Hi! My name is Hannah and I have recently graduated from Firbank Grammar School in 2025. I have a genuine passion for working with children and bring extensive experience in childcare, including previous nannying roles and regular babysitting for families in my local area. I have also coached an under-13 girls netball team for the past five years, which has helped me develop strong communication, leadership and responsibility skills. I am reliable, friendly and caring and I always strive to create a fun, safe and supportive environment for the children in my care.

I am a reliable, caring, and experienced babysitter with over eight years of childcare experience supporting multiple families. My background includes working as a children's entertainer (party princess), a swimming instructor at KingSwim, and providing care for children with diverse needs, including children with special needs. As a former party princess, I am equipped with a range of engaging craft activities, games, storytelling skills, and fun party tricks to keep children entertained while encouraging creativity and confidence. These roles have helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and adaptability. I have a flexible schedule and am available for both casual and ongoing employment.

Hey families, My name is Marnie, and I'm 35, and I have over 19 years of experience in teaching, childcare and nannying and find these roles both professionally rewarding as well as consistent with my personal values. In addition, I have a Bachelor of Education (Primary), Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, and a Certificate 3 in Children's Services. Over the past four years, I have been a classroom teacher at a primary school in Brighton East. My role as a teacher has encompassed various aspects of children’s academic, social, and emotional growth. Being a teacher is incredibly rewarding. Not only do you see students’ growth and progress academically, but you can build connections, make a meaningful difference and leave a long-lasting impact on these students' lives. I have a deep understanding of child development, learning styles, and age-appropriate activities. This knowledge allowed me to create engaging and educational experiences for children in my care. I have experience in managing various classrooms and working with diverse groups of students honing my ability to handle different behaviours and adapt to individual needs, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children I care for. But there is one thing I truly miss, caring for children in their home. Being that person in a household who is spreading kindness, care, and support. Before becoming a primary school teacher, I was a nanny. I have worked for several families within Australia and internationally (USA and Canada). My responsibilities included caring for newborn twins, and older children, following routines (including sleep patterns, feeding, and bathing), assisting with household cleaning, driving children to and from after-school activities, assisting with homework, and maintaining close communication with parents. Whilst I was studying for my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, where I was successful in gaining a scholarship through Swinburne University of Technology, to go to Vietnam. During this visit, I was volunteering in Hanoi, teaching English to prep-aged children. It was a fantastic experience and extended my childcare experience, as well as providing learning experiences in another culture, and participating in their usual day-to-day life activities. Prior to this experience, I was a nanny in America. This position involved living-in with a family in New Jersey, USA where I cared for their two children (girls now aged 4 and 8). Living full-time in the family house meant that it was important that my approach and behaviours aligned with the rules and principles of the family. I've also taken on additional roles working with children, such as a Ski Instructor at Mt Buller Ski Resort and an Assistant Educator at Explorer’s Early Learning Centre. These positions showcase my proficiency and professionalism in the field. I have a mature, responsible, and professional way of caring for children and I pride myself on creating a positive, happy environment in which children can thrive. As I'm a primary school teacher, I would not be able to start exactly at 3:30 pm, as that's when our school day ends. However, depending on where you're located, I could get there by 3:45-4:00 pm on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. We have meetings on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I wouldn't be able to start until 5:00 pm.

Hi, I’m Ellie. I’m 22 and based in Elsternwick. I’m an experienced nanny who has worked with multiple families over the years, mainly with children aged 1–3. I’m currently working with a few families. At the moment I am looking for more afternoon/night work. If you're looking for an occasional or regular night off please get in touch! I have a Certificate in Early Childhood Education and Care, with placement experience in a daycare setting. I have worked as a swimming instructor, teaching all age groups, including babies from 12 weeks old. I’m enthusiastic, reliable, and genuinely love working with children. I prioritise safety while creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that support each child’s growth. I have a strong interest in early childhood development and find it incredibly rewarding to help children build skills, confidence, and independence. My approach is centred around patience and kindness, with clear and consistent boundaries. I aim to support children through their emotions in a calm and understanding way, using redirection and age-appropriate communication to guide behaviour. I focus on meeting children where they’re at, adjusting my approach to keep things positive, engaging, and supportive. Whilst teaching them building blocks to support themselves independently. I’m very creative and enjoy designing activities that align with each child’s interests while encouraging learning and development. This often looks like messages taught with their favourite characters, or hands on activities focused on cause and effect. With babies, I place a strong emphasis on communication and interaction, as this plays a key role in early language development. This tends to look like narrating what they are looking at and linking them with key words: soft/big/far/up I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family Feel free to message me directly - 0491612864
