Nannies in Harkaway, VIC

As an experienced Babysitter/Nanny, I bring a unique blend of maternal wisdom and professional care developed through raising my own son (now 17) and 27 years of running a successful beauty business. My approach combines nurturing support with gentle structure, creating an environment where children feel both secure and encouraged to grow. Having managed my own business, I understand the importance of reliability, clear communication, and adapting to changing needs—skills I apply to childcare with natural ease. Currently pursuing studies in Western Herbal Medicine, I bring knowledge of holistic wellness and nutrition to support children's overall health. My years of client care have honed my ability to build trusting relationships, while my experience as a mother has taught me patience, understanding, and the joy of supporting a child's development. I offer parents not just childcare, but peace of mind knowing their children are in capable, caring hands while they're away.

I'm 32 years old with over a decade of casual and industry experience. I'm looking for casual or permanent part-time positions. I encourage healthy eating and physical play as a good foundation for happy kids, and am a strong advocate for free range outdoor exploration. I have my full drivers license, an Employment Working With Children Check, and first aid qualifications including CPR, asthma and anaphylaxis. I have a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and I currently work permanent part-time Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in an early learning centre. My rates are $30 an hour, with overnight sitting $35. Caring for toddlers is the bulk of my experience, but I have looked after children of all ages, including newborns and teens. Please note that whilst I have previously done school drop-off/pick-up only jobs, they're not my preference. I enjoy actively engaging with children and planning engaging experiences. I have experience working with large families (5 or more children), children with autism, and chronically ill children. I am fully vaccinated against Covid-19. I'm looking for part-time positions, casual babysitting, and night nanny roles. LGBTQIA+ friendly
