Hey everyone! Just a little update — we’re heading out for a fun Winter Detective soon! with nanny care.

Previously, I was a primary school teacher taking care of young kids who are 6-8ish. I sing songs, painting, create DIY craft. 🌿My approach is a nature-based and child-led activity. 🌿I believe that young souls need to grow in nature initially, then they develop other skills automatically later in life when they have emotional safety net embedded from within. 🌿Resilience, self-confidence, empathy and self-reflection could be developed by engaging in slow-pace and hands-on activities.

I have been working with children since I was very young. My experience includes taking care of kids from very different ages, teaching English in schools, tutoring students, and working in summer camps. I am passionate about education and child development, and I always strive to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for kids. My background in teaching has given me strong skills in patience, creativity, and communication.

Hello there! A little about me: I’m a compassionate, friendly, and caring person who is responsible and patient. I have a high spirit and a passion for life, remaining optimistic at all times. I am determined and confident in my abilities. Helping children grow in a healthy, happy, and safe environment is very important to me and comes naturally. I believe in educating children about right and wrong, as well as instilling great manners, which I encourage strongly. I have worked for many families in Australia and overseas, and I have also raised my own four children, including a set of twins, who are now wonderful young adults—educated, intelligent, and well-respected individuals (though I may be biased!). Throughout my many years of experience, I have cared for over a dozen families and have also worked with children who are hard of hearing, autistic, or battling leukemia. In addition to childcare, I do light housekeeping, including cooking and baking, which I truly enjoy, although it depends on the time available. I’m happy to assist with all ages of children; they are all lovely and unique in their own ways, and each presents its own delightful challenges. My previous occupations, aside from being a nanny, include laboratory assistant, fitness instructor, hospitality worker, caterer, receptionist, retail manager, administration officer, and integration aide. Although I am 58 years old, I am full of energy, fit, and healthy, and I embrace a healthy lifestyle, which keeps my outlook on life youthful! I have excellent references from previous and current employers who can verify my experience and work ethic as a nanny and educator. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss your family's needs. I look forward to hearing from you! Many thanks, Maria 😊
