| Hi, Donnell here. DAYTIME NANNY: 8 hours day minimum at $35 per hour plus GST. Specialty infants to 5. Experienced with twins. Successful at getting babies sleeping through the night by three months. Successful with early reading support. Based in Meadowbank between Remuera and Glendowie and prefer caring for children in Eastern bays. Set up to care for children in my home, or yours. Working towards my second degree as Batchelor in ECE. I use some core education methods along with some Montessori. Library trips, reading, and stimulating outings, and at-home play learning are what I do. I can also be available to help overnight in your home if you need sleep. No house duties unrelated to childcare. No changing beds.
Donnell looked after our 16 month old while we were in town for a wedding. We really appreciated all the extra, thoughtful touches she provided, like coming to meet our little guy before hand and bringing age appropriate toys and activities with her. She handled his separation anxiety with patience and empathy and was very clued in to our guy's wants and needs. We were so happy to see that her experience and intuition led her to be more flexible and adaptable with his usual routine, making him more comfortable on what could have been a pretty tough night for him in a new space with a new carer."

Caring for the heart of the child.
| Registered Dream Nannies, nanny. My wife or I could be your ideal childcare option. We are educated, experienced semi retired international creative professionals pivoting into childcare. Boutique care similar to very active and engaged grandparents caring for your child. We nanny for families independently with me having a bit more energy for the full on needs of boys. I also worked with autistic children successfully over the past 13 years. We take kids on outings to library’s, parks, zoo, aquarium, and museums. Theme steam based activities through each month. Successful at getting infants sleeping through the night at six weeks. Our daughters were home schooled till they were 7, and achieved early reading and math skills with a combo of core, and Montessori. We raised our own twins, and are approved and police vetted Home Stay caregivers for Schools. Feel free to reach out for more information or if you’d like to meet us. Rate $35 plus gst. As a contractor, work expenses, taxes, sick days, are included, unless your child shares a virus. The level of attention and care comes from someone that has successfully raised a family, and understands what is required. Cheers
Mahlon looked after our boys on numerous occasions, each filled with a variety of activities walking the perfect line between entertainment, education and escapade. He had them doing things I never thought they’d try – let alone embrace. A clearly devoted parent of his own twins, Mahlon shares many of our values. I felt totally comfortable with him guiding the children’s’ activities. I trust him implicitly to keep them safe while expanding their sense of what they can achieve. He enthrals the twins with his ideas. They arrive home worn out but brimming with what they’ve accomplished. It’s not just the latest activity that makes Mahlon engaging, it’s book reading while eating lunch, conversations about life and world events, encouragement to do things for themselves. Their imaginations and interest are constantly ignited with him. Mahlon is a godsend for us. I would be happy to personally recommend Mahlon to anyone wanting the ‘next level’ of adventure kid-minding that he provides."
