Hi, I’m Sarah.

I am a professional private nanny and household manager with over 10 years’ experience as a nanny and 15 years in the corporate sector. I am a mother to a now 23-year-old daughter, who has graduated with honours from Deakin University, allowing me to genuinely empathise with parents and understand children’s developmental needs across all stages.

I have spent the past 8 years nannying long-term for one family, caring for their children from infancy through to school age (now 10, 8, and 4). I supported the children through night routines, childcare and school transitions, extracurricular activities, and major milestones. As the youngest child has now commenced kindergarten/daycare, the family and I have reached a natural and heartfelt transition point.

Alongside this role, I am currently supporting a corporate single father, where my responsibilities include overnight care when required, international travel, and full household support. I am also engaged two days per week with an additional family, working 12-hour days, and pre-booked in weekly batches to support their son on an ongoing basis.

Experience & Duties

My experience extends well beyond childcare and includes:

• Full-time and long-term nannying (0–10 years)

• Household management and running private residences

• Acting as EA support to a corporate single father

• Domestic and international travel with families

• Overnight and sleepover care

• School and activity pick-ups/drop-offs

• Weekend and extended-hour care (including 12-hour shifts)

• Post-hospital care and recovery support

• Creating and implementing educational and developmental activities

• Swimming lessons, gymnastics, homework support

• Cooking for children and families, including specific dietary requirements

• Meal prep, batch cooking, laundry, ironing, cleaning and full household organisation

I am highly organised, punctual, flexible, and calm under pressure, with a strong understanding of discretion and confidentiality, including working under NDAs with high-end families.

Personal Approach

I am warm, nurturing, structured, and gentle, always following parents’ preferences and routines. I strongly believe in open communication and working collaboratively with parents to ensure children receive consistent, high-quality care.

I am equally comfortable supporting single-parent households, understanding the additional flexibility and individual considerations required. I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including autism.

About Me

Outside of work, I enjoy Pilates, spending time with family and friends, and daily walks with my Moodle, Murphy. I am energetic, empathetic, kind, and genuinely love what I do. In over 8 years of professional nannying, I have never once not enjoyed going to work.

To put it simply, I adore children. They are our future, and preserving their innocence, safety, and happiness is something I deeply value. I hope to be someone children remember fondly as they grow older—with warmth, joy, and beautiful memories.
