My name is Gem and I am a 40 year old toddler mum, with 25+ years experience caring for children. I am a professional nanny who has been working in a variety of carer and domestic support roles for the last 15 years, predominately caring for infants, toddlers and pre-school age children. I have recently completed training to confidently work as a postpartum doula and so happy to work in roles that involve supporting families through the transition of welcoming a new baby.
In addition to childcare, I have extensive experience working in roles that involve home organisation and household management, and happy to flex between care and other domestic support as needed.
I love to work for and alongside families of all presentations and have experience working for rainbow families, solo parents by choice, neurodivergent families, multi-generational householde and families with a variety of backgrounds and cultures.
I am seeking to make connections with families seeking care or support on a Tuesday and/or Thursday either in a short-term or long-term basis. I will also have availability on Mondays and Fridays from Jan 2027. I take bookings for casual babysitting on Monday, Wednesday and Saturdays and Sundays, from 5.30pm
I have extensive experience and am truly passionate about supporting little people and their families. I can provide lots of references, WWCC and up-to-date Child Care setting First Aid and Anaphylaxis + CPR certificates.
I reside in Coburg and service the surrounding suburbs - Bruns, Preston, Northcote, North Fitzroy, North Carlton, Thornbury etc
My personal interests include environmental sustainability, social justice, creative play (for adults and kids alike), art and holistic health.
