Hola! I'm Maria Fernanda (Mafe) — a kind, creative, and responsible childcare provider from Colombia. I’ve been living in Australia for the past three years and speak both English and Spanish fluently.
I have a background in Business, Advertising, and Marketing, and I'm passionate about helping children grow in a safe, joyful, and nurturing environment.
In addition to working in customer service and floristry, I’ve been working as a nanny for the past six months — a journey that started through word-of-mouth recommendations from friends. I'm now excited to support more local families with care, creativity, and strong organization.
EXPERIENCE:
- Homework Tutor in Colombia: Worked with children from low-income families, offering academic support and emotional encouragement.
- Volunteer at Bible School: Assisted with daily activities for young children, developing strong skills in care, patience, and teaching.
- Family Caregiver: Cared for my cousin Lina from infancy to age 8, including changing nappies, tutoring, and playful learning.
- Strong understanding of early childhood needs – I’ve always loved supporting young minds through learning and creativity.
WHY ME?
I’m an organised and creative person who truly enjoys caring for children. I love using simple routines, to-do lists, and staying on schedule, but I’m also flexible and happy to adapt to each child’s needs.
I enjoy painting, going for nature walks, and telling stories — fun ways to help children learn and enjoy their day. I always bring a calm, positive, and caring energy into the home, and I’d love to support your family with kindness and dedication.
