I have been working with children since I was 17 as a private childminder. I also have my Bachelor Honors Degree in Social Care Practice and have worked previously in Children's Homes. I enjoy art and crafts and find creating games with the kids a great way to bond. I enjoy working with Children and am looking forward to getting to know your little ones! I have worked with kids of all ages so am comfortable with all parameters. I don't have a car but am happy to help with morning routines and school drop off/ pick up via public transport if required. Please don't hesitate to message and ask for any further information. I look forward to hearing from you 😊

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

Dear Parents, I am an experienced nanny who has had the privilege of growing up in a large family with many children.

Over the past few years, I have built a strong foundation in childcare through roles as a teacher, au pair, and nanny. One of the unique aspects I bring to the table is my proficiency in multiple languages as a foreigner.

Having children around me brings me immense joy, and this love for their company has been a driving force in my career choices. For the past two years, I have had the privilege of serving as a dedicated nanny to three families, including toddlers and newborns. This experience has equipped me with the skills and patience needed to ensure the well-being and development of your precious little ones. Reliability is at the core of my work ethic, and I take pride in being a dependable caregiver. As a nanny, I understand that parents often have busy lives, and I am here to assist you by taking some of the responsibilities off your plate, allowing you to focus on other important aspects of your life. In summary, I am a dedicated and experienced professional who is passionate about childcare and education. I bring a wealth of experience, multilingual skills, and a nurturing nature to create a safe and enriching environment for your children. I would be honored to join your family and contribute to your child's growth and happiness. Thank you for considering me as a potential caregiver for your loved ones. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can meet your family's specific needs and expectations.

Hi I am Mila!! I am studying a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) Honours and a Bachelor of Arts at Monash Uni. I am currently working as a swim coach at the St Kilda Sea Baths. I teach tiny little babies to swim through a lot of singing, learn to swim classes aswell as adults and squads. I also coach netball at Wesley College. I have worked with professionally for 4 years now but have always been babysitting through my teen years. My experience has allowed me to bring empathy, patience and understanding to every situation I am in. Outside of work and school I absolutely love to read, bake, spend time with my friends especially if it involves travelling to a beach down the Great Ocean Rd or the Peninsula, finding live music to listen to, playing heaps of sport including AFL, netball and swimming and travelling the world. I love to be busy and fill my days learning from others. From the ages of 3-13 my family had either an au pair or a nanny. I understand the impact it can have when someone goes above and beyond to put some extra thought, time and care into helping a family. I can’t wait to meet your family! ✅WWCC ✅Police Check ✅CPR Certification ✅First Aid
