Hi! My name is Maddie and I am a second year uni student who loves kids and is looking for some adhoc work. I am currently studying a bachelor of nursing and midwifery, as well as working as a swimming instructor in Ivanhoe. I really enjoy working with kids of all ages (have worked with 5 months +) and like having structure around my work. I am looking for a nannying position, that ideally is after school care or weekends. Swim teaching is not my only experience with kids; alongside my own family I have done many babysitting for friends and neighbours, and over the last 4 years been a nanny to a now 6 year old. I have loved watching her grow up into the person she is today. More recently, I have started as mentioned before with a few families doing the school run and helping ease some of the mid-week chaos. I love animals especially dogs and have played musical instruments (flute, piano and percussion) in the past, I also enjoy baking and sports! I also have my drivers license, car, police check, WWCC, first aid and cpr and as fully vaccinated as they get!

I’m a creative and nurturing person with a rich background in both child care and the arts. My journey began as a 15-year-old teaching baby ballet, which sparked a love for supporting children’s growth and self-expression. Over the following years, I cared for two wonderful families during my school years, while also dancing with a ballet company. Since then, I’ve explored a variety of meaningful paths — working in yoga and bathing care industries, completing a degree in Communication Design, and currently serving as a community meditation teacher. I also run events that blend music and the arts to create calming and inspiring spaces for people of all ages. Recently, becoming an aunt has reignited my passion for child care. I find deep joy in supporting children’s natural curiosity and helping create a safe, joyful environment where they can learn, express themselves, and thrive. I bring a calm presence, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility to everything I do. I also love dogs! I'm great with pets and happy to provide pet care as well :)
