Nannies in Ivanhoe, VIC

Hi everyone. I'm a experienced, reliable career nanny looking for full time work (35 to 40 hours) from August 2025. I have been a nanny for 6 lovely families whilst I've lived in Melbourne, recently working in Northcote full time. I've worked with kids aged 5 months to 12 years old. I'm from Sydney but moved to Melbourne in June 2012. In Sydney I was working as a Teachers Aide at a primary school and also at a Before and After School Care Centre. In my early 20's I did a lot of babysitting. I've completed a Certificate 3 in Youth Work. I've had all my checks done and have a current First Aid certificate. I have great references from my previous nanny families. I'm fun and energetic. I love doing outdoor activities with children and also helping them with numeracy and literacy. I look forward to meeting you and your children. *I'm full vaccinated *

I'm a passionate and dedicated educator currently studying my bachelor's degree, with a love for creating engaging and nurturing environments for children. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on hikes, and exploring nature, as I believe it provides great opportunities for children to learn and grow. Crafting is another passion of mine - I love getting creative and encouraging children to express themselves through art and hands-on activities. With my experience in early childhood education and a calm, child-led approach, I strive to provide meaningful experiences that support each child's unique interests and development.

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?
