Meet Jae: A nanny and babysitter in Coburg, VIC

I wear many hats, a Nanny being one of them. I love little people and they tend to like me; perhaps because I am naturally inclined to give them active attention. By trade I was a registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner (Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine) and masseuse but changed gears and am now close to being a qualified kindergarten teacher.

I love cooking/baking and have a work history in commercial kitchens. It gives me pleasure to feed vegetables to little people; even the ones who need invisible veges in order to achieve this with enjoyment! Before I was engaged in the health field, I was a visual artist (I studied at the VCA) and love being crafty with kids. I am not great at TV but I am good at play doH, painting and dancing. I have worked with Bec's Treehouse Artschool facilitating children's art and craft workshops and facepainting.

I have cared for up to three children at once in private homes and have completed placement at two Brunswick kindergartens and a bush kindy with Eco Explorers. I love being with children on Country.

I always clean up as I go and help with basic home chores like washing when possible but your child's safety and happiness is my first priority. I am comfortable caring for children and babes of all ages, from birth and beyond. I volunteered as a doula as I am generally passionate about the miracle of life and making the transition as peaceful as possible for Mum, bub and the whole family. I am very happy to care for siblings in a birth situation. I have also worked with children with complex needs and disabiliites through Interchange Outer East.
