Nannies in Balaclava, VIC

Hi, I am a mature, experienced, active, healthy, happy and passionate carer. I have been looking after children since I was 13. Have two grown up children and 4 grandchildren. Currently working as a Nanny/ PA . I cook, tidy, sort, organize, cater and personally assist with errands for various families already. Now I am ready to fill my available times in my working week.. I have experience with newborns and I can help new mother's also. 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, and 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

Hi! I'm a 19 year old girl from Cairns, QLD, just moved to Melbourne! I love reading, writing, music, art, the beach, going on walks and dogs - hence I live next to a dog park and the beach :) !! I've grown up looking after my little brother, my baby cousin and was always the favourite "older kid" at after school care. I love having the opportunity to help people out. :)

EXPERIENCED PRIMARY TEACHER AVAILABLE FOR TUTORING 🌟 Hi there! 😊 I’m an enthusiastic, experienced and reliable primary teacher, currently working part-time in Year 2, and I’m available for tutoring in literacy and/or maths, as well as school readiness for 4-year-old kindergarten children. I can provide support for children who need a little extra help, as well as extension work for children who are ready for a challenge. I have 10 years’ teaching experience across Foundation to Year 5, with a particular passion for the early years. I am Multisensory Structured Language (MSL) trained and have also worked as an MSL tutor within my school, supporting students with dyslexia and other literacy difficulties. I use an evidence-based structured literacy/phonics approach to help children develop strong foundations in reading, spelling and writing. For maths, I use a hands-on approach, linking concrete materials and visual representations to abstract mathematical concepts to help children develop genuine understanding. In addition to my 10 years as a teacher, I have previously worked as a private tutor (4 years), nanny (5 years), swim teacher and babysitter (15 years). As a mum myself, I also understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your child and who genuinely gets to know them. Children find me warm, approachable and encouraging, while parents often describe me as diligent, reliable and kind. As a qualified teacher, I hold all relevant checks and certifications, including WWCC, police check, Level 2 First Aid, asthma and anaphylaxis training and COVID vaccinations. 💰 Rates $100 per hour for individual tutoring $80 per hour per child when tutoring two siblings consecutively All learning activities are prepared in advance and specifically tailored to your child’s needs. I’m also happy to communicate with your child’s classroom teacher where helpful, so that tutoring can complement what they are working on at school. 📅 Availability Monday & Tuesday: from 3pm Wednesday–Saturday: any time Please feel free to get in touch if you’re looking for an experienced classroom teacher to support your child’s learning. I’d love to hear from you! Lucy

Hello! Welcome to my profile. I consider myself to be a fun, honest, reliable, compassionate and organised individual with a load of experience caring for my own gorgeous child (now all grown up) and precious others. Bucket loads of initiative. Providing a safe nurturing environment for the little ones to blossom, is what I aim to achieve. My professional background includes Nursing and qualifications in TAE, some hospitality experience too. Outdoor activity was a must in my family. I enjoy cooking. love ironing (multi task activity) if required, light housekeeping too. Being entrusted with the care of another's child is an honour and not taken lightly. My attention and focus is on the child and is one of the reasons I do not have a "Smart Phone". If your expectation is for updates via photos or vids etc, I am not the right person. I can do talk and text on my mobile phone when I am free and it is safe to do so. I look forward to engaging with you if you feel I fit with your expectations. I hope your day is a lovely one ! =) Anita NDIS provider for self managed funding participants (if required) NDIS rates apply.

I am currently taking a break from the corporate world, reconsidering my career and have chosen to get back into child care as a casual/contracting babysitter, nanny and/or au-pair. I am looking at studying Psychotherapy, with the goal to move into Play Therapy and working with children. Throughout my life, I worked with children on and off. Most recently I have been teaching Kids Yoga, and have developed my own Kids Yoga program. I also have experience working with children as a babysitter, an au-pair and have assisted at nursery schools back in the day. I strive for personal integrity, clear communication, laughter, play, community and compassion. I love children and am always delightfully humbled by their unique view of the world.
