Hello, My name is Jessica, im 26 and from the UK. Before coming to Australia I worked in kindergarten back home. I worked there for 3 years. While working there I completed many safe guarding courses I also did my first aid course. I looked after children from the ages of 3 months up to 5 years before they left for school, however I have had lots of experience with children older than 5 as my brother is 10 years younger than me, and I have lots of nieces and nephews who are 5years + and they are all my best friends. I really miss working with children, it makes me so happy to see children grow and progress physically, emotionally and educationally. I’m fun, warm and friendly, and love to make the children laugh and be silly with them however I’m also very caring and patient so if they need a hug I’m always there, or if they need someone to talk to I’ll always be there for them. I currently waiting for my working with children check. I look forward to speaking to you!

I have worked as a nanny, as a support teacher and as an early stimulator in Argentina. While I was working at a primary school, I also studied psychology and did all my elective subjects and practices in early childhood. Here in Australia, I worked as a nanny many times and have been working as a support teacher at a primary school for more than one year. I love working with children and help them in their development trough out different games and activities. I’m very patient, emphatic and responsible.

Hi, I am a mature, experienced, active, healthy, happy and passionate carer. I have been looking after children since I was 13. I have two grown up children and 3 grandchildren. Currently working as a Nanny. I cook, tidy, sort, organize, cater and personally assist with errands for various families already. Now I am ready to get organised for year ahead. I will have a few days available for a family who has a stable (min.6 mth) work to offer. I have experience with newborns and new mother .I can do some casual work in my spare time, or have permanent work, if it fits my weekly workload. I have kept in touch long term with some of the families who I’ve worked for in the past. I have experience from newborn to teenagers. Lately I have been working with babies a lot... I speak, read and write fluent English and Hungarian,( I can understand a very minimal German .)-- also teach and participate in Hungarian folk-dance two evenings a week. Dancing is a big part of my life, it is a great way to keep fit!! Also love gardening, and spending time on the beach...or riding my bike.. I am a MOTIVATED, EXPERIENCED, CARING, RESPONSIBLE, PATIENT, RELIABLE, person with common sense, and good organizing skills. I have worked with a family with multiple children, and have taken sole care of 3 children under 3 years old, including twins and premature newborns. I love children, and they love me too :-) Would prefer daytime work (available from early morning), but I will be happy to do casual hrs as well. You will be surprised what can be achieved in a few hrs in the morning! I can be very flexible for the right family, as all my references will tell you. Family pets are no problem. I have checkable (GREAT) references for you. Looking forward to hearing from you. ****Thank you, and have a great day :). Maria H

I’m a Bachelor qualified teacher with over 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. Not only am I a dedicated nanny, but I am also passionate about supporting children’s overall well-being, helping them thrive both emotionally and physically. In addition to my teaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Director of a childcare center in Armadale for 4 years, overseeing up to 180 children a day. This role allowed me to gain invaluable experience in managing diverse needs, building strong relationships with both children and their families, and ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for children to learn and grow. My time in this position also gave me significant experience working with challenging behaviors, where I applied tailored strategies to support children and help them navigate their emotions in positive ways. I also run a children's wellbeing company (@balancedbubbs on Instagram), where I focus on nurturing emotional health and resilience. I offer a holistic approach to childcare by integrating wellness support into everyday routines, encouraging children to develop healthy habits that support their long-term well-being. As a qualified children’s yoga teacher, I bring a calming, mindful approach to my work. Through yoga, breathing exercises, and mindfulness techniques, I help children build strength, balance, and emotional resilience. Whether it’s through movement, relaxation, or breathing, I create a positive and peaceful environment where children can feel supported, understood, and empowered. Additionally, I have studies in counseling, which allows me to approach each child’s needs with empathy, offering guidance on emotional and mental well-being in a thoughtful and caring manner. I also offer NDIS support work, providing tailored support to meet specific needs and goals, assisting families in accessing the support required to thrive! If you're looking for someone who can offer not only childcare but also wellness support, emotional guidance, and a mindful approach to living, I’d love to chat! My experience, especially with challenging behaviors, allows me to offer specialized care to children who may need additional support.
