Nannies in Sunshine Coast, QLD

I have a Social Science Degree (majoring in social welfare) & I also have a Diploma in Community Welfare Work, a current First Aid Certificate & a Blue Card. I have my own car, an open drivers license & of course I adore children & I am very competent with babies, twins including newborns & I'm happy to do a double up with friends or other family members, depending on how many children & their ages. I am a mum & my daughter has her own young children, so I am also just Nana to my adorable grandchildren. I am available on the weekends to babysit, I just require prior notice & if possible, I do like to meet the children before I babysit. I feel that this makes everyone much more comfortable & gives you, the parent, peace of mind. Otherwise, I am happy to arrive at least 15mins early to allow some time to meet & play with the children before you leave. I've completed a Diploma in Early Childhood Education & Care & I worked for 9 yrs as the Lead Educator in all the rooms from 6weeks to 6 years. I currently work in before & after school care program with school age children. Please Note: I charge $30 per hour as this rate ensures I cover my fuel since the fuel increase thanks Deb.

I am a professional architect, but my true passion lies in teaching and working with children. This passion led me to teach private English lessons to children for three years in Chile. I can also teach Spanish and help with schoolwork. I am very creative and engaging. I am also skilled in singing and crafts, which allows me to organize entertaining activities. In addition, I can take the children to the park and play with them. I am patient, empathetic, and approachable. I can also prepare healthy snacks, and I have a driver’s. Moreover, I can help with light household tasks. I have an intermediate level of English, and I am very excited about the opportunity to continue improving it.

Dear families, I'm a creative and reliable nanny with 10 years experience caring for children ages 0-6. I have a very playful and gentle nature and working with children and families is one of my biggest passions! Basics: 30 yrs old WWCC Car and open drivers license First Aid CPR and anaphylaxis cert Wonderful references Animal lover, non-smoker and vaccinated. Looking for: 2 or 3 days, 6+ hour shifts (8am - 6pm) I’m available Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays as I’m currently caring for a 5 year old and 3 year old on the other days. I have experience with disabilities (ASD, Cerebral Palsy, global delay, Down syndrome) and happy to learn more. I’m big on creativity, imagination and learning. I love engaging children in art, craft, books, cooking and storytelling. I love nature, being outdoors with children and activities like playgroups, library, ginger factory and galleries. I prefer to leave screen time for parents or if children are sick. I strongly believe in encouraging a growth mindset early on so children feel confident and capable in their abilities.

I’m able to apply logical discipline and set safe boundaries. I enjoy free messy play with art or in the garden. I like organising play spaces so children and have easy access to their resources and toys. It makes it easy to enjoy tidying up because they know where everything belongs, which helps them feel secure in their environment and fosters responsibility and independent play. I’m more than happy to do laundry, light housework and meal prep for children. I’m vego but can serve meat if pre-cooked. Happy to run errands (groceries, post office etc.) though my first priority is making sure your children are happy and engaged in my care.
