Nannies in Banksmeadow, NSW

I am an artist and have worked in the arts for 10 + years. To supplement my income as an artist I have worked as an au pair (in Paris and in Sydney) and have also been a support worker working with artists with disabilities.

Qualified Sleep Consultant, night nanny and 24hr live in baby nanny (Maternity Practitioner). Hi families, I’m Jennifer. I’ve been working with babies, children, and their families for over 24 years, and I still feel just as passionate about it today as I did when I started. Early in my career, I worked as a live-in nanny for families all over the world - sometimes caring for up to five children in one household, from newborns through to teenagers (managing the whole household + all of the children's activities and needs). It was during this time that I discovered my love for working with newborns, then went on to study more about newborn care and sleep consulting. In 2006, I became a fully accredited Maternity Practitioner through the Maternity Nurse Training College at Reading University in the UK. I'm also a qualified Sleep Consultant and Doula. For more than two decades, I have specialised in postnatal care, night nannying, and sleep training for babies aged 0 - 5 years. I’ve had the privilege of living in with thousands of families across more than 60 countries, often supporting them 24/7 during those precious early months. I’ve guided parents through everything from feeding and settling to establishing healthy routines - and in the process, I’ve developed a gentle, hands-on approach that helps even very young babies learn to sleep soundly (often up to 10 hours a night with feeds). This depth of experience has also allowed me to create my own style of sleep training for older babies. My methods are baby-led and flexible - I don’t follow rigid wake windows or strict routines. Instead, I work closely with each family to create a plan that suits their baby’s needs and their parenting style. My programs have supported thousands of families both online and in person, and I currently consult with up to 10 families per week while also continuing to work as a nanny and in-home sleep consultant. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for hundreds of single babies, more than 50 sets of twins, and two sets of triplets. I’ve clocked well over 70,000 hours living in with families, and every experience has taught me something new. Outside of work, I enjoy living a healthy, balanced lifestyle - I love travelling, staying active at the gym, and cooking. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found a meaningful career that allows me to support families during what can often be a stressful time - and help make it feel a little easier.

Hello ! I’m Georgie. I’m 28 and currently shifting my career path, and in the mean time want to reconnect with my passion for working with children. I am available most days and nights—including weekends—and can step in on short notice, whether for a one-off job or a long-term role. Happy to do housework, family admin/housekeeping duties, cooking and cleaning etc. A bit about me; I’ve always really resonated with Einstein’s famous quote, that “everybody is a genius.. but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid..” I strongly believe every child has unique strengths that deserve celebration and encouragement, and often find that my role when caring for kids is to create a nurturing space where creative play, thoughtful conversation, and hands-on activities empower each child to express themselves. Whether we’re building imaginative forts, embarking on art projects, or working through homework, my goal is to help kids build confidence and embrace their individuality in a supportive and fun environment. I place high importance on always respecting and closely following your family culture and values, as well as your personal parenting philosophies. I have my own car (and license of course!), and will happily undergo a police/WWCC if required. References available upon request, too. Happy to answer any questions you may have, and hope to hear from you soon ! :)
