Hi! I’m Maria Fernanda (Mafe) a kind, responsible, and caring childcare provider originally from Colombia. I’ve been living in Australia for almost four years and speak English and Spanish fluently.
I have over one year of hands‑on experience caring for children of different ages and truly enjoy supporting them in a safe, calm, and nurturing environment. I’m patient, attentive, and naturally warm, and I love creating days that feel structured but still fun and relaxed for children.
Over the past year, I’ve worked with several families through word‑of‑mouth recommendations, helping with daily routines such as playtime, meals, homework support, bath time, and bedtime. I’m now looking forward to supporting more local families on an ongoing or casual basis.
Experience:
- Nanny / Babysitter (Australia): Ongoing care for children aged 5 to 11 years, including homework support, playtime, meals, and daily routines.
-Family Caregiver: Long‑term care for my cousin from infancy to age 8, including nappies, feeding, learning activities, and consistent daily routines.
-Homework Tutor (Colombia): Academic support and emotional encouragement for primary‑school children.
-Volunteer – Children’s Programs: Assisted with activities for young children, focusing on care, engagement, and supervision.
Why choose me?
I’m organised, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I like keeping simple routines and structure, while staying flexible to each child’s personality and needs.
I enjoy painting, storytelling, and nature walks, and I use these activities to encourage creativity, curiosity, and calm play. I always bring a positive, caring energy into the home and treat every child with patience and respect.
