Nannies in Gardenvale, VIC

Looking for: Full-time, Part-time, Casual Babysitting Hello parents, My name is Tracey, and I am a vibrant, energetic 55-year-old with a lifelong passion for working with children. From an early age, I discovered my love for caring for babies, toddlers, and young kids, starting as a babysitter at 13 in my hometown of Castlemaine. In my 20s, I worked in childcare centres before transitioning into a career as a professional singer, alongside raising two wonderful sons who are now 28 and 20. Over the years, I’ve remained deeply involved in caregiving—helping raise my nieces, babysitting for families, and working in aged care and disability support. For the past two years, I have been a regular babysitter for three children under the age of six, further strengthening my hands-on experience. My Approach to Childcare I strive to create a nurturing, fun, and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and engaged. I believe in the importance of routine, ensuring children are well-rested and happy. I love incorporating creativity and learning into daily activities, whether through reading, music, arts and crafts, puzzles, or imaginative play. With my background in music, I enjoy singing lullabies, teaching songs, and use music as a calming tool. I also have a strong focus on health and well-being—I love cooking nutritious meals (I come from an Italian background and am confident in the kitchen!), and I encourage cleanliness and appropriate dressing for all weather conditions. Light household duties are absolutely fine, as I work best in a clean and organised space. Why Choose Me?

Reference by Emmalee “Absolutely worth her weight in gold! Sez is reliable, loyal and passionate about the care of little ones. She took the best of care of our baby girl from age 13 to 17 months with loads play and educational trips out. There was no doubt in our minds that our child was her number one focus. Excellent communication and highly educated - we could not recommend Sez highly enough! We were so lucky to have found a wonderful nanny straight away (have heard a few horror stories). While our little one is heading off to conventional child care for now, we will definitely still book Sez on the weekends and would love to have her back again for our next little one prior to heading off to childcare. “ I have years of experience , kind and loving nature with high tolerance and peaceful demeanour .
