Hello! My name is Abbie, I am a qualified Early Childhood educator and Teachers Aide with over 5+ years of experience. I have such a passion for working with children and love to learn and grow with them. I always strive to foster a fun, loving, and safe environment. Over the last year and a half I have been nannying whilst studying for a Bachelor of Psychology and Criminology. I have had the pleasure of working with 3 beautiful families. The children’s ages ranged from 6mnths to 4 years old. Throughout the last 5+ years I have thus gained experience in settling, making bottles, transitioning to solids, changing nappies, helping children reach their milestones and creating age appropriate activities that are fun, safe and loving whilst working with families to ensure their children are under the best care; tailored to their needs. I love taking the children out for adventures to the Zoo, Aquarium and Museum! But we also love creating at home, visiting local parks and exploring our own back yards! I am also happy to help around the house and ensure that the household runs smoothly. I am also happy to provide excellent references.

Hello, I’m a 26-year-old nanny from Bogotá, Colombia. I have a genuine love for children and extensive experience caring for babies and young kids. In Colombia, I worked as a nanny for a 6-month-old baby and truly cherished every moment spent with her. After moving to Melbourne, I continued working as a babysitter with several families: • 2023: Cared for a 3-year-old girl for 2 months. • 2023–2024: Looked after two boys, aged 2 and 5, for 11 months. My responsibilities included preparing their meals, feeding them, playing, taking them to the park, and bathing them. • January–February 2025: Cared for an 18-month-old baby in Melbourne. Duties included preparing and feeding meals, taking him for walks, playing with him, and putting him to sleep. Over the past two years, I’ve worked with more than three families, and the parents are happy to provide references about my work. I’m currently available to start working from August 4th, as I’m on a short holiday at the moment. I now consider myself more of a casual nanny, as I’m pursuing a Master’s degree in Marketing. My university follows a block model, so my schedule changes every month and a half. I typically have most afternoons free, and I don’t attend classes every day — usually only two or three times a week — which gives me a relatively flexible schedule. I am a responsible, caring, and dedicated nanny who always strives to create a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for children. In addition to childcare, I can assist with meal preparation, homework help, and engaging in fun and educational activities. I hold deep respect for parents and the trust they place in me to care for their children. I’m always happy to provide regular updates on their well-being and daily activities. If you’re looking for a reliable, warm, and experienced nanny, please feel free to reach out. I’d love to support your family, and I’m confident your little ones will be in good hands with me.
