Nannies in Cottles Bridge, VIC

Hi families, My name is Simone and I am the mother of two beautiful boys. I have over 30 years experience in childcare. I have worked in early learning centres, hospitals for special needs kids and have several years experience as a private nanny for a few lovely families. I love children and animals and my focus is always on having fun and staying safe. I treat the kids as my own and believe that laughter is the key to life! Looking forward to connecting with the right family. :-)

I am a caring mother of 3 who has been working with children for the last 15+ years. I was an assistant in the 3 year old group at a kindergarten for 8 years. I have Nannied for several families over the last seven years, the children’s ages range from babies to school age so I have experience with bottle feeding, nappy changes, sleep routines, preparing meals, kinder and school drop offs/pick ups and plenty of fun learning activities. I am currently working with a lovely family (3 children aged 8,6 & 4) for 1 day a week and am interested in finding another family on the other days. I completed my Certificate III in Children's Services in 2011 and have since worked at an Early Intervention Centre, occasional 4 year old assistant and 3 year old assistant at a pre school. I am a very reliable, patient, organised and enthusiastic person who loves being around children of all ages, I believe I can bring alot of fun to your children in a happy and safe environment. I engage well with children and parents and have great communication skills. I have WWCC, first aid, anaphylaxis and asthma training and have my own car. I am a very family orientated person and would love the opportunity to help care for your children and be a part of your family. I look forward to hearing from you. Cindy

Hello there! I'm currently seeking a part-time or casual nanny position after the family I’ve been working with moved out of town. I have over a decade of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and I’ve formed long-term, trusting relationships with families I’ve worked with. I frequently step in as auntie for close friends and family, and have a step-daughter of my own too, and I also work as a kids’ party, workshop and play space facilitator, fuelling my passion for supporting self-expression, learning, empowerment and play. In other words, I love kid's and am very experienced! Prior studies in yoga and eastern philosophies, and my current focus on counselling and psychology, along with personal experience navigating mental health and neurodiversity, have contributed greatly to my ability to understand and attune to and communicate well with children. I have a high capacity for providing emotional support, practicing non-violent communication and staying calm and regulated in stressful situations. My priority is to foster a mutually safe, trusting relationship with children and their families, and to nurture emotional regulation and connection, ensuring children feel seen, heard, and respected, as well as being a positive role-model. I bring a playful and creative spirit, with a love for exploration, adventures and cozy moments at home. I enjoy cooking, baking, making music, arts and crafts, and exploring nature, museums, playgrounds, libraries, galleries parks and all whatever adventures one could go on! I'm confident with taking the lead, planning activities, engaging in play and coming up with ideas that encourage joy and learning. I'm also a big fan of child-lead play and enjoy discovering and nurturing whatever sparks the child's interest and enthusiasm, and I find it very rewarding being a part of nurturing a child's interests and talent. I’m very happy to assist with daily tasks like morning and bedtime routines, school drop-offs, errands, meal prep, homework, laundry and general household upkeep. Grossed out by the head lice your kid kindly bought home from kinder? I'll happily take care of that for you too :P I'm very aware of the stress and chaos that can come with juggling work, home and kid's, and take joy in being able to help in whatever ways I can to help take some of the pressure off. Being invited into a child's life to nurture their wellbeing and help them to grow, learn, and enjoy their world is a privilege and a joy, and I look forward to continuing to be a positive, supportive and inspiring presence for the next little human and their family. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my profile and feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange a conversation if we sound like a good fit :)

Do you realise how hard it is to write about yourself, to be able to say what you want about yourself so that you as a parent feel comfortable to contact me as a perspective nanny? I have been working in child care since Dec '89, I've worked both in long day care (mainly in the kinder room, 3-5yr olds) and as a Nanny I worked with ages ranging from newborns to a 15yr old (she now is 37yr old - yikes !!) I'd really like to go back to working with a family with a newborn (or newly born) so in 2016 I went back to study and did a Newborn Specialist Course to keep my skills updated While working in long day care I've also had the privilege of looking after a few children with disabilities. I have my Certificate III & Diploma in Children's Services, Newborn Specialist Course, First Aid & CPR and Working with Children Check (WWCC) - and I'm sure there is something I've forgotten !! Out of work hours I enjoy reading and making things, I'm very a very crafty person, just wait till you see and eat my gingerbread creations at Christmas time. Oh yes and I'm very organised and a bit of a neat freak.

I am part of a family of 5 with a beautiful border collie dog, duke. Ive been told that I am a hardworking and charasmatic individual which I believe has stemmed from my passion for sport and the 13 years of gymnastics I was dedicated to.

Surf life saving had also been a big part of my life where I volunteer at pt leo slsc by patrolling the beach as well as teaching kids how to swim in the ocean and run on the sand.
