Magda ~ Northcote

Hi, my names Magda. I'm a young, open minded person who loves children. I live near Dennis station and am available at short notice on 0458501584.

I am available over the summer for school holiday care and also throughout the year on a casual/part time basis as I am a student (studying social work/social science(psychology)). I'm not available on Wednesday and Thursday evenings until 8pm as I have a permanent nannying position on these days where I have sole care of 3 beautiful young girls.
I am confident and experienced with children of all ages as I have been babysitting/nannying since I was a young teen. I also have experience with children who suffer from anaphylaxis, asthma and allergies.
I love getting crafty and creative with kids, going on outings/adventures (to the park, swimming pool, zoo, museum etc.) reading stories together, playing around with musical instruments, playing outdoor games, helping/researching for school homework and assignments.
I encourage active or engaging play and discourage television/excessive gaming and internet use. I am very easygoing and lighthearted but will confidently implement rules when they are needed; I prefer an approach which demands manners and personal responsibility without negativity and aggression (where possible!) for example: not "that's very rude" instead "I would like you to ask me again in a polite way please" and not "I told you to get off the road" instead "please stay on the footpath and be very careful to look left and right for cars on driveways and roads"
As I attended a Steiner school for my primary years I feel aspects of my experiences as a young person shape the way in which I try to interact with my (nannying) children.
I would love to hear from you and come to meet your family in the near future!

Please feel free to call, text or email me anytime and we can meet somewhere local for a cuppa and a chat!

I am scrupulous when it comes to cleaning and tidying, which I know makes a big difference day in, day out. I have excellent references and come to you with not only a capacity, but also a deep willingness to become a part of your family as a presence you can rely on and trust - in both being in your home and in caring for your children.

Rebecca ~ Northcote

I have worked as a high level corporate professional, changing my career in my late 30's to successfully pursue TV and independent film. Part of my film time was spent teaching children drama and teaching parents to 'not be stage pushy'. I am still working as a fee-lance writer and my husband and I are currently going through the process of adoption which is at least twelve months away. My favourite part of life at the moment is looking after my nephew's and my much loved godson and goddaughter. I am offering an exceptional approach to taking care of children which includes never raising my voice and an ability to keep little minds stimulated and happy. I will provide referees. If you think I am suitable lets have a chat and see if we are a good fit.

Erica ~ Northcote

My name is Erica, I am 25 years old, and I am looking for families in the northern suburbs who would like a kind, patient, responsible, and experienced carer for their children. I love to work with children of all ages and have particular experience with babies, toddlers, and young children.

I have been working with children for the last 12 years, first as a babysitter when I was a teenager in America and as a full-time nanny during university. I then worked as a teacher for 3 years in Vietnam and Thailand, teaching children of various ages from an array of different backgrounds. I trained as a Montessori teacher and studied early childhood development while working in a kindergarten with 3-6 year olds, and later headed my own nursery class (18 months to 3 years). Since arriving in Australia I have sincerely missed the joyful experience of spending every day with children and I am greatly looking forward to forming a meaningful relationship with families in Melbourne.

In my previous work I became very accustomed to maintaining the day-to-day routine of children. As a nanny I was responsible for bathing, feeding, upkeep of hygiene, school drop-offs and pick-ups, bedtime, outings, light housework, and playing with children in the home. My teaching work focused on creating an environment where children could be comfortable to express themselves and learn to do daily tasks independently. In the nursery class I taught we also emphasized toilet training and doing age-appropriate self-care tasks unassisted.

I am available any time during the week for part-time, full-time, or sporadic work. I am also available weekend evenings. Please don't hesitate to contact me with as few or as many hours as you need as I am happy to work with both a set or flexible schedule. I am very reliable and punctual and would be happy to work regularly or once in a while. I will definitely stay in Melbourne for the next six months, at which point I will pay a short visit home to the States and then hope return to Melbourne to live permanently.

I have been trained in First Aid through the schools where I was previously employed. I will happily provide references and a police check. My pay rate will vary depending on the number of children and travel time (I am living in Northcote) but it is flexible according to circumstances.

I sincerely look forward to hearing from you and meeting your family!

Amber ~ Northcote

I am a 29yr old Mother who has been working as a Nanny for the past 13 years. I have two children- my son is 5 years old and my daughter is 3.5 years old.

I am an attachment parent and this extends to the children I care for. I am passionate about babywearing, gentle guidance and I take the time to explain to children what other options they have instead of using time outs etc.

I have worked for over 25 families and have cared for 15 sets of twins. I have impeccable references, a fantastic attitude with children and a respect for varying styles of parenting. And being a parent myself, I better understand the needs of parents, and have greater experience with babies than your average nanny. I usually work for families for a period of more than one year to provide stability to children.

I am also happy to babysit at night or on weekends and also overnight stays.

I have cared for a large number of twins and I am experienced in children close together in age.

My 3 year old daughter comes along to work with me for some daytime nannying jobs. She attends kindergarten 3 days a week- Tues, Thurs and one other day. You may not have considered a mummy-nanny, but there are many great benefits to having a mother as a nanny. I am more experienced than most nannies as looking after children is my life, not my job. Your child gets a playmate when you are at work, so it tends to soften to impact of separation. All of the families I have worked for since having my children have spoken about the unexpected benefits of having a mummy-nanny. I also charge a lower rate if she comes to work with me.

My son (5) attends school in Fitzroy.

I also work as a Doula (birth attendant) and attend births around Melbourne- hospital births, homebirths, birth centre births and cesareans. I am qualified to be a post-birth support.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Zoe ~ Northcote

I originally started nannying by chance as a mother saw that I had a connection with her children at a party and offered me a job.

I stopped working in the corporate world and loved every minute of it! I went back to office work due to personal circumstances then returned to nannying overseas as I love and missed children and the diversity in the role! Everyday is full of fun and excitement with something new and different from each child.

I have overall almost 5 years experience with age groups ranging from 18months - 10 years old.

My last role was in Switzerland which involved a lot of travel, all nursery duties, occasional cooking and driving to park, farm etc.

I am very flexible with dates and times and pay per hour can be negotiated in accordance to duties etc.

I am a very happy, enthusiastic, open,loyal, honest and energetic person who has a passion for ensuring children are always happy and well looked after.

I still have an amazing relationship with all the children I have looked after. All the families have become family to me and keep close contact.

I have returned to Australia on a permanent basis and would ideally like full time work.

Temporary full time roles are also an option.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Kind Regards and Many Thanks
Zoe
