Hey families! I’m a primary school teacher currently working full time but looking for extra work in the evenings/ on weekends/ holidays. Ideally I would love to build a bond with a family and have regular casual shifts with them. Before getting into full time teaching, I previously nannied for over 10 years with multiple families, with kids ranging from 12 months- 15 years old. My first part time job was working at The Tiny Chef, a children's cooking party venue with kids aged 2-13, so I have plenty of experience being around kids in all settings! I also love being active and playing netball, and am currently coaching two senior teams for Melbourne University. I have previously coached junior sides as well as Net-Set-Go. I really look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, My name is Seleny, I am 26 years old and I live Melbourne, but I am Colombian I arrived in this beautiful city a few months ago because I want to improve my English and have a cultural exchange, I have always loved children and take care of them, I usually took care of my cousins and the children of my friends when they needed it. My family and friends say that I am a very motherly, responsible and loving person, and I also love children. I am responsible person to have the opportunity to improve my English, learn about your lifestyle, your habits and your country, which I admire very much. And what better way than doing what I love! I love spending time with children and learning everything they can teach me every day. They learn a lot from us, but we learn more from them than we think. For me, it is wonderful to see them grow with us and learn, little by little, to be more independent. I have experience in caring for children from twelve months to six years, girls and boys too. In 2017 I took care of a girl named Gabriela Cañon, who was one year old, and a one-year-old boy named Santiago Díaz, then in 2018 I took care of a 3-year-old boy named Juan José Pinzón and with him I shared until the 2020, later this year I had the opportunity to share with a six-year-old girl named Amelia Cardozo. The experience was great. I used to wake the children, have breakfast together, help them dress, take them to the Garden or help them with their homework when they were studying virtually or sometimes, we did activities and games for a pleasant and fun time with the children, however, these Activities varied depending on the child he was with as he adapted the activities according to their ages. Besides the experience in babysitting, I also love listening to music when I have free time, watching movies or series, traveling and learning about other cultures and ways of life, meeting new people, talking and sharing experiences, going out with friends or preparing lunch or dinner with my family or with my friends too, I love doing sports and especially cycling. In addition to this, I am a vegetarian and I love to try and learn to prepare vegetarian recipes, one of my favorite foods is Neapolitan Pizza and I am very entertaining teaching children to prepare fun desserts and smoothies. I am very excited about the opportunity to get to know you better and be a member of your family. I hope to hear from you! Best wishes, Seleny.

Hello! My name is Gilda. I’m from Chile, but I’ve been living in Melbourne on a working holiday for the past two months. I am a school psychologist currently on a break from working at a primary school in Chile, which has given me experience with children aged 6 months to 14 years old.

I also have experience with special needs, as I work with children who have ASD, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and developmental delays.

Hi I’m Sarah, My daughter is now 22 and has left the nest. I have been in the corporate sector for 15 years, and a private Nanny for the past 10 years and spend my time babysitting family, friends and friends of friends children by word of mouth. I’ve now decided to follow my passion and continue to look after children. I adore children and they are my passion. Not only do I love to look after children, which then in turn helps a family in its entirety, but to watch the children grow and nurture them whilst Mum and Dad are busy is a complete privilege to me. It’s an honour. I always have a smile on my face, am always positive, fun, loving, warm natured and structured. I am extremely punctual and follow Mum and Dads requirements.

I’m most happy to pick up a Monday or assist with casual babysitting on weekends on weeknights or on Mondays. I am most happy to assist with cooking, cleaning, meal/lunch prep, ironing etc. it is my absolute privilege to be able to be apart of your family and I do not take it lightly. I love completing homework and getting outside with the children and exploring what the outside world has to offer and switch off from technology for a while. After school activities are not a problem at all. I have been full time nannying for a family who is now unfortunately moving interstate. The importance of looking after your children is second to none. I believe routine is important, however, fun is too when tasks have been accomplished. I love encouragement, being joyful, empathetic and i am extremely very adaptable to all children’s/young adult needs. I also have experience with children with special needs including autism. To simply put it, I adore children, as our children are our future. And, currently the world we live in we must appreciate our children’s innocence, even if only for a while - without so much technology i might add! ’. I hope to be the person that children have memories of when they are older, just like i do to this very day. Just pure happy memories.
