Nannies in Elsternwick, VIC

Hi there, I am 43 and English is my first language. I have a Certificate IV in Education Support and a Certificate IV in Disability Support. Since the age of 14 I have supported family’s from infants to primary school age. I have a patient, kind and cheerful approach to things and absolutely enjoy being the beneficiary of meaningful interactions with children and others. My hobbies include; tennis, archery, sewing, knitting, cross-words, reading, card games and hiking.

I have taken my company's redundancy program, ending my employment last July 2024. This is a big reset for me (knowing that my circumstance , now with an older daughter who is already independent)have changed. I have done my 5 months calming down, have few volunteer works in line, and still have a lot of energy at 52 years old to do more and be active. Although I have no professional baby-sitting experience in my resume, I have to say I love being around children, and am proud to have cared for my daughter , and have helped raised and cared for a niece and a nephew. I like doing my domestic chores (a household of 3) from cleaning, gardening, vacuuming, ironing/laundry, cooking, bedroom grooming, and will be comfortable doing these for a job, on top of caring for the baby/children as a priority, with care and respect. I have a very reliable car, have been driving for the last 25 years(with a clean record), and I have a current Working With Children Certificate (WWC) as a volunteer. IIf it helps with my application, I am willing to go for a baby sitting trial even without pay if it helps. I am up for an interview and suggested trial as i understand the importance of blending well with the dynamics of your family life style/work/domestic requirements. I hope to hear from your soon.

I’m a conscientious, passionate, and driven individual with over 10 years of experience caring for children aged 4+ months to 13 years. Working as a nanny and babysitter has been such a rewarding journey, allowing me to form meaningful connections with families and support children as they grow and thrive. From soothing newborns to engaging curious toddlers and supporting school aged kids with their routines, I’ve had the privilege of adapting to the unique needs of each child I’ve worked with. Along the way, I’ve developed creative ways to keep little ones entertained, from fun educational activities to hands on arts and crafts projects. My background also includes a diploma in professional education, as well as experience assisting in kindergartens and primary schools. These roles helped me build a strong foundation in creating safe and nurturing learning environments. Beyond childcare, I’m always happy to lend a helping hand to parents by tackling household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and laundry. I love making a positive difference in busy families’ lives, whether it’s giving parents peace of mind or adding joy and structure to children’s days. Being around kids inspires me every day, and I’m always looking for new ways to connect, support, and help them shine.

Hey families, My name is Marnie, and I'm 33, I have over 18 years of experience in teaching, childcare and nannying and find these roles both professionally rewarding as well as consistent with my personal values. In addition, I have a Bachelor of Education (Primary), Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, and a Certificate 3 in Children's Services. Over the past four years, I have been a classroom teacher at a primary school in Brighton East. My role as a teacher has encompassed various aspects of children’s academic, social, and emotional growth. Being a teacher is incredibly rewarding. Not only do you see students’ growth and progress academically, but you can build connections, make a meaningful difference and leave a long-lasting impact on these students' lives. I have a deep understanding of child development, learning styles, and age-appropriate activities. This knowledge allowed me to create engaging and educational experiences for children in my care. I have experience in managing various classrooms and working with diverse groups of students honing my ability to handle different behaviours and adapt to individual needs, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children I care for. But there is one thing I truly miss, caring for children in their home. Being that person in a household who is spreading kindness, care, and support. Before becoming a primary school teacher, I was a nanny. I have worked for several families within Australia and internationally (USA and Canada). My responsibilities included caring for newborn twins, and older children, following routines (including sleep patterns, feeding, and bathing), assisting with household cleaning, driving children to and from after-school activities, assisting with homework, and maintaining close communication with parents. Whilst I was studying for my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, where I was successful in gaining a scholarship through Swinburne University of Technology, to go to Vietnam. During this visit, I was volunteering in Hanoi, teaching English to prep-aged children. It was a fantastic experience and extended my childcare experience, as well as providing learning experiences in another culture, and participating in their usual day-to-day life activities. Prior to this experience, I was a nanny in America. This position involved living-in with a family in New Jersey, USA where I cared for their two children (girls now aged 4 and 8). Living full-time in the family house meant that it was important that my approach and behaviours aligned with the rules and principles of the family. I've also taken on additional roles working with children, such as a Ski Instructor at Mt Buller Ski Resort and an Assistant Educator at Explorer’s Early Learning Centre. These positions showcase my proficiency and professionalism in the field. I have a mature, responsible, and professional way of caring for children and I pride myself on creating a positive, happy environment in which children can thrive. My price per hour is negotiable ◡̈

I am also one of six kids in my own family! I have a Bachelor of Communications and Public Relations from RMIT, fully licensed driver with a car, non smoker, have my WWCC, first aid and love cooking and the outdoors. A typical day with the children would usually involve the outdoors (weather permitting) getting some fresh air at various parks, story time at the library, reading, play and rest time at home and baking as a fun activity. At the moment I am available for casual week day babysitting (I am currently on leave) weekend days and night time babysitting as I work full time.
