Hi! My name is Ellie, I’m 26 years old and from the UK. I’ve been working with kids for about 10 years in various settings. I’ve worked as a nanny for 3 children ages 10, 7 and 4. I’ve worked on a summer camp in the US, as a science technician in a high school and as a tutor! I have 10 years of experience as a disability support worker at a charity for children with disabilities and privately for a couple of families. I love working with kids, it’s been so rewarding watching the children grow and supporting them and their families. I’m friendly, responsible and reliable. I’m also the eldest of 6 children so I’m used to a busy house and a bit of chaos at times!

I am mature aged, having raised two children l am looking for babysitting work. Happy with pets, household chores and cleaning. I am caring, responsible and trustworthy. I work in the medical education sector and have volunteered over 10 years with a major children’s charity. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hello there! A little about me: I’m a compassionate, friendly, and caring person who is responsible and patient. I have a high spirit and a passion for life, remaining optimistic at all times. I am determined and confident in my abilities. Helping children grow in a healthy, happy, and safe environment is very important to me and comes naturally. I believe in educating children about right and wrong, as well as instilling great manners, which I encourage strongly. I have worked for many families in Australia and overseas, and I have also raised my own four children, including a set of twins, who are now wonderful young adults—educated, intelligent, and well-respected individuals (though I may be biased!). Throughout my many years of experience, I have cared for over a dozen families and have also worked with children who are hard of hearing, autistic, or battling leukemia. In addition to childcare, I do light housekeeping, including cooking and baking, which I truly enjoy, although it depends on the time available. I’m happy to assist with all ages of children; they are all lovely and unique in their own ways, and each presents its own delightful challenges. My previous occupations, aside from being a nanny, include laboratory assistant, fitness instructor, hospitality worker, caterer, receptionist, retail manager, administration officer, and integration aide. Although I am 58 years old, I am full of energy, fit, and healthy, and I embrace a healthy lifestyle, which keeps my outlook on life youthful! I have excellent references from previous and current employers who can verify my experience and work ethic as a nanny and educator. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss your family's needs. I look forward to hearing from you! Many thanks, Maria 😊

Hey! My name is Nina, and I’m a bubbly, friendly first-year university student with over five years of babysitting experience. As the oldest of five siblings, much younger than me I naturally stepped into a caretaker role early on, which sparked my passion for working with children. I began babysitting for other families at 15, and since then, I’ve cared for kids of all ages, personalities, and needs. Whether it’s helping with homework, organising creative games, or simply being a supportive presence, I strive to create a positive and engaging environment for every child in my care. I am certified in first aid, which gives me- and the families I work with peace of mind knowing that safety is always a top priority. I believe that imaginative play is essential for children’s development, so I love bringing creativity into our time together, from arts and crafts to make-believe adventures. understand the trust families place in their nannies, and I am committed to providing reliable, nurturing, and attentive care.

Hello! My name is Susannah and I am 31 years old currently living in Fitzroy, Melbourne. I have worked in Early Childhood Education for a couple of years now, first beginning in the Kinder space before moving into the Nursery with the little ones. In spite of there being some challenging days, I love the work that I do in being able to enrich the lives and learning experiences of the kids that I work with. To work with the pre-toddler age is just such a lovely time in a child's development where there is just so much happening, and its such a joy to watch. Outside of work, I have a great love for music and I love expanding my music library. Art and design are very important to me, and I strongly believe there is beauty in everything in our world, so I spend a lot of my spare time seeking out beauty and awe in my days. I aim to take pride in everything that I do, and to look out to help others wherever I can. My other great love is food, with a focus on using healthy plant-based ingredients. Coming from a large family along with my background in early childcare education, I have grown up to love, care and nurture for children of all different stages of life and find so much fascination in each stage.
