Creative carer - providing fun, inspiration and warmth to your children. I love kids and hope to provide them with lots of warmth and care. I have babysat from one child, up to four. Personally I am a creative and enjoy writing, acting/performing arts and visual art, some of these things can be translated into games or activities for children including role play, reading, dance and drawing.

I am a provisional psychologist currently completing my Masters in Clinical Psychology. I have been working in children's health research for 3.5 years, however, have decided that whilst completing my degree I would like to work as a nanny for a more active/creative/fun role where I'm on my feet more! I have 4+ years as a nanny, with children aged 1 yr - 13 yrs old; I'm comfortable cooking and doing light housework. I also have experience in disability support work, and as a provisional psychologist working with children in a community clinic - as such, I am generally comfortable working with neurodiverse children. Availability: I am on placement Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so I cannot nanny these days - I also have afternoon classes at Uni on Thursdays. Outside of these hours, my availability is really flexible. I am ideally in search of 8-16 hours per week, but am very flexible with this as well. I am warm, energetic, and reliable - I have a real passion for working with kids. I have a WWCC, police check, and parent references. Please reach out if you have any questions :-)

I am studying Film and Television for my first year at Swinburne University. I love children and have been babysitting since a young age, and I also love animals. I trained as a swimming instructor and am great with supervising young children, and I am an extremely safe driver. I'm the kind of babysitter/nanny that would love to be doing crafts and cooking with children, reading books, library visits, trips to the park, etc. I come from a great family with excellent values and references.

As a compassionate and dedicated babysitter, I bring an abundance of warmth and empathy to every interaction with the small humans I hang out with. My bubbly personality ensures that I create a lively and engaging environment where kids feel comfortable expressing themselves. I approach each child with an open mind, embracing their unique personalities and interests. Whether it's playing games, reading stories, or simply listening attentively, I prioritize building strong connections based on trust and understanding. With a keen sense of responsibility and a genuine love for children, I strive to provide a safe and supportive space where young minds can flourish and thrive. (Albeit cheesy :)

Hi, my names Ella! I am an 18 year old girl who just started my first year of uni studying Design and Business at Monash.

I'm responsible, caring, and reliable with a genuine love for working with children.

Clear boundaries, and providing a positive and happy environment so children can thrive, are important factors to help a child reach their full potential. The child’s care always comes first. To watch a child grow and develop their own individual personalities is the most rewarding part of my nanny job. I have been a nanny for 15 plus years. I have worked locally and in Europe and Asia. I have worked with a variety of ages from 3 months to 16 years. I am looking for a full time nannying job. Please note, rate of pay is negotiable.
