Meet Jolena: A nanny, babysitter, and au pair in Harkness, VIC

Hi, my name is Jolena. I am a warm, reliable, and experienced nanny with a genuine passion for working with children.

As a mother to a grown son, I understand the importance of creating a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment where children can thrive. I moved to Australia in 2001 and have several years of childcare experience.

I previously cared for a 4-year-old girl for over three years, building a strong and trusting relationship with both the child and her family. I have also looked after three children aged 8, 10, and 12, assisting with daily routines, activities, meal preparation, and general supervision.

In addition, I gained hands-on experience working in a childcare centre while completing my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. This strengthened my understanding of child development, learning through play, and age-appropriate activities.

I enjoy planning engaging activities that are both educational and fun, encouraging creativity, confidence, and healthy development. I also love cooking nutritious meals and promoting positive, healthy eating habits.

Families often describe me as friendly, patient, dependable, and easy to get along with. I take pride in creating a caring environment where children feel happy, secure,
