Nannies in Balaclava, VIC

Hi! I’m Lisa, a third-year full-time teacher with a love for working with kids. While studying, I did nannying and absolutely loved it! I’ve cared for children of different ages, including a family with a 10-month-old and a 3-year-old, and another with a 6 and 10-year-old. My experience has helped me create a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids, whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or keeping routines on track. I’m reliable, caring, and excited to support your family!

Hi, I am a mature, experienced, active, healthy, happy and passionate carer. I have been looking after children since I was 13. I have two grown up children and 3 grandchildren, and currently working as a Nanny. I cook, tidy, sort, organize, cater and personally assist with errands for various families already. Now I am ready to get organised for year ahead. I will have a few days available for a family who has a stable (min.6 mth) work to offer. 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.(sometimes more if we have a production coming up). 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, 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. 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

In addition to my teaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Director of a childcare center in Armadale for 4 years, overseeing up to 180 children a day. This role allowed me to gain invaluable experience in managing diverse needs, building strong relationships with both children and their families, and ensuring a safe, nurturing environment for children to learn and grow.

If you're looking for someone who can offer not only childcare but also wellness support, emotional guidance, and a mindful approach to living, I’d love to chat!

Hey families, My name is Marnie, and im 33, I have over 18 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 three and a half years, I have been a classroom teacher at a primary school in Brighton East and Casual Relief Teaching. 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 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 hones 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 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. My price per hour is negotiable ◡̈
