Hello!
Iβm a professional Career Nanny with 25+ yearsβ experience working with children of all ages, from newborns through to teenagers, around the world. I also have many yearsβ experience as a Personal Assistant, hold a Diploma in Nutrition and have worked as a maternity nanny, sole-charge nanny, governess, English tutor, proxy parent, agency babysitter and holiday nanny.
Iβve worked with private families, through babysitting and nanny agencies, and in high-profile, fully staffed households. My international experience includes Russia, Turkey, Germany, Sweden, Spain and Singapore, working with families from many different cultures and backgrounds.
After recently returning to Australia, Iβve been working in Sydney and Newcastle in a variety of roles (house manager, maternity nanny, proxy parent and babysitter). Iβm currently open to new opportunities (whether thatβs a 2-3 jobs of 2 days each, temp roles, maternity nanny stints, or a great full-time position with the right family). Iβm always happy to have a chat about any roles you think I might be interested in.
Iβm warm, friendly, professional, proactive, responsible, reliable, organised, fun, energetic and adaptable, with excellent communication skills. Iβm fun and playful with children and have a natural ability to bring out the best in them, while providing calm, consistent boundaries and age-appropriate structure and discipline. I love encouraging childrenβs curiosity, confidence and learning, and enjoy getting out and about to parks, libraries and educational activities.
I have a strong interest in childrenβs (and everybodyβs) health, wellbeing and education. Iβm happy to cook for the kids and assist with household organisation. My PA experience in legal, accounting and film production has given me strong administration, scheduling, travel and organisational skills. I also owned and operated my own retail business in New Zealand, importing jewellery sourced through my travels and international connections.
I have my own car, a clean driving licence and I love animals.
If you feel we might be a good fit, Iβd love to hear from you and talk through any potential role. Thanks!
