Nannies in Petersham, NSW

I’m Elyn, a warm, patient and reliable nanny based in Petersham. With experience as a babysitter, teacher assistant and volunteer in orphanages, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from tiny babies to curious toddlers and school-aged kids. Childcare has always been a meaningful part of my life. I love creating calm, engaging and safe spaces where children feel supported, valued and free to explore. Families describe me as nurturing, responsible and very communicative. My approach is grounded in respect, empathy and positive guidance — always following each child’s rhythm, needs and personality. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education, which helps me bring fresh, development-focused ideas into my work. I’m comfortable with pets and happy to assist with light household tasks to make your day easier. My goal is simple: to care for your little ones with the same love, patience and intention that I would want for my own future children.
