Meet Chris: A nanny in Butler, WA

Profile

I am a calm, reliable, experienced and dedicated nanny with a strong passion for childcare and early childhood development. Originally from the UK, I relocated to Australia in 2011 with my husband and two daughters.

I am currently working with a family and I have happily for the last almost 3 years.

I bring extensive experience caring for babies, toddlers, and young children, creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can thrive. My approach goes beyond supervision—I actively support each child’s cognitive, social, and emotional development through structured routines and age-appropriate activities.

I am proactive in planning educational and creative play, while remaining adaptable to the changing needs of children. I maintain a calm, patient approach under pressure and pride myself on building strong, collaborative relationships with families through clear and consistent communication.

I have also mentored trainees, sharing my knowledge and supporting the development of their childcare skills. My goal is to provide a positive, enriching experience where every child feels safe, valued, and supported.
