I also help households run smoothly: meal prep, kids’ laundry, tidying, light organisation, shopping, and pet care.

Hello mums and dads! My name is Luisa, and I am located in the Bayside area, St Kilda East, precisely. I have a Latin American background, and I am a native Spanish speaker. I consider myself a woman with moral and ethical values defined; moreover, I still have some of those important aspects we had when we were kids, such as a young and funny spirit, a creative and easy-going personality, and a great understanding and empathy towards people, especially the little ones. A little bit about my story working with families here in Melbourne: I have worked in both permanent-nanny and casual-babysitting roles, helping parents with their children’s needs and routines. My support covers in-home care, and/or morning routines, school drop/off and pickup, transportation to extracurricular classes, and night routines. I have had the fortune to work with families of only 3 members and up to 7, mum, dad, 3 children and their pets! Right now, I am looking for a part-time or full-time position, a job that is ongoing and reliable, which I, of course, am committed to delivering. I hope you found this information special, and if so, please reach out if you are in search of a new helper!

I love interacting and getting involved in activities with the kids as much as possible but also understand they sometimes need their own down time and I am happy to do other things to assist around the house. It’s a great feeling getting to know kids, creating strong relationships with them and doing what I can to make sure they enjoy themselves. It’s a pleasure seeing kids grow and mature as they grow up and it is awesome if I can make their time as a child as fun as possible.

I am a Diploma qualified early childhood educator and adore being a nanny. Been a nanny for 9 years and appreciate the baby to toddler years the most. It’s where I can introduce the little ones to our world, wonder, creative play and a little silliness. I like to take them outdoors to explore our local environment while following their routine. My background is in fashion design, so being creative is what I bring to childhood. I am a mum of two teenage boys who showed me the way with high energy and challenges. But I ended up adoring the aspects and wonder of early childhood.
