Tutoring Jobs
Hi families! 👋🏼 My name is Orlaith and I’m a qualified primary teacher from Ireland who has recently relocated to Melbourne. I’m a warm, reliable, and enthusiastic caregiver who genuinely loves caring for children and supporting their development in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment ✨. Alongside my teaching background, I have many years of hands-on experience nannying and babysitting children of all ages, from small babies to older children. Back home in Ireland, I also worked with a professional nannying agency, which strengthened my ability to adapt quickly to different family dynamics, routines, and parenting styles while always maintaining the highest standards of care. With my background in education and childcare, I bring a calm, structured, and caring approach to every role. I understand the importance of routines, patience, and positive reinforcement in helping children feel secure, confident, and happy 🤗. I’m confident caring for multiple children at once and supporting everything from feeding, nap times, and bedtime routines to homework help, school runs, and engaging play. I’m highly responsible, organised, and attentive, and I always prioritise a child’s safety and wellbeing. I love planning age-appropriate activities that encourage creativity, learning, and fun — whether that’s arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, or imaginative games — while also being mindful of each child’s individual needs 🧩. Families often describe me as kind, trustworthy, and dependable. I take great pride in being someone parents can fully rely on and someone children feel comfortable, happy, and safe around. Clear communication with parents and respect for each family’s values and routines are very important to me. I’m excited to meet lovely families in Melbourne and would love the opportunity to provide high-quality, professional, and genuinely caring support in your home 🥰. I look forward to becoming a trusted and positive presence in your child’s life and your family’s routine!

Childcare Experience
I’m a qualified primary school teacher with over 8 years of experience caring for children in a variety of settings. I started babysitting as a teenager and have since worked as both a regular babysitter and nanny alongside my teaching career. I’ve also worked as a camp leader at children’s summer camps, organising activities, leading groups, and ensuring a safe and positive environment for all children in my care. I have experience with children of all ages, from toddlers to early teens and am completely comfortable with any age group. As a primary school teacher, I’m very confident supporting homework, reading practice, and learning through play, while also understanding the importance of routine, patience, and positive behaviour support. I’m experienced in school runs, bedtime routines, meal preparation, activity planning, and caring for multiple children at once. My time as a camp leader strengthened my ability to manage groups, think on my feet, and keep children engaged in fun, creative, and active ways. What I find most rewarding about childcare is building strong, trusting relationships with children and watching their confidence grow. I love creating a warm, safe, and happy environment where children feel valued, supported, and free to be themselves. Seeing a child laugh, learn something new, or feel proud of themselves is genuinely the best part of the job. I’m responsible, reliable, energetic, and genuinely passionate about working with children.
Tutoring Experience
I am a fully qualified primary school teacher with several years of classroom teaching experience. Throughout my career, I have worked with children of varying abilities, learning styles, and needs, which has allowed me to develop strong skills in differentiation, patience, and clear communication. In addition to my professional teaching experience, I have provided casual tutoring support to friends and family members over the years. This has included helping with literacy, numeracy, homework support, exam preparation, and building confidence in specific subject areas. Through this one-to-one support, I have developed an ability to tailor lessons to individual students, identify gaps in understanding, and adapt my teaching approach to suit each learner. As a qualified teacher, I understand curriculum expectations, assessment standards, and effective teaching strategies. I focus not only on improving academic performance but also on building confidence, motivation, and a positive attitude towards learning. I am organised, supportive, and committed to helping students reach their full potential in a structured yet encouraging environment.
