Nannies in Prahran, VIC

I worked as a swim teacher for a year and a half before nannying and have now worked as a nanny and have worked as a nanny for 4 years. I have experience caring for children of all ages and personalities, doing housework, preparing dinners and entertaining during school holidays. I am a friendly and fun loving person that loves working with pets and other animals and can’t wait to work with your family. I am very active, love spending time outdoors and doing crafts and artwork. I love to cook and to bake and am more than happy to help around the house with any tasks required of me. I have my own car and license with a perfect driving record. I am capable of helping with homework and providing tutoring services as I achieved high results in my ATAR subjects and am now studying science at Melbourne University. I also have qualifications in first aid and CPR.

Hi, I’m Kerrie, 24, originally from Ireland, and recently moved to Melbourne. Back home, I spent lots of time babysitting for my younger cousins and neighbours, so I’m very comfortable caring for children of all ages. I’m responsible, kind and love getting involved in fun activities like games, crafts and outdoor play. I’m now looking for a new opportunity here in Australia where I can put my experience to good use and become a helpful, positive part of a family’s routine. I’m also happy to help out with light housework and homework if needed. I have an intermediate understanding of Spanish and French, so I’m happy to help kids with language learning either! I am currently nannying for an amazing family on Mondays and Fridays, however I am fully available all other days!

Warm and nurturing Mother of two older teenagers. 15 years experience as a Paediatric Nurse. Adore babies and would love to support your family. I'm more than happy to help with any additional household chores as needed. Look forward to connecting.

My name is Skye, I am 19 years old and currently studying at RMIT. I have recently got back from taking a GAP year at the Dragon School, Oxford, UK. I love being around children and have a fun and caring personality.

I have recently moved to Melbourne from a town called Bournemouth in England. I have around 5 years experience in all different types of care! My most recent full time job back home involved working with children in a residential setting - I was there for almost a year and a half before coming to Australia. I also have an undergraduate degree in psychology and a masters in clinical psychology. I am currently nannying for a lovely family on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. This leaves Mondays and Tuesdays free. I ideally wish to keep my weekends free but am happy to help out occasionally if given some notice. I also have a full Victoria drivers license with access to a work car. I would describe myself as a fun, reliable, and hard-working individual. My hobbies include keeping healthy with pilates and the gym, creative activities such as scrapbooking, cooking, and reading. I am open to trying new activities with the children I look after!

Dear parent, I have 7+ years of experience with kids and I am confident that I am equipped with the necessary skills set that you are looking for. I hold a full driver’s license with a clean record and have my own car. I also hold a valid WWCC, first aid and CPR qualifications. I get along well with kids pretty fast and am committed to building a good relationship with the family. In my previous role, I was a full time nanny (50hrs/week) to a family of 3 kids that involved school + co-curricular activities pick ups and drop-offs, walking the dogs, preparing school lunches and dinner every night, as well as, performing general housekeeping duties such as sweeping/mopping/vacuuming, getting groceries, laundry (washing and folding), handling daily operations of the house such as picking up dry cleaning, post office etc and making sure everything runs smoothly. I have just finished up my role with the family as they’re moving back to Queensland to stay with their grandparents. I am currently looking for work and I will be able to commit to the role long-term. I would love to meet or get on call with you to discuss further or answer any questions you have. I look forward to hearing from you soon :) Kind regards, Sera
