Nannies in Thornbury, VIC

I am a bright, bubbly and energetic nanny who enjoys watching the children I work with grow, learn and understand the world around them. I have worked as a nanny for close to 7 yrs and throughout the home-schooling period of 2020. I have worked with children from 4 months to 12 yrs helping their families across lighthouse work, early childhood and primary school education (homeschooling), attending extracurricular activities as well as providing engaging at home and public entertainment- from crafts to big trips to the zoo. Please reach out if I may be able to help you support your family.

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 :)

Hi my name is Olivia :) I have been travelling Europe for the past 7 months and got back on the 12th of February and I am now seeking some more employment involving working with children. I have over 4 years of nanny experience. Doing gigs ranging from short to long term help and casual covers Previously to my travels I looked after a gorgeous boy for a year who turned 2 while I was looking after him. I really enjoyed this and had a lovely bond but unfortunately his family moved to Perth. The hours were 8-6pm and I am looking for something similar. Prior to that I nannied casually for a 2 and a half year old boy who I took to the pools often due to my experience with swim teaching (this job was for a few months). Another family of two girls; a 6 month year old and 4 year old who needed my help for 3 months while their old helper was away. A german family who I’ve a good relationship with and nannied for them on two different occasions (a few months stint each time) who stay in Melbourne for a bit to visit family. (They were 6 months and 2 years old the first time and 2 and a half and 4 the following) Before some travels I did in 2022, I looked after a young girl around one years old for 6 months which was also long houred days of 8-5pm. Those two gigs were under an angency called The Reinforcement nannying agency. Which no longer runs. I have been a children's swimming teacher for Elite Swimming where I dealt with a wide range of ages typically (2-13 years old) in group and private situations. Prior to starting nannying 4 years ago i did casual baby sitting for 6+ years for local families where I first gained experience with kids varying ages. I am the second oldest out of four girls and therefore I am very family orientated and have grown up in a household surrounded by other kids which has taught me a lot of valuable skills such as communication and patience. I am currently taking a break from uni, however i was studying a bachelor of science at Monash. I am a very caring, energetic, friendly person who is a reliable, confident, and flexible worker. I believe I have a nurturing nature and genuinely love being around and caring for kids. I love planning activities, playing outside, reading etc. I love being able to watch a child I look after flourish and development into their own unique character. I also am more than happy to help out with cleaning up around the house, preparing meals, bathing etc. A bit about me: I love playing sports (netball and football), being in nature, cooking, listening to music, leading an active lifestyle as well as partaking in spontaneous activities with my friends and always trying and learning new things! I am more than happy to give anymore information required by potential employers and provide parent references. I recently refreshed my first aid, I have a car and have a WWCC. Rates wise: When looking after two children I have typically recieved an additional $5 per hour.
