Nannies in Kensington, VIC

I love working with children and find that I connect with them easily. Growing up down the coast, I’ve always loved being outdoors and getting involved in engaging, hands-on activities. I currently live in Kensington and am about to graduate from my Bachelor of Primary Education at ACU. For the past two years, I’ve worked as a Learning Support Officer supporting students with diverse needs and helping them thrive academically, socially and in their organisational skills. I’m mainly interested in school holiday work but am also available one day a week during term time. I’ve previously worked as a nanny for two wonderful families in Melbourne. One family had two children aged 2 and 4 in Brunswick where I organised daily routines, took them too activities and planned fun outings. The other family had two children aged 4 and 8 where I supported homework, after-school activities and created active, engaging experiences. I also spent time overseas as an Au Pair in Italy, caring for two children aged 4 and 6, supporting their English learning, homework and daily routines. With a Diploma in Event Management, I’m highly organised, dependable and love working in dynamic, people-focused environments.

Hi parents! I’m Nawaal — a nursing student with 3 years of experience caring for kids of all ages, including those with disabilities. I’m energetic, patient and love helping little ones feel safe, supported and happy. WWCC, Police Check, First Aid and NDIS experience included!

I have experience looking after kids from aged 3-12 after school and during their holiday programme. I also do have experience during my placement in kindergarten room age 4-5 and family toddler room age 1-3. I have a passion for childhood education and make sure they grow up in a healthy, inclusive and happy environment

Hi there Mums & Dads.... I am your Mary Poppins!! I currently look after a few families however my calendar has opened for a new family in 2025. I commit to long hour and long term commitment for the year with all of my families. It's important. Currently I cover ages 8 months, 12 months, 2.5 years, 4.5 years and 9 & 11 years olds. I understand the variety of changing developments in children and adapt to these needs. I love children and have looked after them across many stages of my entire life, as a local babysitter since I was 14 years old and up until now as a professional nanny for parents who are doctors, solicitors, engineers, school teachers, marketing specialist and even a CEO. Having a person of a mature age can provide some enormous benefits to both parents and children. I know life well and in very deeply different ways. I have an extensive understanding of the impact a moment or day in time can have on a child. Being there to pick up on these signals is very important. Recognising and sensing these subtle shifts need an awareness that comes with human development, of which I have covered extensively. Keeping a child calm and happy is important and to have skills that remove the stress and anxiety is about the energy from the nanny/babysitter. To become relaxed and connected/engaged with a mature age carer can offer great comfort to any child. The love will always be there. I follow routines and set boundaries, (initiated from the parents) for all children because it creates security and trust with them. I participate in both home and outdoor activities and excursions. I can drive my own car (petrol charges incur) or use any parents' cars. I cover household cleaning (light house work: all things kids mess, upkeep where possible in the laundry area, keep kitchen clean) to take the burden away from parents so they can come home to a cleaner environment than perhaps they left it. This is always discussed in detail for any family because I am not a 'house cleaner' I am a Nanny. I am extremely reliable and punctual to enable all parents to relax knowing I will always be there for them. I look forward to hearing from you. Nanny Clare

I’m a 24-year-old from Hungary who is easy-going, kind, and enjoys spending time with children and seeing the world through their eyes. I’m moving to Australia for a year on a Working Holiday visa, and becoming an Au Pair or nanny feels like the perfect way to start my journey while supporting a family. I’ve worked as a camp counsellor in the United States with children aged 6–13, cared for my younger sister and cousins, and volunteered with a non-profit organization where I organized games, crafts, and activities for kids. These experiences have taught me to be patient, responsible, and adaptable. I can’t wait to bring my positive and caring attitude to your family while exploring life in Australia! :)
