Hi everyone! I'm Chantel, a mum to an energetic 5-year-old boy, and I'm looking to earn a little extra cash. I'm a diploma-qualified childcare educator with over 20 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I hold a current First Aid certificate, Working With Children Check (WWCC), and Anaphylaxis training. Depending on the hours you're after, I may need to bring my son along.

Dear families! My name is Alina and I am a multilingual educator and nanny based in Melbourne. I have qualifications in Languages, Education Support, WWCC, First Aid and children’s safety certifications, and experience working with children in both schools and private care. I speak Italian, Russian, English, Spanish, and French, and I love introducing children to languages naturally through play, games, music, storytelling, creativity, and everyday communication in a fun and relaxed way. I am also currently studying the Interplay approach and attachment-based child development, which helps me create a gentle, emotionally safe, and respectful environment where children can feel understood, confident, and supported.

Hi! My name is Aela. I’m a warm, creative, and reliable person who genuinely loves spending time with children. Growing up in a family of six, I’ve always been surrounded by younger siblings and relatives, so caring for kids has been a natural part of my life. I’ve also done babysitting in the past, and I really enjoy building positive relationships with children and helping them feel happy, safe, and supported.

I'm Emma, a 34-year-old Swedish secondary school teacher with 10+ years of experience with kids and teens. My background covers everything from daycare, after-school care, and working as a nanny/au pair, to private tutoring in French and math. The past six years, I've been balancing teaching at a secondary school while completing my teaching degree. To put it briefly: I've seen it all, yet I still manage to learn something new about kids every day! Outside of childcare and teaching, I've spent many summers working in elderly care and personal assistance. Caring for others is truly my biggest passion as you can tell :) I work as a nanny on Tuesdays already but I’m looking to do more hours on Thursdays or/and Fridays, 4-10h ideally. My previous nanny experience: Two girls in Stockholm (Sweden) (7 and 9 y/o), causal hours combined with tutoring Two kids in South Yarra (7 months and 2 y/o), part time position Two kids in Caulfield (1 and 5 y/o), casual hours Two girls in Aspendale (5 and 7 y/o), part time position Two boys in Stockholm (1 and 5 y/o), full time during summer break Two boys in Angers, France (1 and 5 y/o), pull time aupair position

I am energetic and absolutely love being with little children out, playing, movement, dancing, singing, making food, walks and discovering the little things in our world outdoors. Have been a nanny for 10 years, researched and experienced the early childhood and development field and have completed my Diploma in early childhood in 2018. Even though I explored the early childhood field in childcare centres my delight is in being out and about mostly in nature with kids exploring the local surroundings, bugs, plants, birds, playgrounds etc. Sometimes even a walk when done slowly, just down the street can be amazing. When we stop and notice the scents, sounds and each little thing that is there. I find this to be a favourite of children and I enjoy being in the present moment with them. My background has been in fashion design and at the moment the wellbeing space.

I have experience caring for children of different ages and enjoy creating a safe, fun and positive environment.

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.

I have experience working as an In-Home Care Educator, an Inclusion Support Worker in Kindergartens, and private nannying and babysitting from toddlers to school aged children. I am dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing environment that promotes learning and emotional development and am committed to creating a positive and supportive environment for children to grow, learn and thrive. I am currently studying to be an early childhood and primary school teacher and have recently completed placements in kindergarten and lower primary.

Hi! I’m Ava, and I have over 7 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns through to older kids. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. Along with my nannying and babysitting experience, I’ve also worked with the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency (VACCA), where I helped run a playgroup for children aged 0–6 years. This role strengthened my skills in planning engaging activities, supporting children’s development, and building positive relationships with both children and their families. I’m caring, patient, reliable, and love getting involved in creative play, outdoor activities, reading, and helping with daily routines. I understand the importance of tailoring my care to each child’s individual needs and personality, and I always strive to make children feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a positive, trustworthy, and supportive environment for your little ones!
