Nannies in Spotswood, VIC

Hello! My name is Alba and I am a 33 years-old Spanish woman. I am caring, patient, creative, cheerful, empathetic, hard-working and respectful. I am now living in Melbourne as of the 1st of October, but I lived the last 7 years in the UK as a Spanish and French teacher for children aged 11-18. I also have experience teaching English in Spain to children aged 4 to 14. Apart from my teaching experience, I have worked since I was a teenager as a nanny several times, including 1-year-olds; as well as in summer camps for primary and secondary school children. I am always happy to do interviews in person so you can see me interacting with your child before you hire me. I understand that your child is the most precious thing to you and I want to make sure that you feel confident leaving them with me :)

Hi family. My name is Jennifer ¡it's a pleasure to meet you! I would like to tell you a little about myself. I'm Colombian and y have been in Melbourne for two months such as English student. I was born in a simple and small family that gave me a lot of love as an only child. From a young age, my parents instilled in me the fundamental values that still govern my personality, where respect for others is paramount. Currently, I consider myself a happy, sensitive, tender, trustworthy and empathetic woman. In my adolescence, I used to help my little cousins with their homework and I helped the babies that came to the family by changing their diapers and feeding them with their bottles. In addition, at school I did social work with fifth grade girls between the ages of 9 an 11, providing school support and different educational activities. Then, while I was studying at university, I did a few weeks replacement as a baby sitter for two children aged 3 and 5 old. Although it was a very short experience, I found it enjoyable and enjoyed taking care of them. I'm good at crafts and I love dancing and singing because I'm fascinated by music, in my free time I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking which allows me to share active and healthy moments with the children. I'm available Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm

Hi, I’m Lily, Im 18 years old and I am a first year student at Melbourne University, majoring in Psychology and Media and Communications. As the oldest of two siblings, babysitting has always been part of my day-to-day. My babysitting experience started when I was 15 years old, and I have been helping local families ever since. I have experience babysitting children from ages 2+. In my previous roles, I have walked the children to and from school, helped with cooking and cleaning, played fun games with the kids (hide and seek has proven to be a favourite), and any other tasks necessary around the house. I love music, animals, food, crafts, and board games. I’m a responsible, patient, compassionate and caring person and I love to be a positive role model in a child’s life. I also have tutoring students in primary school in Maths and English, and finished year 12 with very positive results in these areas.
