Nannies in VIC, northcote

Grace ~ Northcote

I am a recently retired primary/secondary teacher, happy, warm, healthy, energetic, flexible and very patient. My hobbies include following current affairs, playing the piano, reading, going to the gym, bush walking, cooking and live theatre. I currently live with my daughter and son-in-law who have an 18 month old son and a 4 month old daughter, in whose care I am blessed to be heavily involved. I am seeking a small amount of work to supplement my income, and am able to be extremely flexible as to times and days. Because I have only recently retired from teaching my main references are from family members, my two daughters, for whom I have done, and continue to do, a lot of caring as a substitute parent, but I have also just finished working part-time for a family where the mother is recovering from illness, and you would, I am sure, be most welcome to chat to her.
I enjoy challenging children through play and helping them to mature socially, emotionally and intellectually. Also, if your children do not have a nearby grandparent to relate to, I believe I could make a positive contribution to your family.

Lisa ~ Northcote

A big hello to all. My name is Lisa Yates, I am 25 years old and are looking for a Nanny position 2 days a week (Monday & Friday) with additional afterschool care\babysitting if required. I am moving to Northcote on April 2nd 2013, from the 'country' - Gippsland VIC and are attending Latrobe University to complete my Bachelor of Arts degree. I have worked with children for over 6 years - including working for Latrobe city council as a Preschool assistant for 2 years, and 1 year at the TELC in the child care (ages 8weeks-4 years). In november I just arrived back to Austalia from a 2yr overseas trip. Where I held 2 nanny jobs in London - both extremely different. The first one was for a high class family caring for their 4 year old daughter. This job entailed all aspects of the childs needs - organising play dates, buying of clothes, cooking, her washing, ironing, school drop off and pick up etc. The second job I worked as a Nanny in London was for a lovely Aus family, Caring for their 2 sons (9months and 3years). It was very hard to come back home and leave these boys! We went to the parks, play groups, music classses - almost everthing outside and active (when the weather let us) cooked their dinner, put them down for sleeps, washing and general care. I believe that I am an outgoing, fun, loyal and caring person who loves the outdoors, and intertacing with children.

Kate ~ Northcote

Hi there! I am an enthusiastic, creative person that loves spending time with children and I have experience ranging from casual babysitting to full-time Nannying.
It is wonderful to see children learn and grow, and an absolute privilege to be part of that process. I always endeavour to facilitate positive learning experiences, whether through craft activities, games, excursions, reading/story telling or just through everyday conversation with the child/ren. I know how important it is to keep kids entertained with structured activities, however I also am passionate about the value of imagination and free play. Of course, it is also very important to me that clear guidelines are discussed about your expectations regarding play, discipline and nutrition, because if there's one thing I know, it's that consistency with children is vital!
Please contact me if you are looking for a casual/part-time Nanny, who will provide a safe and fun learning environment for your young family members.

I really enjoy working with children as I have found it to the most rewarding work I have ever undertaken, I want to provide positive and fun experiences for children, especially ones who find it difficult when their parents are away. I have a whole variety or rainy day and outside activities that I enjoy to participate in and involve children with, such as drawing, painting, baking, reading, making cubbies, walks in the park, picnics, ball games, dancing and singing.

I also prepare and cook meals for kids, and have done so for children with lactose intolerance, peanut and egg allergies, kidney problems and a growing boy who is now a rookie in the Victorian cricket squad. I have no hesitations in undertaking a role that involves duties such as these.

Melinda ~ Northcote

Hi there, if you haven’t already found your Mary Poppins, I may be able to assist. Whilst I do have an umbrella, I cannot fly - I can however engage your children in creative play, love dress ups and crafts, hanging out at the monkey bars (or hanging on to your little ones at the monkey bars), cafe inhabiting, and the odd grocery shop at the supermarket, or a visit to the library is also nice.
With a background in teaching and currently studying kinesiology, I could help to engage your children in learning and assist in their developmental learning stages. I am mature, can throw together a meal, keep to a schedule (with chaotic momentum if that’s what patterns, kinder, meal times, play, the day, or your little ones require). And, I will always be on time.
I am an aunty to 7 children & have been called in to play Fairy god mother at children’s parties (while the pied piper played a horn, I find leading a crew is all in the tone of the voice, and setting clear boundaries doesn’t hurt either).
Should your child come into mortal danger (let’s hope not!) I also have a first aid certificate.
I would love the come and meet you and your little ones.

Brianna ~ Northcote

Hello!

My name is Brianna. I have recently completed my studies and will be starting my career at Deloitte at the start of July this year. I am looking for some nannying work from the 17th April through to the end of June.

I am currently away on a 3-month holiday to the United States (present to myself for finishing uni), but prior to my trip and throughout my university degree I have been a nanny. I worked for two families in Melbourne, a family with 1 son (I looked after him for 2 years from the age of 12 months) and for another family of three children (1 year old girl and two boys aged 7 & 10).

Before I left on my holiday, I was nannying 3 days a week from 8:30am – 5:30pm. I also helped the parents out on weekends, stayed later during the week when the parents were away on work trips and stayed with the kids overnight on some occasions.

I’m trustworthy, fun, imaginative, reliable, flexible and strict when I have to be. I have had an extensive amount of experience with looking after children and many references to ensure I am the right person to look after your kids.

I would love to hear from you! (Even if it’s just for casual babysitting at night, or casual days here and there.)

Hope to hear from you soon, Bree.

I was perviously a live in nanny for a 3 year old italian girl, helping her with after school play, bath time, english language and sleeptime.

I currently babysit a 6 month old on an irregular basis and would like to continue working for other parents.

I love children and have a niece aged 3 and nephew aged 1 who I can't get enough of.

Ideally I'm looking for anything from occasional work to part-time on a regular basis. I am very flexible with my work times and days and happy to work around the parents plans on a weekly basis.

I'm a very creative person and love to interact with children, providing them with lots of learning play.

Hi! My name is Jodie and I am a 28 year old. I am very responsible, energetic lady, who loves working with children; I have over 4 years of childcare experience from nannying newborns, toddlers and babysitting school level children. I have completed my certificate III and Diploma in Children’s services.

The positions I held required various responsibilities which included preparing play and learning experiences, supervise children’s play, ensuring their physical safety at all times, guide children’s behaviour and social development positively, helping them with their homework , provided safe transport to school, activities and sporting events and also organising dinner for the child and light household jobs.

I’m currently working at a Family Relationship centre working with separated parents with children, but I have decided to study community and welfare services next year, this means I’ll be looking for casual/PT work.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards

Jodie
