Additional Information
After 20 years of self-employment, I’m returning back to nannying. I love working with children and being part of a family. During these 20 years I have been in regular contact with all of the families I have nannied for and attended 18th and 21st birthdays, regular catch ups and events. I will be attending a classical guitar concert next week of a boy I nannied. I worked for some of Melbourne’s most prestigious families. I nannied for doctors, surgeons, judges, magistrates and company owners. I accompanied them on many holidays and events. I hold a current driving license, police check and child car first aid certificate.
