Nannies in West Footscray, VIC

Hello! My name is Freya, and I recently moved to Melbourne from Worcestershire, England. I have always loved working with children, and hope to make a career out of it. I will be starting my teacher training in September to become a primary school teacher. Over the past four years, I've had the pleasure of babysitting my nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends; children, I have had so much fun doing this and it's so lovely to build connections with them and watch them grow. As an active person who loves outdoor activities like walking and running (I'm currently training for my first marathon!), I bring lots of energy and enthusiasm to my care. I'm patient, kind, and a great listener, and I'm excited to create a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable environment for your children!

I am a British, 36 year old, just arrived in Australia on a working holiday visa. I have plenty of years experience working with children, from swim instructing to babysitting. Also previous experience as a house cleaner/housekeeper. Ready to help your family!

Dear Family, Welcome. It is a pleasure to know that you have taken the time to learn a little about my life. To begin with, I was born in Bogotá, Colombia. I am currently studying e-commerce here in the city of Melbourne, on a student visa (subclass 500) that allows me to work outside of school hours and is valid until 2027. My greatest motivation is to fully develop my language skills in English, which is why it would be a privilege for me to work with children. I am a loving, patient, and responsible person, committed to the well-being and safety of the children in my care. I enjoy encouraging creativity, curiosity, and the emotional and intellectual development of children by organizing fun and educational activities. My native language is Spanish, and it would be very fulfilling for me to help children expand their knowledge through my mother tongue. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and stimulating environment where children can thrive and grow. I love playing sports, I am a very active person, and I truly enjoy all kinds of outdoor activities. I am capable of preparing healthy meals and keeping children’s spaces clean, safe, and healthy. I have always had a beautiful connection with children since my younger sister was born. I took care of her for many years while my mother worked. I also had the opportunity to care for my cousins and the children of my relatives. I would be very happy to have the opportunity to become part of your family, share my culture, and learn from yours. I am truly excited about the possibility of contributing with love, dedication, and responsibility to the well-being of your children. It would be an honor for me to work with you and grow together through this experience.

Hello, I am a fully insured, qualified and experienced early childhood and primary school educator. In 2024 I worked at an outback station as a live-in governess teaching and caring for three children under 6 years old full-time. I am skilled at creating imaginative play-based and physical activities for children and helping build their self-confidence and resilience. I believe that being outside and interacting with nature and the community is an important part of childhood development (as is routine and healthy food!) ugh

I’m currently studying Graduate Diploma of Early Childhood Education. I love children and want to make impact in their lives. I have 6 months experience volunteering as a Sunday school teacher in Singapore, nurturing children from age 3-5 years. I hope I can be the perfect fit for the position.

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
