Meet Davinia: A nanny in Prahran, VIC

With over 20 years of experience, I bring a kind, gentle, and nurturing approach to caring for little ones, while maintaining firm boundaries to foster a secure environment. My expertise lies in creating effective sleep routines, ensuring proper child nutrition, and encouraging hands-on/off, child-led educational play that promotes independence and confidence. I focus predominantly on children from newborn to 5 years old.

My journey as a caregiver started early, as I was often entrusted with the care of younger children in my community. While studying in university (sheesh) a long time ago, I took on my first full-time nanny position, caring for four children, including a toddler with disabilities. This experience was not only rewarding but it also shaped my passion for childcare and solidified my career path.

It goes without saying that i wouldnt be the caregiver i am without every single wonderful parent who has brought me into their home and welcomed me to be as prt of the family in one way or another. I have learned so much over my time in childcare and attribute that to the amazing parents- every experience, good and bad have been invaluable when it comes to knowing how to assist you in your early years and providing the best possible care and support. I love what I do and I adore my families and even keep in touch for all those important moments beyond my time with them.

I understand that every family is unique, so I’m open to discussing and negotiating rates to find the right fit, especially for fixed or permanent bookings. Let’s chat and see how I can best support your family!

Note: I am in the process of training another nanny, so will always have a backup on standby.
