Calm, caring, friendly, supportive and nurturing- look forward to meeting you
| Hi! I’m Isabelle. I’ve spent the past few years working in the support industry. I love it. My younger brother has a disability so for me spending time caring for someone who may find certain things more challenging than others is something I find very fulfilling. I am very active and passionate about food and clean eating and I love to cook and spend as much time outdoors as possible. I’m energetic, tactical, organised, kind and thoughtful and do my best to tailor everything I do to be nurturing for my client.
Isabelle was hands down amazing!! She picked up the job caring for our 14M bub & 5yr old at the last minute due to a cancellation of another nanny & we couldn’t have been more happy. She went above & beyond for my daughters bday when I was away & kids loved her. Helped taking kids to daycare, getting ready for day / putting to bed, helped with dinner & light jobs around the house. Highly recommended :)"

20 years experience amongst children of varied needs including developmental disabilities.
| I've been an educator for 20 long years now, 3 years of those have been spent as an education support staff in a special developmental school that caters to severe physical and intellectual learning disabilities. Working with children through those years makes me naturally and extensively patient, playful, fun, carefree, always smiling and cheerful. I have to manage tantrums with utmost patience and skill and I work it out with utmost understanding of the child to deliver a loving but effective care. Being energetic and physically fit is also an attribute that helps me deal with the very active nature of my current clients. I keep my working environment clean and tidy. My co workers have high regards for my work ethics because they do not even have to ask me for help as I would lend a hand straight away, the moment I see that anybody needs a helping hand. Most of all, unlike any other worker just after an income, I naturally love taking care of and teaching children beyond the monetary as it is both my vocation and my utmost passion for the past 20 years.I also believe any child can learn with a patiently guiding hand beside him/her,ensuring a safe & nurturing environment.
Jo is a wonderful babysitter. Reliable, communicates, prompt and prepared. She was so wonderful with our son and everything went really smoothly. Highly recommend. We’ll be calling on her again. Thank you Jo!"

Hi. My name is Wendy. I am a mum and a nurse
| I am nurse and s mum of an adult child. I have been working casually as a nanny for various families and children of all abilities and health needs since my daughter was 6 weeks old, had the luxury of taking her to work and continue to feed her. Obviously this is not the case and although I currently work 4 days a week for a large medical company I can’t think of anything satisfying than looking after and entertaining your children. Looking for evening and weekend child care for children of all abilities. I am caring, funny and definitely not a couch pouch potato, I’d rather be reading books and making craft things or cooking with your children safely obviously. Obviously I have had experience with overnight care. Please feel free to get in touch if you want to chat further. Wendy.

Neurodivergent friendly phlebotomist
| Hi there! My name is Cate. I was previously a nanny for 5 years with the same family, before the children entered school. I'm now a phlebotomist as my main job, and looking to re-enter the early childhood care sector as an additional job. I'm neurodivergent & trauma informed, so I am aware how children with additional needs may need that extra care, in a way that nurtures them so their needs are met. Being on the spectrum myself, I can further understand & empathise with your child, and am more than happy to do anything they may need to regulate, and to settle. I also understand that meltdowns can be very different & vary from child to child, and I know that meltdowns are something that come along with caring for anyone who's neurodivergent. I also offer afternoon & evening care, such as dinner & bath time, & meal prep, plus I'm available to do some light housework, take care of pets, laundry, dishes, etc; and do late night sitting, especially if you superstar parents are just stressed out and need some time to wind down & recharge, knowing your little ones are especially well taken care of! I'm always happy to do a virtual meet& greet before I start with helping to care for your family!
