Please Note:

Au-Pairs (Services Temporarily on hold due to COVID-19 - please contact us for further assistance)
Are: Live-in Nannies that offer a weekly allowance that is a subsidised rate to include accommodation, food, rent, utility bills etc.  Au-Pairs are willing to travel Australia Wide so they may not be located in your area, or in the area where your booking/placement is required if looking for a Nanny/Babysitter/In-home Carer.  However, we will endeavour to assist with finding another carer in your area to assist your needs and we would provide you with a full brief on the assigned carer/s.

Nannies/Babysitters/In-home Carers/Before & or After School Care
Are: Live-out carers that charge an hourly rate with a minimum 4 hours per day for one shift, if split shift is required (i.e. Before & After School Care) then for a permanent long term position a minimum 3 hours in the morning and 4 hours in the afternoon will be required.  The reason these are set minimum hours is because it is very difficult to find carers who are willing to commit to fewer hours therefore meaning less consistency for you and your family.

Employment

January - March
Nanny
Private Family

I was a full time live-in Nanny in London for a family with 2 young boys (2.5 and 4.5). I got the children up each morning, fed them breakfast and got them dressed. I drove them to school and nursery each day, I would then complete nursery duties and/or errands for the family. After nursery/school pick up I took them to afternoon clubs and activities (swimming, little gym, tennis). I cooked all meals and snacks for the children and occasionally for the whole family. I would often take the children through bathtime and bed routines by myself but would occasionally be assisted by a parent. I kept the children's play areas clean and tidy, their toys organised and managed their laundry each day.

March 2018 to Dec 2019
Nanny
Private Family

I nannied for a family 2-3 nights a week for an 8 and 10 year old (between March 2018- December 2019). I picked the children up from school and drove them to after school activities, I assisted the family with household chores such as laundry, general cleaning, food prep and cooking. I occasionally proxy parented the children by myself when business required the parents to leave town.

March 2017 - May 2017
Short Term Nanny

I completed a short term position as a nanny for a professional family with two young children (1.5 and 3). It was a live in Nanny position. I was required to help with morning routine, drop off and pickup from pre-school each day, take them to extra curricular activities and clubs, and general nursery duties, along with cooking/preparing the children's meals each day.

2014- Present
Ad hoc Nannying
Private Families

I began ad hoc nannying for various families around my hometown when I was 14. There were a few regular families I nannied for, I had 3 children (18 months, 3, 7) I would help out for a few hours up to a full day a few times a week during the year of 2018. I had 2 children (5 and 7 ) after school 2 nights a week for a 6 month period in 2016. Over my time I have cared for many children with varying ages between 18 months - 12 years old, I have had up to 3 children at one time on my own. I have done mostly sole charge positions, but have also at times worked alongside parents.

2017

Cover Letter

I have extensive babysitting and nannying experience. I would love to be given the opportunity to travel to WA for a nannying position, to meet a new family and explore the area.

I have a very friendly demeanor and enjoy working with children and together with parents to create the best environment and routine for the children to grow and learn in. I have highly developed  organisational skills, independence and initiative and pride myself for my effective use of this skill set. I'm very willing to help out where needed, with a can do attitude and a fun outlook on life.

Due to covid-19, my plans and employment (nannying) overseas in London were upturned, resulting in my return to Australia, therefore I am available and eager to start work immediately.

I appreciate you taking the time to read through and consider my application, I would be grateful to have the opportunity to speak with you further about the position.

About Me...

I am a very confident, reliable, trustworthy and hardworking person with very good people skills. I am a very honest and well mannered person, and I pride myself on being neat, presentable, and prompt at all times.

I have very good initiative and awareness of things around me, I am able to follow instructions and complete tasks to the desired standard whilst being able to work independently as well as cooperatively with others.

I am a very capable cook and enjoy making new recipes and healthy meals. I also love baking. I have undertaken general nursery duties in many of my positions, I have very good multitasking skills. I am efficient in the work that I do, getting things done in a logical and timely manner. I enjoy spending time with children, playing and learning with them. I am a fun but firm nanny, I believe it is important for children to learn good manners and gain independence but also deserve a lot of love, attention and have plenty of fun in their day.
