Hi, I’m an Irish girl who’s been in Australia for the past year and a half. Based in Rosebery. I have 10+ years experience with babies with most of my experience being with newborn - 3 years. I’m currently nannying for 3 separate families on Tues/Wed/Thurs. All young babies who I have been with for over a year. I started with 2 of those families when babies were 4.5 months old including twins (so have experience with multiples) & the other family when the little girl was 13 months. Have availability for casual nannying days on Mondays and Fridays as-well as midweek evening & weekend babysitting. My rate is $40/hr mon-sat & $50/hr on a Sunday. I also nannied part time for a few years in Ireland on top of my other jobs including working as an afterschool supervisor. I looked after babies from newborn. Made & fed bottles, nappy changes, bathing, putting down for naps (This included following a sleep routine or sleep training/gentle sleep training, putting to bed, baby food prep, doctor & developmental checkups, baby groups & activities, play & help with developmental stages. Give physical & emotional support. Lots of cuddles. With older toddlers/kids I prepped food & fed them, bathed, put to bed, read stories, fun outside, helped with developmental stages, imaginary play, did baking & arts & crafts activities. developmental checks, doctors apps, play groups, out for walks, to park & done fun activities with them. Lots of cuddles, emotional & physical support. I helped with light housework like dishes, folded laundry, prepared food for the kids and cleaned up after. Kept the kids areas clean and tidy. Prepped bits for family dinner. I worked in a preschool every Monday for a year as part of work experience. I have 3 young nieces myself and a nephew myself who I absolutely adore and plenty of young cousins. I am a very caring, nurturing & responsible nanny. Although my job is to care for the kids daily needs & make sure they have fun, the most important thing to me is keeping them safe. I have always loved babies, helping them learn and grow. I also enjoy the outdoors so would love to bring the little ones to parks/beach/on walks/play groups. I am very fun & creative & very patient. I like to build a relationship with any kids I care for. I like to keep parents updated on how the babies/kids are doing & pass on any info I think is necessary at the end of the day. I am based in rosebery & have my own car so happy to travel up to 30 mins. Often I care for the babies in my own house if it’s suits the parents better (obviously this is once they’ve known me for a while) I have a full Irish drivers license My own car (happy to drive yours) First aid & CPR certification WWCC. I can provide 3/4 references. I also have a qualification in child special needs assisting

"Emma has been amazing looking after our 14 month old daughter for 1 full day a week (8-9 hours) over the last few weeks and ongoing. She picked up her routine straight away and has always been great at communicating and keeping me up to date. Our daughter has lots of fun with Emma, playing at home or going to the park. During nap times Emma is always happy to help out with some household jobs which is very appreciated. We feel very lucky to have found someone so great to spend time with our daughter every week!"
From Laura - Randwick
"Emma is a pro and a natural. She is the first person outside of family that we have left our child with. She started looking after our boy from 7 months and continues to be a trusted person for our family. It is such a relief and support to know we can trust Emma to help with our little one, whether it be a full day of care or an evening here and there. Emma incorporates any direction or instruction into her approach with our little boy. I couldn't recommend her enough! "
