Hi! I'm Rose, I've just graduated from Melbourne University with a degree in Fine Arts. I've been working in the childcare industry for many years now, having nannied and babysat since I was in high school. My work with children has also allowed me to spend a year as a gymnastics coach at Footscray. My experience in these areas means I'm ready to help in all areas of household chores and activities. I can help prepare meals for the family and tend to laundry and other cleaning needs. I also have my license and would be able to do pick up and drop offs, as well as extracurriculars. Having just completed a degree in a creative field I would love to have the opportunity to create engaging outlets using these skill-set, as well as help with homework needs.

Hello! I’m a fun, caring, professional with 20years experience working with children of all ages. I’m currently a special needs teacher and looking for work through the holidays as well as weekend/evening casual work.

Hi, my name is Alicia Lomen. I’m 18 years old and currently studying a Bachelor of Nursing. I’m just finishing up my first semester, which means I’ll have full availability over the next two months. Once university resumes for Semester 2, I’ll be attending classes two days a week, allowing for continued flexibility. I’ve always been someone who naturally connects with children. Family and friends often comment on how well I interact with kids, and I’ve had plenty of hands on experience caring for my younger sister and friends’ younger siblings. I’m patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, engaging environment for children to have fun. My nursing course has also taught me how to be calm and attentive approach, especially when it comes to wellbeing and care.

Hi my name is Megan, I’m 31. I’m a full time Registered Nurse for a private hospital in the city. Before I became a nurse, I cared for children between the ages of 6 months-10+ years. I have also been a housekeeper at a B&B, so I’m happy to do some housework too. I love interacting with kids and my priority is making sure that they are happy and safe. When I did child minding in the past, I liked to take them out to playgrounds, cafes, The Melbourne Museum, Aquarium, Melbourne Zoo, and story time at the local library. I also liked to do at home activities like cooking and craft, as well as assisting with learning e.g reading, writing, spelling etc. Although I work full time, it’s only 3-4 days a week so I have some spare availability. Unfortunately my job is shift work, so I cannot commit to specific days at the moment. I have my own car, so happy to drive to where I need to be. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there Mums & Dads.... I am your Mary Poppins!! I currently look after a few families however my calendar has opened for a new family in 2025. I commit to long hour and long term commitment for the year with all of my families. It's important. Currently I cover ages 8 months, 12 months, 2.5 years, 4.5 years and 9 & 11 years olds. I understand the variety of changing developments in children and adapt to these needs. I love children and have looked after them across many stages of my entire life, as a local babysitter since I was 14 years old and up until now as a professional nanny for parents who are doctors, solicitors, engineers, school teachers, marketing specialist and even a CEO. Having a person of a mature age can provide some enormous benefits to both parents and children. I know life well and in very deeply different ways. I have an extensive understanding of the impact a moment or day in time can have on a child. Being there to pick up on these signals is very important. Recognising and sensing these subtle shifts need an awareness that comes with human development, of which I have covered extensively. Keeping a child calm and happy is important and to have skills that remove the stress and anxiety is about the energy from the nanny/babysitter. To become relaxed and connected/engaged with a mature age carer can offer great comfort to any child. The love will always be there. I follow routines and set boundaries, (initiated from the parents) for all children because it creates security and trust with them. I participate in both home and outdoor activities and excursions. I can drive my own car (petrol charges incur) or use any parents' cars. I cover household cleaning (light house work: all things kids mess, upkeep where possible in the laundry area, keep kitchen clean) to take the burden away from parents so they can come home to a cleaner environment than perhaps they left it. This is always discussed in detail for any family because I am not a 'house cleaner' I am a Nanny. I am extremely reliable and punctual to enable all parents to relax knowing I will always be there for them. I look forward to hearing from you. Nanny Clare

Hi! I’m currently in my second year at RMIT, studying a double degree in Civil Engineering and Business. I’ve always had a strong passion for working with kids and teens. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience babysitting toddlers through to teenagers for a number of families, which has helped me develop a calm, patient, and adaptable approach to caregiving. In addition to regular babysitting, I’ve completed placements at daycares and have grown up as an older sibling to a brother more than five years younger than me. I also have an older sister with special needs, which has given me a lifelong understanding of the importance of tailored care and support. Outside of this, I’ve been actively involved in youth-focused organisations, including the Australian Air Force Cadets, and I’ve coached netball and volleyball for youth teams. These experiences have strengthened my leadership, communication, and nurturing skills when working with children of all ages.

I am a nursing student who is affectionate, caring and empathetic. As I was the eldest daughter of my joint family, taking care of others comes naturally to come. I grew up taking care of younger siblings, so working around children makes me feel like home. Working as a nanny made me organised, a great planner and communicator.When I was in school, loved to participate in art and recreation activities and have studied children's health as one my electives in nursing. My mother was a teacher, teaching and learning was something I got from her and really enthusiastic about it as well.
