Hi, I’m Ellie. I’m 22 and based in Elsternwick. I’m an experienced nanny who has worked with multiple families over the years, mainly with children aged 1–3. I’m currently working with a few families. At the moment I am looking for more afternoon/night work. If you're looking for an occasional or regular night off please get in touch! I have a Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care, with placement experience in a daycare setting.

I prioritise safety while creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that support each child’s growth. I have a strong interest in early childhood development and find it incredibly rewarding to help children build skills, confidence, and independence. My approach is centred around patience and kindness, with clear and consistent boundaries. I aim to support children through their emotions in a calm and understanding way, using redirection and age-appropriate communication to guide behaviour. I focus on meeting children where they’re at, adjusting my approach to keep things positive, engaging, and supportive. Whilst teaching them building blocks to support themselves independently. I’m very creative and enjoy designing activities that align with each child’s interests while encouraging learning and development. This often looks like messages taught with their favourite characters, or hands on activities focused on cause and effect. With babies, I place a strong emphasis on communication and interaction, as this plays a key role in early language development. This tends to look like narrating what they are looking at and linking them with key words: soft/big/far/up I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family Feel free to message me directly - 0491612864

Hii my name is Lexi and I am an 18 year-old student studying at Monash, who just finished year 12 at Firbank Grammar, with a passion and love for working with children, developed through both babysitting for over 3 years and my role as a swim school teacher at Starfish Swim School for over 2 years! I have experience working with children ages 2 - 13 (making meals, driving kids around, helping bathe and shower etc) as-well as taking part in household chores! I bring a bubbly, warm personality that helps children feel safe, comfortable, and engaged, I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs.

I'm an experienced nanny with a calm, professional approach. I am about to complete 9 months with my current family who I have been with since the twins were born. They are moving interstate so the role is coming to a natural end. I have secured a role nannying for Thursdays and Fridays but could potentially be free on Monday and/or Wednesday for a local role in Brighton. Apart from my current experience, I worked both as a live-in and live-out nanny in the UK, where I formed close, lasting relationships with the families and children in my care. I've also raised two children of my own, who are now young adults. Having been a working parent myself, I understand first-hand how much it matters to have a nanny who is reliable, consistent, and works in genuine partnership with the family. I take routines and parenting preferences seriously and bring both warmth and good judgment to everything I do. Earlier in my career I worked in complex HR roles, which has given me strong communication skills, discretion, and the ability to handle whatever a day throws at me with a level head. I have chosen to return to nannying because I genuinely enjoy working with children and supporting families. I hold a current Working with Children Check, a completed police check, up-to-date first aid certification, and am happy to provide references. We share our home with a border collie/golden retriever cross and a cat, so I'm very comfortable around pets and completely at ease in homes where animals are part of the family.
