Hey families, My name is Marnie, and I'm 35, and I have over 19 years of experience in teaching, childcare and nannying and find these roles both professionally rewarding as well as consistent with my personal values. In addition, I have a Bachelor of Education (Primary), Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, and a Certificate 3 in Children's Services. Over the past four years, I have been a classroom teacher at a primary school in Brighton East. My role as a teacher has encompassed various aspects of children’s academic, social, and emotional growth. Being a teacher is incredibly rewarding. Not only do you see students’ growth and progress academically, but you can build connections, make a meaningful difference and leave a long-lasting impact on these students' lives. I have a deep understanding of child development, learning styles, and age-appropriate activities. This knowledge allowed me to create engaging and educational experiences for children in my care. I have experience in managing various classrooms and working with diverse groups of students honing my ability to handle different behaviours and adapt to individual needs, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children I care for. But there is one thing I truly miss, caring for children in their home. Being that person in a household who is spreading kindness, care, and support. Before becoming a primary school teacher, I was a nanny. I have worked for several families within Australia and internationally (USA and Canada). My responsibilities included caring for newborn twins, and older children, following routines (including sleep patterns, feeding, and bathing), assisting with household cleaning, driving children to and from after-school activities, assisting with homework, and maintaining close communication with parents. Whilst I was studying for my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, where I was successful in gaining a scholarship through Swinburne University of Technology, to go to Vietnam. During this visit, I was volunteering in Hanoi, teaching English to prep-aged children. It was a fantastic experience and extended my childcare experience, as well as providing learning experiences in another culture, and participating in their usual day-to-day life activities. Prior to this experience, I was a nanny in America. This position involved living-in with a family in New Jersey, USA where I cared for their two children (girls now aged 4 and 8). Living full-time in the family house meant that it was important that my approach and behaviours aligned with the rules and principles of the family. I've also taken on additional roles working with children, such as a Ski Instructor at Mt Buller Ski Resort and an Assistant Educator at Explorer’s Early Learning Centre. These positions showcase my proficiency and professionalism in the field. I have a mature, responsible, and professional way of caring for children and I pride myself on creating a positive, happy environment in which children can thrive. As I'm a primary school teacher, I would not be able to start exactly at 3:30 pm, as that's when our school day ends. However, depending on where you're located, I could get there by 3:45-4:00 pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. We have meetings on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I wouldn't be able to start until 5:00 pm.

Hi! I'm a reliable, caring, and enthusiastic babysitter with over 8 years of experience looking after children aged 6 months to 10 years old. I've cared for children of all different personalities and stages of development, from babies and toddlers to primary school-aged kids. I'm responsible, patient, and understand the importance of building trust with both children and parents. I take pride in being dependable and making sure every child in my care is happy, safe, and well looked after. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and get to know your little ones!

Hi I am Mila!! I am studying a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) Honours and a Bachelor of Arts at Monash Uni. I am currently working as a swim coach at the St Kilda Sea Baths. I teach tiny little babies to swim through a lot of singing, learn to swim classes aswell as adults and squads. I also coach netball at Wesley College. I have worked with professionally for 4 years now but have always been babysitting through my teen years. My experience has allowed me to bring empathy, patience and understanding to every situation I am in. Outside of work and school I absolutely love to read, bake, spend time with my friends especially if it involves travelling to a beach down the Great Ocean Rd or the Peninsula, finding live music to listen to, playing heaps of sport including AFL, netball and swimming and travelling the world. I love to be busy and fill my days learning from others. From the ages of 3-13 my family had either an au pair or a nanny. I understand the impact it can have when someone goes above and beyond to put some extra thought, time and care into helping a family. I can’t wait to meet your family! ✅WWCC ✅Police Check ✅CPR Certification ✅First Aid

While my availability varies around my university commitments, I am flexible and happy to discuss a schedule that works for your family. I would love the opportunity to support your family and look forward to hearing from you.

