Hi, my name is Kate and I'm an early childhood educator, primary school teacher and professional nanny. I truely enjoy working with children as they are my passion and have been both a professional nanny and teacher for over 12 years. I’m currently looking after a 1 year old and 3 year old full time and have been with my current family for over 2 years. Before this, I worked as a sole charge nanny for two children under 5 for 2.5 years. Previous to this, I worked for 2 years as a nanny and travel nanny for a lovely family of 5. I have also lived in London working as a teacher and nanny (absolutely loved it). I’m confident in caring for children of all ages but especially love looking after kids under 4 (I find the developmental aspects so interesting). I also have a lot of varied experience with children as I have worked in childcare centres, primary schools and been a nanny for many years. I believe that I am a reliable, warm, patient, fun and kind person and I have the ability to make a child's time away from their parents a fun and enjoyable experience. I love to plan experiences for the children in my care based on their interests, personality, and developmental needs (playgroups, museums, music classes, parks/playgrounds etc). I also aim to build nurturing, trusting and genuine relationships with both the children and families I work with- I am still in contact and close with the families I have been a part of. I have an updated CV and written references if needed. I look forward to hearing from you soon! Note: My rate of pay is negotiable depending on duties required and number of children.

Hi my name is Olivia :) I have been travelling Europe for the past 7 months and got back on the 12th of February and I am now seeking some more employment involving working with children. I have over 4 years of nanny experience. Doing gigs ranging from short to long term help and casual covers Previously to my travels I looked after a gorgeous boy for a year who turned 2 while I was looking after him. I really enjoyed this and had a lovely bond but unfortunately his family moved to Perth. The hours were 8-6pm and I am looking for something similar. Prior to that I nannied casually for a 2 and a half year old boy who I took to the pools often due to my experience with swim teaching (this job was for a few months). Another family of two girls; a 6 month year old and 4 year old who needed my help for 3 months while their old helper was away. A german family who I’ve a good relationship with and nannied for them on two different occasions (a few months stint each time) who stay in Melbourne for a bit to visit family. (They were 6 months and 2 years old the first time and 2 and a half and 4 the following) Before some travels I did in 2022, I looked after a young girl around one years old for 6 months which was also long houred days of 8-5pm. Those two gigs were under an angency called The Reinforcement nannying agency. Which no longer runs. I have been a children's swimming teacher for Elite Swimming where I dealt with a wide range of ages typically (2-13 years old) in group and private situations. Prior to starting nannying 4 years ago i did casual baby sitting for 6+ years for local families where I first gained experience with kids varying ages. I am the second oldest out of four girls and therefore I am very family orientated and have grown up in a household surrounded by other kids which has taught me a lot of valuable skills such as communication and patience. I am currently taking a break from uni, however i was studying a bachelor of science at Monash. I am a very caring, energetic, friendly person who is a reliable, confident, and flexible worker. I believe I have a nurturing nature and genuinely love being around and caring for kids. I love planning activities, playing outside, reading etc. I love being able to watch a child I look after flourish and development into their own unique character. I also am more than happy to help out with cleaning up around the house, preparing meals, bathing etc. A bit about me: I love playing sports (netball and football), being in nature, cooking, listening to music, leading an active lifestyle as well as partaking in spontaneous activities with my friends and always trying and learning new things! I am more than happy to give anymore information required by potential employers and provide parent references. I recently refreshed my first aid, I have a car and have a WWCC. Rates wise: When looking after two children I have typically recieved an additional $5 per hour.

A bit about me. I am composer, vocalist, pianist and producer studying part time and enjoying looking after my 6 month old pup! I have love for nature and animals, as well as working with and caring for children of all ages. As a 34 year old, I have 15 years experience babysitting and nannying. I au paired in Berlin for two years, and have many references upon request! I like to bring joy, kindness, routine and wholesome interactions, limiting the use of screen time where possible and encouraging engagement in play, learning, relaxing and conversation, meeting each individual where they are at with gentleness and respect. Over the years I have stayed with the same families, and have watched incredible little humans become big grown ups! At this point in time, I am finding much more space for opening up to new families to begin the journey with again. 🙂

I am a mature, responsible, fun loving nanny with over eight years experience working with children of various ages. I am not a huge fan of children using devices and prefer to interact with them.

Please contact me if you think I can be of service to you.
