Nannies in Ripponlea, 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

This experience taught me the importance of mutual respect, adapting to family routines and creating a positive environment together. With a Master’s degree in Educational Innovation, I love encouraging children’s curiosity through play and creativity. I’d love to meet a family where we can build a trusting relationship.

Hello, lovely to meet you! I’m Charlotte, a kind and friendly 33-year-old originally from New Zealand, looking for babysitting/nannying work. I’m an aunty to 7 (with two older sisters back in NZ) and absolutely adore kids. I’ve spent the past couple of months on Mount Buller babysitting for different families most days during the ski season - ages 4 months to 9 years - including skiing with the kids, nappy changes, feeding, settling, naps, and soothing. Happy to provide references. I can drive and am happy to carpool, plus help with homework, cooking, and cleaning - anything that takes the load off you. I live independently in a two-bedroom apartment in Elwood and I’m happy to travel if needed. I’ve spent 15 years overseas - 5 in the US, 2 in London - and the last 9 in Melbourne, most recently 6 years in banking. I’m taking a break from the corporate world and finishing up on the mountain in a couple of weeks. I’ll be back in Elwood/Brighton from mid-September, looking to split my time between a couple of nannying families if I can. Look forward to speaking soon. Many thanks, Charlotte
