Nannies in Elsternwick, VIC

Hi! My name is Akari, I am from Japan. I work as an au pair in here and I have spare time so I would like to help your family. I studied early childhood education in university. After graduated from university I worked in a Japanese nursery school for two years. I had been an au pair in the United States for a year and half. I was talking care of 4 girls, 4years old triples and 2years old.

I am fresh out of school with a lot of free time on my hands. I am a younger brother and thus always had to keep the younger children company at social gatherings, (who often were very young). Therefore, I have become quite good at keeping them entertained. Developing this skill, I have mainly learnt I have a natural caretaking ability, but most importantly that i enjoy taking care of people, making them laugh, and keeping them entertained, and this especially is the most fun to me around children.

Hi, I’m Audrey, a third year uni student looking to find a family to help out. I have a few years experience in babysitting, nannying and the childcare industry (3 seasons as a ski instructor with kids!!) and have always loved working with kids. I’ve also worked in numerous hospitality jobs so I’m equipped to deal with whatever responsibilities are given to me. I’m very friendly, organised and reliable. I love animals, cooking and have an accessible car available to me.

Hi, I’m 23 years old with several years of experience in babysitting, au pairing, and, most importantly, professional childcare. I’ve babysat a 2-year-old every day for 6 months, worked as an au pair for a year with three children aged 4, 7, and 9, and spent over a year in a formal childcare setting, primarily caring for toddlers (2–3 years old) and kindergarten-aged children. I’m very familiar with childcare rules and early learning programs, and I hold a current Working With Children Check (WWCC), First Aid certification, and a Police Check. I also speak French and would be happy to introduce or teach the language to children in a fun, engaging way. I’m passionate, responsible, and love supporting children in their growth and development.

My name is Clódagh, I recently made the move from Ireland to Melbourne. I am a registered oncology nurse working agency shifts therefore have the ability to work to your schedule/as needed. I come from a big family and have grown up taking care of younger cousins/siblings and started my first babysitting job at the age of 16 where I looked after three children up until I was in my early 20's where I then went on to childmind for two more families part time. I am a very enthusiastic, active person and love working with children.

Hi! My name is Ortali Arzouan, and I’m currently studying a double degree in Engineering and Commerce at Monash University. I’m looking for a part-time job to fill the days when I’m not studying.

Hi everyone!!! My name is Tess and I just finished school at Loreto Mandeville Hall in Toorak, with a 93.85 atar and awards over for study scores over 40 (Geography, English and Health/Human Development.) I am currently taking a gap year from uni, so I have a lot of time to work. I’ve developed strong communication and leadership skills through school captain roles and community involvement. I have led kindergarten students in skill development and supported various fundraising activities for underprivileged children. As well as having babysitting experience for a range of different aged children all throughout school. I’m confident in handling responsibilities with care and patience as I believe I am a super friendly as bubbly person who loves to meet new people!

Hello, I work as a maternal child health nurse 3 days a week and looking for part-time work as a nanny to break it up.

Hello! I’m a warm, patient, and responsible 23-year-old with a Bachelor’s degree and a strong passion for caring for children. While I may not have formal childcare employment yet, I bring a natural ability to connect with kids, a calm and nurturing personality, and a genuine commitment to their wellbeing. I’m fluent in English, Hindi, Telugu, and Urdu, which helps me engage comfortably with children from diverse backgrounds. I love keeping kids entertained through creative activities like drawing, reading stories, crafts, and fun learning games. I can also help with homework and educational support to make learning both effective and enjoyable. Additionally, I’m comfortable with pets, adaptable to routines, and available to babysit at my home or occasionally at yours, based on your preference. I always prioritize safety, respectful communication, and creating a positive environment where children feel happy, heard, and secure. If you’re looking for a reliable, kind-hearted babysitter who brings both compassion and commitment—I’d love to chat and learn more about how I can support your family.

Hi there! I am very excited about meeting and getting to know you. ABOUT ME: I have been providing childcare over the past 22 years, and I have looked after more than 50 children in this time. The last 9 of those years, I have been a Nanny. I have worked with many different families: with 1-4 children; twins with a younger sibling, all girls, all boys, brothers & sisters; with an age range of 9mths - 12 years old. As all children & families are different I like to stay adaptable, to meet the needs of the unique situation. Some children are runners, some are quite contemplators, others always need to be crafting and creating big cardboard constructions, while another is quite happy to sit while colouring in and drawing hrs on end. However they all ask questions non stop, lols. And I love that because of their curiosity, I too learn; from having to google answers to the questions I don’t have answers for, e.g. I now know the oldest living animal is the Greenland shark, and it is guessed to have a lifespan of 250-500 yrs. With the current oldest one guessed to be 300 years old! But I only learned this because one child I looked after LOVED the ocean and all its wonders. :) I find I lean towards the Montessori Method of teaching children. I follow the theme of their current interest for play, games and conversations, and I like to incorporate their current obsession, be it space or dinosaurs into our word & math games and everything else we do together. MORNING ROUTINE; breakfast, lunch boxes, school bag packing, day-care/kinder/school drop offs -For the little ones when at home and not at daycare/kindy. I like to have our week planned. Be it excursions to the zoo, park, an indoor play center, library time or classes that helps their development: that the parents have enrolled them into, or I have found that the Mum’s & Dad’s like; e.g. Gymbaroo, Ready steady go, All Sports etc., to activities we can do at the house like baking or painting or even a playdate with their friend/s. HOUSE MANAGEMENT; groceries, maintenance of pantry & basic medicine (ie expiry dates & organisation), light laundry duties, light house keeping, tiding up after myself & the little ones, keeping the kitchen clean & hygienic, school holiday & pupil free day planning, meal planning, food & meal prep (dietary requirements taken into consideration) multi-tasking and other Ad-Hoc tasks. AFTERNOON ROUTINE; networking with other parents & carers at the children’s school- that the children are friends with or do extra curriculum’s with, extracurricular coordination (this is where the networking can sometimes help with car pooling & swapping weeks), planning of play dates, supervise-assistance with homework and practice for their extra curriculum’s. With additional extras from me if wanted/needed or time permits (eg. Music theory, maths etc.) ***I have help children further develop their music skills with my attention and knowledge than what they get in 1 30min class a week. And I have helped with development of their Math & literacy skills. HOWEVER my proudest achievement was some how managing to help my French charge (when an AuPair in Paris) go from an almost F (from her former AuPair) in her French Class to an A. While I was only at a very basic beginner level with my own French skills. EVENING ROUTINE; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine.
