Prepare meals to ensure children eat a healthy balanced diet, School drop off and pick up, take children on outings and afternoon activities. Happy to do general housework and run errands. Maintain a safe and healthy environment for children in all respects. I have also worked in the school sector as a Teacher Aide and enjoy working with children.

I am so grateful I found Edwina! She is the most kind and caring person and our one year old, Tyler took to her instantly. I’m quite frazzled a lot of the time and I worry about people thinking my kids are a bit too much to handle, however Edwina just brought calmness to our home and for once I was able to work from home without the stress of my little one! She didn’t even have to but she was kind enough to help me with little tasks around the house while Tyler slept and it just made a world of difference. She is the first babysitter I hired and my partner and I are so appreciative of her help. I also appreciate I can message her the same morning and she’s always happy to come last minute if she available. It’s hard to find reliable help, however Edwina is that and more! I very much recommend her, she’s just a beautiful carer and person in general!"

Experienced nanny/newborn nanny/night nanny!

| I bring over 6 years of diverse childcare experience, specialising in both singletons and multiples. While I've honed my expertise in newborn care, including overnight support, I've also nurtured toddlers and older children. Beyond infancy, I've excelled in after-school and evening care for toddlers and school-aged children, adapting activities to suit their developmental stages and interests. Additionally, I've provided proxy parenting services, ensuring continuity of care during family trips or business commitments. My background extends beyond childcare; I've been an active member of my local Surf Life Saving Club, volunteering as a lifesaver and imparting essential skills to nippers as a trainer. Holding certifications in Bronze Life Saving, First Aid, CPR, and water safety, safety remains my top priority. Outside of childcare, I thrive on outdoor adventures, from swimming to sporting games. My culinary passion is evident in the kitchen, where I enjoy experimenting with recipes, backed by my Certificate 3 in Kitchen Operations. I look forward to bringing my blend of experience, skills, and passion for childcare to provide a nurturing and engaging environment for your children

So kind and nurturing! Sophie was available to help us out last minute and was amazing with our little ones!"

Mary Poppins at your service

| Hello prospective families, I’m May! I have worked as a nanny and in after-school care and long daycare services as both a lead and assistant educator since 2017. I hold a diploma qualification and have been fortunate to work in both Canada and Australia, including with high-profile families and children of all ages—from newborns to primary school-aged. I truly love making children smile, laugh, and supporting them in achieving their developmental milestones. For older children, I enjoy demonstrating kindness, teaching manners, and helping develop their sense of humor. I bring a lot of energy to outings, singing, and play-based learning. In another lifetime, I was a children’s party host, so I have face painting and balloon-twisting skills, along with a plethora of Disney princess costumes! I’m currently looking for casual ($35ph), part-time ($40ph), or full-time ($40ph) work near Moonee Ponds while I search for a full-time role in social work (I recently graduated). I have a car, first aid certificates, WWCC, and a recent National Police Check. Please feel free to contact me—I’d be happy to provide written references, and we can discuss rates from there. Looking forward to hearing from you!

We couldn’t be happier with May! From the moment she walked in, her energy and enthusiasm were contagious. She came fully prepared with a backpack full of fun activities, keeping our 3- and 1-year-old boys engaged and entertained the entire time. It’s clear she has a real passion for working with children—she’s patient, creative, and fun. My boys absolutely adored her! If you're looking for someone reliable, energetic, and full of great ideas, May is the perfect choice."

Caretaker with experience in various fields

| I'm a fun and responsible individual with years of experience in childcare and tutoring. Aside from my translating and accounting experience, I have taken care of children aged 5-12 in a Sunday School for over 2 years. Besides that, I helped out in my school by guiding the students in their studies. I was also a manager for an after-school daycare. I have experience in online tutoring and private home tutoring for subjects such as English and Maths. Other than that, I took care of a set of twins when their parent went on business trips. In addition to tutoring them, I also conducted fun activities such as treasure hunts and pizza making. My main reason for working as a babysitter/nanny is so that I can do the things I enjoy - taking care of children and traveling - at the same time. In return, you can expect me to take good care of your kids. I am reliable and will do my best in everything.

Eann was an instant hit with our 3 year old, looking forward to continued bookings with her."
