Au pairs in Gardenvale, VIC

Hi everyone! I bring four years of experience as a babysitter/housekeeper, working with children from 11months to 15 years of age. I have a car, first aid certificate, WWCC, parent references... I am confident in my abilities to contribute to happy and healthy kids. I use a gentle approach that builds trust and playfulness in kids, which I think is an important factor when keeping kids safe and explorative. I am responsible, I seek to build a trusted and healthy environment in families I work with, and have honed these skills in over the years. I work with children of all ages, my experience over the years has helped me be confident in establishing good relationships with the family, and being a helpful addition to a family life :) My key strengths include communicating effectively with parents, being reliable and honest, having a cheerful disposition. I've worked in other sectors such as support work, hospitality, retail and customer service, and with my previous 3 year experience studying healthcare (ie. dentistry), I have a history of being caring and responsible, in particular I hope to ensure that the kids are well cared for. Please consider my application to work with your family. I would love to know more and I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with closely with the family. I enjoy healthy meals and keeping the space tidy. I like to be a well-rounded person and believe in keeping kids busy with outdoor play, toys, arts and craft over TV ideally. I love art, creative activities, keeping active, going to the park. Warm regards, Diva

hello! My name is Sophia. I am 24 years old, and this is the beginning of my third year living in Australia. I’m American but have been abroad for the better part of 4 years. Though I have mostly been in Melbourne, I have spent some time working for families in rural Victoria and most recently Tasmania. Outside of managing activities and routine, I am very passionate about social emotional learning and development. I find it incredibly important and rewarding to encourage children to communicate clearly about their emotions. I believe this is incredibly helpful as they begin to navigate the world, and, as a nanny, it is alway such a privilege to assist and watch a child's growth in this way. I am super flexible and always easy to reach on my phone. I would love to attach my resume, but I don't see a way for me to do that here. I will gladly send it to you along with references when needed. Thanks for your time:)

Dear Parents, I am an experienced nanny who has had the privilege of growing up in a large family with many children.

Over the past few years, I have built a strong foundation in childcare through roles as a teacher, au pair, and nanny. One of the unique aspects I bring to the table is my proficiency in multiple languages as a foreigner. I am enthusiastic about sharing my language skills with your children, providing them with a valuable opportunity for language acquisition and cultural enrichment. Having children around me brings me immense joy, and this love for their company has been a driving force in my career choices.

Reliability is at the core of my work ethic, and I take pride in being a dependable caregiver. As a nanny, I understand that parents often have busy lives, and I am here to assist you by taking some of the responsibilities off your plate, allowing you to focus on other important aspects of your life.

If your kids want to be around someone who is full of joy and excitement for life, is fun, imaginative, can explore with them and meet them where they are at, I’m your woman. In the years that I have had the honour of learning and growing alongside little humans, I have realised they are often my biggest teachers and I approach them the same way I choose to learn and grow in life, with open attention, curiosity and love. Each kid is so unique, and so I choose to not confine my approach to any specific methods or parenting techniques, rather I listen, I observe and grow alongside them, adapting and meeting them where they are at with compassion and understanding. The capacity to which I can hold space for myself and love myself through big emotions and feelings mirrors how I can hold space in challenging times with kids. I am still learning everyday, but through my consistent somatic practise, meditation, embodiment, dance, and my faith, my capacity to navigate challenge with patience and ease has grown. I endeavour to pass on my wisdom in a creative and playful way to your kids, so they too can flourish, thrive and grow into incredible beings that lead the next generation.

Hi, I’m Zaira, a caregiver with a deep love for children As the eldest of six children, caring for others has always been a big part of my life. From a young age, I naturally stepped into a role of responsibility, helping to look after my siblings, cousins, and extended family while our parents worked. Growing up in Africa, that kind of support within the family is second nature — it’s how we’re raised, and it’s something I’ve always taken pride in. After moving to Australia, that same love for caring didn’t change. I’ve looked after my neighbour’s daughter, and most memorably, a beautiful baby girl named Maya. I began caring for her when she was just three months old, and stayed with her until she turned one. She became like family to me, and being part of her early milestones, from her first smile to her first steps, was incredibly special. Working with children brings me real joy. I love watching their personalities grow, listening to their little stories, and being someone they feel safe and happy around. I’ve always been known for being patient, gentle, and reliable whether it’s keeping routines in place, helping with learning and play, or simply offering comfort when it’s needed most. Looking after children isn’t just something I do. It’s something I genuinely care about. Every child deserves to feel loved, supported, and understood, and I always aim to create that kind of space when I’m with them. I’m grateful for every opportunity to be part of a child’s life and to support families in whatever way I can.

A caring and patient individual with 6 years of hands - on experience working with and teaching children of various age. I enjoy helping children learn new skills and guiding their activities, and creating a safe, positive, and fun environment. With a calm personality and a geniune love for kids.

I love getting to know each child and helping them feel happy, relaxed, and supported. I’m patient, creative, and always ready to join in with play, help with routines, or offer a listening ear. In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, baking, art, reading, and hiking.
