Meet Tiana: A nanny and babysitter in Olinda, VIC

Hey there! If your kiddies want to be around someone who is full of joy and excitement for life, is fun, imaginative, can explore with them and meet them where they are at, I’m your woman. In the years that I have had the honour of learning and growing alongside children, I have realised they are often my biggest teachers and I approach them the same way I choose to learn and grow in life, with open attention, curiosity and love.

Each kid is so unique, and so I choose to not confine my approach to any specific methods or parenting techniques, rather I listen, I observe and grow alongside them, adapting and meeting them where they are at with compassion and understanding. The capacity to which I can hold space for myself and love myself through big emotions and feelings mirrors how I can hold space in challenging times with kids. I am still learning everyday, but through my consistent practise of feldenkrais, meditation, conscious movement somatic practises and dance, my capacity to navigate challenge with patience and ease has grown. I endeavour to pass on my wisdom in a creative and playful way to your kids, so they too can flourish and thrive.

In terms of logistics and my background :

I was an international languages teacher for 2 years overseas teaching from the ages of nursery to high school and nanny for 3 regular families over the last 2 years in Melbourne. I have also looked after children from ages 2-15 up in the sunny coast for the last year. I also have experience with caring for children with disability and diverse needs, mainly children with adhd and autism. I have my license, a car, and am comfortable fitting car seats (car seats would need to be provided).

Please shoot me a message if your interested and I would love to have a chat! 🙂
