Nannies in Preston, VIC

Hello! I 'm a dedicated childcare professional with over six years of experience creating nurturing and structured environments for children. Over the past six years as a nanny and two years in Outside School Hours Care (OSHC), I have developed a deep understanding of child development and the unique needs of each child. With specialized experience working with autistic and ADHD children and those in foster care, I have experience in providing individualized care, promoting positive behaviours, and fostering emotional growth. I am skilled in implementing tailored routines, sensory activities, and communication strategies that support both learning and emotional well-being. I am patient, creative, and have the ability to adapt in diverse caregiving environments. Outside of work, I enjoy a range of activities such as skateboarding, roller skating, scuba diving, drawing/painting and taking care of a variety of animals such as pet rats, lizards and fish.

Hi! My name is Maddie and I am a second year uni student who loves kids and is looking for some adhoc work. I am currently studying a bachelor of nursing and midwifery, as well as working as a swimming instructor in Ivanhoe. I really enjoy working with kids of all ages (have worked with 5 months +) and like having structure around my work. I am looking for a nannying position, that ideally is after school care or weekends. Swim teaching is not my only experience with kids; alongside my own family I have done many babysitting for friends and neighbours, and over the last 4 years been a nanny to a now 6 year old. I have loved watching her grow up into the person she is today. More recently, I have started as mentioned before with a few families doing the school run and helping ease some of the mid-week chaos. I love animals especially dogs and have played musical instruments (flute, piano and percussion) in the past, I also enjoy baking and sports! I also have my drivers license, car, police check, WWCC, first aid and cpr and as fully vaccinated as they get!

Hi, I’m Sophia! I have flexible availability and 7 years experience of nannying children across a range of ages (6mo - 10yrs). I always love creating fun activities for the children I have look after, doing arts and crafts and reading together, and I have a lot of energy for playtime at the park. I have great relationships with the families I have looked after longterm, and I’m very happy to provide you with parent references. Last year I returned from living in France for 2 years, and I am currently completing a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism. I’m calm, responsible and reliable, and I look forward to meeting your family!

I’m a creative and nurturing person with a rich background in both child care and the arts. My journey began as a 15-year-old teaching baby ballet, which sparked a love for supporting children’s growth and self-expression. Over the following years, I cared for two wonderful families during my school years, while also dancing with a ballet company. Since then, I’ve explored a variety of meaningful paths — working in yoga and bathing care industries, completing a degree in Communication Design, and currently serving as a community meditation teacher. I also run events that blend music and the arts to create calming and inspiring spaces for people of all ages. Recently, becoming an aunt has reignited my passion for child care. I find deep joy in supporting children’s natural curiosity and helping create a safe, joyful environment where they can learn, express themselves, and thrive. I bring a calm presence, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility to everything I do. I also love dogs! I'm great with pets and happy to provide pet care as well :)
