Madeleine E.

Hello! I'm Madeleine and I'm a student midwife looking for some regular nannying/babysitting work :) 26 years old, currently completing a Bachelor of Midwifery. I have 5 years experience caring for newborns, babies, toddlers and primary school aged children as a nanny. I love working with children and mothers. I am passionate about the work I do, which is always in service of promoting healthy early childhood development, and secure child-caregiver attachment. I enjoy playing games with children, reading, singing and completing homework together. I am comfortable looking after children both outgoing and introverted and understand each child has their own unique set of needs. I particularly love caring for babies and have experience caring for newborns both as a nanny and student midwife. I am confident with bottle feeding, settling to sleep, carrying, changing nappies, bathing and the million other things to do in that beautiful baby bubble! Safety, privacy and empathy are at the centre of my care. I have a gentle personality that I find always puts little ones at ease. I love cleaning and tidying up so you'll enjoy me making things easier for you when you get home without needing to ask. I only speak English; however, I did take care of children who went to bilingual school for 3 years, and have taken lessons in French and Spanish, so am very capable of helping your kids with language homework/games. Fully vaccinated, current Police check, Working with Children's Check, full driver's licence holder (10 years experience), pet-friendly, and I am a non-smoker. My usual rate is $35-40/hr (negotiable, as every family is different). Message me for a meet-up, and I can get to know you and your family. Can't wait to meet you!
