I have worked both full time at a Centre in North Carlton And l have also done Agency work where l would do shifts at various Child Care Centres Kindergarten and Before/ After School Care around Melbourne. Agency work required me to take up shifts at late notice and therefore l was required to be flexible, quick thinking and comfortable visiting Centres, Kindergartens and schools which l had not been too before.

54 families and businesses in your area recommended Effie...
"Effie has been amazing. Extremely experienced and effective with our three boys (5yr twins and 1x 4yr) all constantly demanding division of attention which can have us tearing hair. Effie is caring, responsive, and level headed in this challenging scenario. Effie demonstrates her tenure in this profession and I delight in the effortless way in which she holds her ground with an effective composure that as parents we struggle! We welcome Effie when ever we can and would recommend her to anyone needing an experienced Educator, Babysitter and/ or Nanny. "
From George - Keilor East
"Effie took the job on short notice and put us at ease that our 11 month old was in good hands. She was even great with our big dog (who can be a pain). She never stopped and even did a clean up/vacuum while the baby was down for a nap, which was a lovely treat for two working parents!"
