Nannies in Elwood, VIC

I am energetic and absolutely love being with little children out, playing, movement, dancing, singing, making food, walks and discovering the little things in our world outdoors. Have been a nanny for 10 years, researched and experienced the early childhood and development field and have completed my Diploma in early childhood in 2018. Even though I explored the early childhood field in childcare centres my delight is in being out and about mostly in nature with kids exploring the local surroundings, bugs, plants, birds, playgrounds etc. Sometimes even a walk when done slowly, just down the street can be amazing. When we stop and notice the scents, sounds and each little thing that is there. I find this to be a favourite of children and I enjoy being in the present moment with them. My background has been in fashion design and at the moment the wellbeing space.

Hi! I’m Ava, and I have over 7 years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns through to older kids. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and feel supported. Along with my nannying and babysitting experience, I’ve also worked with the Victorian Aboriginal Child Care Agency (VACCA), where I helped run a playgroup for children aged 0–6 years. This role strengthened my skills in planning engaging activities, supporting children’s development, and building positive relationships with both children and their families. I’m caring, patient, reliable, and love getting involved in creative play, outdoor activities, reading, and helping with daily routines. I understand the importance of tailoring my care to each child’s individual needs and personality, and I always strive to make children feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I look forward to meeting your family and providing a positive, trustworthy, and supportive environment for your little ones!

Hi Parents! I’m a 31-year-old professional nanny based in St Kilda, where I share my home with three Australian budgies. Coming from a large family, I’m lucky to have five nieces and two nephews who keep things fun and lively! What started as casual babysitting sparked a deep passion for childhood development and supporting families in creating balanced, efficient households. This passion has led me to a rewarding career as a nanny. With eight years of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with children ranging from 8 months to 16 years old. My first professional role involved working 30 hours a week with two wonderful girls, aged 3 and 6. My responsibilities included all transportation to and from school and after-school activities, assisting with homework, and providing engaging entertainment through arts and crafts, dance classes, and other fun activities. I also prepared dinner (I love to cook!), managed bath and bedtime routines, and handled light household duties like laundry and home organisation. I helped with errands such as grocery shopping, dry cleaning, post office duties and taking their dog for walks. I’ve had the privilege of working with a variety of families throughout my career. One of my roles involved caring for three older children, a 9-year-old girl, an 11-year-old boy, and a 13-year-old boy. My responsibilities included providing safe transportation to and from after-school activities, assisting with homework, and ensuring they had everything they needed for the next day’s activities. I also prepared lunch boxes, cooked delicious meals and maintained a fun and engaging environment for the kids with baking and various board games. In addition to my nannying experience, I’ve worked as a chaperone for Kidz On Set, ensuring the safety and well-being of children on set and backstage during productions. I was also a dance coach at Haileybury College, teaching students from Prep through to Year 10. I currently hold a valid Working With Children Check, Police Check, full driver’s licence, my own car, and First Aid certification, including CPR. I’m also particularly fond of dogs and cats! Earlier in my career, I spent two years working with two ambitious boys, aged 8 months and 3 years. This experience helped me develop my skills in infant care, ensuring their happiness and health while providing a nurturing and structured environment. My duties included managing household cleanliness, laundry, cooking balanced meals, maintaining nap and bedtime routines, and organising outings to libraries and parks. I also created sensory and developmental activities to promote their emotional and cognitive development. Currently, I’m working with a family and have Wednesdays and Fridays available. Ideally, I’d love to find a role with a long-term commitment. I believe it’s important for children to have a reliable, committed nanny who can adapt to a family’s needs and I’m excited for the opportunity to bring my skills and experience to a new family. Thank you 😊 Paris
