Nannies in VIC, elwood

Casey ~ Elwood

As an Aunty of 8 I like to think I have quite the experience with children. I love all of my nieces and nephews and cant begin to describe the joy i get watching them grow up. I have also worked with many children over the last five years, working as an integration aide in a primary school to working as a program coordinator in OSH and holiday programs with children aging from prep to grade six. I have experience working with children with disabilities such as autism and feel I can handle myself if there is a situation arising. I have also worked as a cleaner in a retirement home so I like to keep things neat and tidy. I enjoy doing laundry and ironing as well as cooking meals and desserts.
I am first aide trained, asthma and anaphylaxis trained and am currently studying to be a secondary art teacher.

Kate ~ Elwood

**Available for night time babysitting am happy to work Friday and Saturday nights**.

I have been caring for children, from newborns to 10 years old for many years. I am currently caring for 2 boys aged 2 and 4. My last role I was with the family for nearly 4 years caring for 3 children who are now 6, 7 and 11. And who I still keep in regular contact with. This demonstrates both my commitment to roles and the close bond that I develop with the children and parents. Previously I have worked as a nanny in New Zealand 2 to 3 days per week for 2 different families at the same time. Following my move to Australia in 2002 I worked at a childcare centre and although it was very fulfilling I decided that working in a family environment was more suited to me. I am very confident with any age, and have always been able to communicate well within a family, both with the parents and the children. I am imaginative and fun and have a lot of interest in the world so I feel I have something to share as a nanny. I really enjoy the time I spend with children and the joy of watching them grow and develop. References, Police Checks and a resume are available on request.

Ruby ~ Elwood

Hi all parents and carers,
My name is Ruby, I am 27 years old and I work part-time in Mental Health. I also volunteer one day a week with a fabulous organisation.
I am the eldest of 16 cousins, so I grew up babysitting most of them as new-born babies, toddlers, children, helping my aunties out with all sorts of things. I miss it greatly and it's resulted in me feeling clucky.....but not being ready to have kids.....but wanting to love other ones! Healf of my cousins are Jewish Orthodox so am comfortable with those households and customs. I'm comfortable enforcing rules, having fun and laughing,being silly, driving kids around, having groups of kids to look after if a mate drops round to play. I can cook and be strict at bed-time! I am trustworthy, you can ask all my aunties!
Hope I can help out with your kids, so you can do what you need to do.

Ashling ~ Elwood

hiya parents! :) My name is Ashling and I am an early years specialist. I have completed a degree in early childhood studies in which I have gained high quality learning in specialist areas in child development such as behaviour management, special education needs, learning through play, the acquistion of language and communication skills, literacy and numeracy development etc. As a professional practitioner, I place important emphasis on my role as an a adult and reflect on how I can promote children's development holistically. To achieve full potential of your children my view on learning is a very child centered approach. I identify the interests, likes and dislikes of children and integrate them in their development mainly by learning through play and exploration. Through all areas of a child's development I feel behaviour management is an integral aspect in all areas. As a practitioner, my role is establish different behaviour management approaches and identify what best suits your child. I place great emphasis on praising and rewarding good behaviour and ignoring or redirection of negative behaviour.
Being passionate about what I do, finding interacting with children to be very natural and enjoying working with children, I gain a sense of personal satisfaction in helping children discover themselves and the world around them. Being a very pleasant and enthusiastic person who is responsible, caring, patient, consistent and can use her initiative I feel I have the required qualities needed to work with children. As well as my academic and personal qualities, I am very experienced and have a wide range of experience working in different settings such as a kindergarten, primary school, special needs school, summer camp, summer day schemes, drama club both one to one and group interaction. The age range starting from as young as 6months to 16 years old. My overall aim and foundation basis is to make sure children enjoy their time with me making their experiences fun and enjoyable for both of us :)

Ebony ~ Elwood

Hi All,

I'm Ebony, (26) I'd like to think of myself as fun loving, bubbly, and energetic!

I am a registered Midwife currently working part-time in one of Melbourne's high risk tertiary hospitals. Prior to commencing my career I worked part time whilst studying as a nanny/ a swim teacher /coach and in a creche for 7 years.

As much as I love my current job, being in such a full on career can be quite stress full at the best of times, and i'm currently in a Monday-Thursday 8-4:30 position so I have decided to look for some casual evening babysitting to give me a better work/life balance!

I love working with kids, I recently finished nannying for a family of 3 boys 5,7 & 8 after 5 years on and off. I'm looking for little more evening work for the poor parents who would desperately love a night out to catch a movie or have some dinner, but have been reserved in handing the responsibility of their children over to a stranger!

I have nannyed in the past as a live in and during the day.

I like doing crafty stuff, cooking, playing, parks, bike rides, trips to the childrens farms, I'd like to think I'm a bit of a big kid myself!

I have a current police check, am registered on the Nurses board of Victoria as Division 1 Nurse/Midwife. I also have a current Working with Children's Check, Advanced First Aid, CPR, Austswim, Teacher of Infant Aquatics, Certificate 4 in Disability studies.

I'm just after casual babysitting work at the moment, Weeknights after 5:30-6 or weekends. Perhaps the odd weekday if my roster permits (It often does, but not set weekdays free specifically.)

So if your local or not to far away, and would love a night out, but don't want to always rely on relatives please feel free to shoot me through a message with what your looking for!

Excellent references can easily be provided at short notice.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Louise ~ Elwood

Hi there! My name is Louise and I am currently here in Melbourne on a one years working visa, which is due to expire in August. I am a qualified primary school teacher with one years teaching experience. When I was a teacher in the UK, I was responsible for the education and welfare of 27 young children, all between the ages of 8-10. In the year that I was teaching I built up very close relationships with all the children and their parents. Throughout my 4 year teaching course, I had experience teaching children from the ages of 2-12 years, so I am more than comfortable working with children of any age. I am a kind, loving and enthusiastic person who is extremely passionate about working with young children. I came to Australia to gain experience in other fields of work but after a few months of working in other areas, I have realised how much I miss doing what I do best, working with children!
I would love to be given the opportunity to work with a loving family - the more children the better, I have coped with 50 nursery children, so 3 or 4 should be more than manageable :) I promise to bring fun, love and safety to whichever family would give me this opportunity!
I am currently looking for either full or part-time work.
