Hi, I’m an Irish nanny based in Maroubra. Currently looking for full time days. I have been nannying full time for 3 years in Australia including twins from 5months-3years old. I have over 10 years of nannying/childminding in ireland. Most of my work & experience has been with newborn-2 year olds. I am very comfortable and confident with young babies. I have extensive experience & knowledge with different forms of feeding be it paced feeding for breast fed or colic babies/pumped/formula/introduction to solids be it puree or baby led weaning including the stages of allergy testing. I’m very confident when it comes to getting babies to sleep in a safe & secure way. I have done lots of gentle sleep training methods with babies I have nannied including overnight help for parents I am a very caring, nurturing & responsible nanny. Although my job is to care for the babies daily needs & make sure they have fun, the most important thing to me is keeping them safe. I have always loved babies, helping them learn and grow. I enjoy keeping busy with the babies & love to bring the little ones to parks/beaches/play groups/library classes/swimming and on cute cafe dates. Meeting other Nannie’s/mums & baby friends. I also have a little cavalier dog & with my current babies the parents are more than happy for me to pop in & take him for walks with the little ones which they love but this is completely up to the parents. He’s a gentle little guy & I’m always beyond careful & cautious when it comes to babies being around any dogs no matter how friendly they are. I am fun, affectionate, caring & very patient. I form a loving bond with all babies that I care for and treat them like they are my own nieces & nephews back home who I miss terribly! Always more than happy to take babies to any appointments or development checks they have. I like to keep parents updated on how the babies are doing & pass on any info I think is necessary at the end of the day. Lots of my families love to get picture/video updates of all the fun we get up to throughout the day but this is completely up to the parents. I have my own car so am happy to put seats into my car if needed or I am more than happy to drive a family car. I often care for babies in my own house if it suits the parents better on days they have to work from home (obviously this is once they’ve known me for a while) Rate: $40/hr $60/hr for nanny share ($30/hr per family) $50/hr Sundays First aid & CPR certification WWCC. Australian Police check Irish police check I have a full drivers license My own car (can add seats) Comfortable driving family car I can provide multiple references (I also have multiple references on this app) Nannying full time in Sydney for 3 years I’ve done nannying/babysitting in ireland for 10+ years I have worked in preschool/afterschool settings back in ireland I also have a qualification in child special needs assisting.

"Emma has been amazing looking after our 14 month old daughter for 1 full day a week (8-9 hours) over the last few weeks and ongoing. She picked up her routine straight away and has always been great at communicating and keeping me up to date. Our daughter has lots of fun with Emma, playing at home or going to the park. During nap times Emma is always happy to help out with some household jobs which is very appreciated. We feel very lucky to have found someone so great to spend time with our daughter every week!"
From Laura - Randwick
"Emma is a pro and a natural. She is the first person outside of family that we have left our child with. She started looking after our boy from 7 months and continues to be a trusted person for our family. It is such a relief and support to know we can trust Emma to help with our little one, whether it be a full day of care or an evening here and there. Emma incorporates any direction or instruction into her approach with our little boy. I couldn't recommend her enough! "
