Nannies in Merricks, VIC

With over 20 years’ experience as a Birth and Postpartum Doula, Nanny, Night Nanny, and mother of three, I offer calm, expert, and deeply nurturing care for families during those precious first months of life. Specialising in babies aged 0–24 months and toddlers, I provide everything from settling, feeding, and sleep rhythm support to emotional reassurance and practical education for new parents. My approach is intuitive, grounded, and always tailored to meet the unique needs of each family. Whether you’re seeking overnight care to catch up on rest or gentle daytime support to navigate the early months, I bring a steady, compassionate presence and a deep understanding of what both babies and parents need to feel safe, held, and supported. I hold current First Aid certification (including infant CPR), a valid Working With Children Check, and have received glowing reviews from both doula clients and nannying families. While I’m based in Red Hill, I’m available to travel across Melbourne and beyond, with my own transport and a flexible, reliable approach.

I am a compassionate, organized, and a hardworking professional, with significant experience in the childcare industry. I have over 10 years experience as both a nanny and childcare worker in the past and current kinder teacher My career to date has given me the opportunity to work with various families, where I gained vital skills that were transferable across each family I worked with. Throughout my 10 years of childcare I have been able to gain skills and knowledge and build memorable relationships with families. As a people person by nature, I thrive off the relationships I am able to cultivate with not only the children, but the parents as well. I find immense gratification in my field of work, and eagerly await the opportunity to hit the ground running in the next chapter of my career.

Hi my name is Georgia and I have a diploma in early childhood education and have been working in childcare for approximately four years whilst also babysitting in my spare time.

I’m an experienced nanny and childcare worker with over 20 years in the industry, as well as a proud mum myself—so I truly understand the complexities of family life. I’m currently looking for 1-2 days a week and would love to find the right family to support. I have a Diploma in Counselling, a Graduate Certificate in Family Violence and diploma in Auslan, along with great references, first aid certification, a police check, a Working with Children’s Check and my own car. I’ve cared for families with up to four children, including one with two sets of twins (6 months and 2 years old!)—so I have no problem managing chaos and juggling multiple things at once! As a nanny, I bring energy, warmth, and fun to every day. I love being outdoors, dancing and singing to music, and taking trips to the beach or on little adventures (train rides are always a hit!). Sometimes, the best moments are the simplest—watching birds fly by, playing in the dirt, or just being in the moment with little ones. I’ve worked with many families over the years, and I truly believe that great communication is the key to a successful nanny-family relationship. I’d love to connect and see if we’re the right fit—looking forward to hearing from you!

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.
