Hi mums and dads! I’m Marianela, a warm and reliable nanny from Argentina, living in Manly Vale. I have experience caring for babies from 1.5 months up to children around 10 years old, including au pair experience in the USA. With a background in pedagogy, I focus on gentle care, free play, and creating a calm, safe environment where children feel secure and happy.
I have several years of childcare experience caring for babies and children from 1.5 months old up to around 9–10 years old. I worked as an au pair in the USA and also have babysitting experience in Argentina. I’m confident with infant care, including feeding, nappy changes, settling routines, naps, and creating a calm and safe environment. With older children, I support daily routines, free play, creative activities, and outdoor time. I studied pedagogy and I’m especially interested in child-led play, free movement, and respectful care inspired by Emmi Pikler. I focus on building a trusting relationship with children and working closely with parents to support each family’s values and routines.
