Nannies in Parkville, VIC

Hi families i'm Penny :) I'm a Law/Arts student at Monash University looking for a consistent part-time nanny role. I've been babysitting for about six years, mostly for families around my neighbourhood, and many of them have recommended me to others. I hold a current Working With Children Check. My time with kids goes beyond babysitting. I've helped teach baby ballet classes, and I recently came back as an alumni to choreograph my old high school's musical. I bring a warm, bubbly energy that kids gravitate to, and I love keeping them active, creative and having fun. I also work as an academic tutor for VCE students, so I'm happy to help with homework and study for any year level from Prep to Year 12. Outside of study and work, I love dancing, singing, baking, going for walks, catching a good sunset and spending time with friends. I'd love to hear from you and chat about how I can support your family!

I am a responsible and caring person who enjoys spending time with children. Over the past year, I have been working as a paid babysitter and have gained experience caring for children from 6 months to 12 years old, usually looking after a maximum of two children at a time. This has helped me become more confident and comfortable caring for children of different ages and adapting to their individual needs and routines. I am comfortable preparing light meals, helping with bedtime routines, and keeping children entertained through everyday activities such as going to the park, playing outside, doing activities together, or simply playing at home. I always try to create a safe, calm, and enjoyable environment where children feel comfortable. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which I enjoy being able to use when communicating with children and families. I would love the opportunity to continue supporting families and helping make their day a little easier.

I am a hardworking and lively person with a strong family orientation, which has given me extensive experience caring for young family members and friends. Having moved away from home for university, I have proven myself to be self-sufficient and capable of independently managing household chores and cleaning.

Hi Families! My name is Leila, I am 25, and originally from Scotland! I am a warm, passionate and experienced Early Years (Childcare) Assistant for 2.5 years, a Maths and English Tutor/holiday camp leader for ages 5-15 for over a year. I also hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology! My job at Thrive childcare and education involved caring for and engaging with children from all walks of life, from the ages of 6 months to 5 years old (A job I absolutely loved!). Day to day, I created and got involved in new and engaging child-centred, creative and imaginative activities both indoors and out. My job also included personal care, such as changing and toileting support and overseeing mealtimes positively and safely. Alongside this, I tutored 5 to 15-year-olds in Maths and English at 'Kevs Class Tutoring', focusing not on academic outcomes but on building trusting relationships with parents and children to build confidence in these subjects. In the holidays, I also assisted in creating and running fun activity day camps for the same children, which was lots of fun! My degree in Psychology really kick-started my interest when learning about child development as part of my course, and the importance of a positive, fun and supportive environment and the carers a child is surrounded with. I absolutely love guiding and engaging children, and I find building relationships with both the children and their families such an important and rewarding part of the job. References for both jobs can be provided upon request. Don't hesitate to reach out if the above seems like a good fit for you and your child/children, I look forward to hearing from you! Best wishes, Leila
