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. :-)

My name is Alyssa, and I am currently studying Criminology at La Trobe University. I enjoy university life, especially learning new things and spending time with my friends. I have a passion for gymnastics and spent 11 years as a gymnast, which has given me a strong appreciation for the sport. I particularly enjoy seeing children develop a love for gymnastics and gain confidence through it. While I enjoy working with children, I feel uncomfortable babysitting children aged three and older. I am a friendly, dedicated, and enthusiastic person who values both education and meaningful relationships.

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 a responsible and caring person that enjoys spending time with children. Although I don't have formal paid childcare experience, I have hands-on experience caring for kids.

Hello! My name is Finlay 😊 I’m a kind, joyful and responsible caregiver looking to make an intentional shift in my work life by supporting families and the local community in a more personal way. Over the past several years, I’ve worked within a gymnastics company where I began managing reception and supporting the wellbeing and safety of children ranging from 6 months to 17 years old. I later progressed into the executive team, leading customer care and success while managing a team of 15+ staff members. Before this, I worked as a nanny for a family with three children under 12, helping with the morning routine from 6am onwards — breakfast, getting organised for school, and bringing calm to the chaos of busy mornings! Outside of work, I’m a very proud Auntie to two little ones overseas and the chosen “Auntie Fin” to three more wonderful tiny humans aged 11 months to 3 years old. I regularly spend time with them through play, babysitting, outings, and lots of story time. A few things I love: • reading • music and dancing around the kitchen • getting outdoors for walks, weekend adventures and markets • trying new recipes • supporting my favourite sports teams • crafts (still improving!) • animals– especially my 10-year-old golden retriever and rescue cat, who absolutely run the house I’ve also completed my Diploma of Health Science, giving me a strong understanding of nutrition, wellbeing, and development across all life stages. I understand that choosing someone to care for your children is a huge decision. I aim to bring warmth, reliability, patience, and genuine care into every family I work with, and I would love the opportunity to chat about how I could support yours. *Happy to obtain First Aid certification and complete a Police Check upon request.

I’m an enthusiastic person. I love kids. I’ve raised two of my own and my nieces and nephews and now I’m a grandmother.

Hi! I’m Sienna, but everyone calls me CC 😊 I completed school at Carey Baptist Grammar School and I am currently studying Podiatry (Honours). I come from a close-knit family of five and we also have a beautiful border collie, Duke, so I’m very comfortable around dogs. I’ve always loved sport and spent 13 years doing gymnastics, which led me into coaching and judging children aged roughly 3–17. This experience really sparked my love for working with kids and helped me develop strong communication, patience and leadership skills. Over the past two years, I’ve worked as a nanny/babysitter for several lovely families with children of different ages. I cared for a family with three young boys aged 1, 4 and 6, where I helped with daily care, active play, routines and nappy changes for the youngest. I also worked with another family with two children aged 5 and 8, focusing on after-school care, school pick-ups, engaging activities and maintaining routines. In addition, I supported a family with two young girls aged 2 and 6, helping with age-appropriate play, school pick-ups, daily routines and general care. These experiences have made me very comfortable adapting to different family dynamics and needs. Surf lifesaving has also been a big part of my life. I volunteer at Point Leo SLSC, where I patrol the beach and teach children how to swim safely in the ocean and move confidently on the sand. Through this, I have strong first aid and CPR knowledge and feel confident handling responsibility and caring for children’s safety. I’m friendly, hardworking and energetic, and I genuinely love supporting families and spending time with kids. I’m really excited about the opportunity to help out in a welcoming home and be a reliable, caring presence. Based in Toorak and Eltham 😊