Throughout my early and mid-twenties, I worked as a nanny for children aged 6 months to 8 years, and I've also spent many years caring for my two younger brothers, who are ten years younger than me. More recently, I've loved being an aunt and regularly looking after my young nephew. Working with children is something I genuinely love. I'm patient, caring, reliable, and energetic, and I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and happy. I'm currently available for casual evening and weekend babysitting.

I look forward to meeting your family!

I am currently taking a break from the corporate world, reconsidering my career and have chosen to get back into child care as a casual/contracting babysitter, nanny and/or au-pair. I am looking at studying Psychotherapy, with the goal to move into Play Therapy and working with children. Throughout my life, I worked with children on and off. Most recently I have been teaching Kids Yoga, and have developed my own Kids Yoga program. I also have experience working with children as a babysitter, an au-pair and have assisted at nursery schools back in the day. I strive for personal integrity, clear communication, laughter, play, community and compassion. I love children and am always delightfully humbled by their unique view of the world. I find their love of life inspiring and love to explore and re-learn with them.

Hi there! I am very excited about meeting and getting to know you. ABOUT ME: I have been providing childcare over the past 22 years. The last 9 of those years, I have been a Nanny. I have worked with many different families: with 1-4 children; twins with a younger sibling, all girls, all boys, brothers & sisters; with an age range of 9mths - 12 years old. As all children & families are different I like to stay adaptable, to meet the needs of the unique situation. Some children are runners, some are quite contemplators, others always need to be crafting and creating big cardboard constructions, while another is quite happy to sit while colouring in and drawing for hours on end. However they all ask questions non stop, lols. And I love that because of their curiosity I learn as well; from having to google the answers to the questions I don’t know, e.g. I now know the oldest living animal is the Greenland shark, and it is guessed to have a lifespan of 250-500 yrs. With the current oldest one guessed to be 300 years old! But I only learned this because one child I looked after LOVED the ocean and all its wonders. :) I find I lean towards the Montessori Method of teaching children. I follow the theme of their current interest for play, games and conversations, and I like to incorporate their current obsession, be it space or dinosaurs into our word & math games and everything else we do together. MORNING ROUTINE; breakfast, lunch boxes, school bag packing, day-care/kinder/school drop offs -For the little ones when at home and not at daycare/kindy. I like to have our week planned. Be it excursions to the zoo, park, an indoor play center, library time or classes that helps their development: that the parents have enrolled them into, or I have found that the Mum’s & Dad’s like; e.g. Gymbaroo, Ready steady go, All Sports etc., to activities we can do at the house like baking or painting or even a playdate with their friend/s. HOUSE MANAGEMENT; groceries, maintenance of pantry & basic medicine (ie expiry dates & organisation), light laundry duties, light house keeping, tiding up after myself & the little ones, keeping the kitchen clean & hygienic, school holiday & pupil free day planning, meal planning, food & meal prep (dietary requirements taken into consideration) multi-tasking and other Ad-Hoc tasks. AFTERNOON ROUTINE; networking with other parents & carers at the children’s school- that the children are friends with or do extra curriculum’s with, extracurricular coordination (this is where the networking can sometimes help with car pooling & swapping weeks), planning of play dates, supervise-assistance with homework and practice for their extra curriculum’s. With additional extras from me if wanted/needed or time permits (eg. Music theory, maths etc.) ***I have help children further develop their music skills with my attention and knowledge than what they receive in a 30min class once a week. And I have helped with further development of their Math & literacy skills. HOWEVER my proudest achievement was somehow managing to help my French charge (when an AuPair in Paris) go from an almost F (from her former AuPair) in her French Class to an A. While I was only at a very basic beginner level with my own French skills. * haven’t figuered out how/where to add this in yet. So I’m just plopping it in for now. I gained experience with home schooling during COVID from 2020-2022. With all the families I worked with during all the Melbourne lockdown peroids. EVENING ROUTINE; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine.
