"Manja was amazing with our 11 month old. We had Manja mind our baby for two days whilst I worked. She was so interactive with her. Our little one has some health conditions and Manja was understanding and supportive of her condition. She is well experienced in her field. She has a friendly and professional manner and did odd jobs whilst the baby was napping. We hope to see Manja again soon 😊"
From Catherine - Blaxland
"Manja has been looking after our 1 year old twice a week for several weeks and we could not be happier! She is always punctual and it is clear that she has a huge amount of experience with children! Our daughter has such a great time and Manja keeps us updated with lots of photos throughout the day. She is also a fantastic cook which is a wonderful bonus! "
From Talia - Crows Nest
"Manja was incredible with our 7 month old baby. It was the first time we had used a babysitter, and what a perfect first experience. Our baby was happy, settled, engaged, and kept to her usual schedule thanks to Manja. She was very warm and professional, and kept me updated throughout the day. Have already booked her in again! :) "
From Emma - Willoughby
"Manja arrived with a few activities and quickly got the kids involved in a game to get to know them. They were very relaxed with her and they had a great night. (We also had a great night because we knew the kids were being looked after.) Manja texted us updates to let us know all was well. I would absolutely book Manja again."

Childcare Experience

I have been working in childcare for two years, I am a mature person, a mother of two beautiful children. I have been hosting international students in my house for over a year. I have worked with infants as young as 6 months up to preschool age, host students were between 15 and 23 years. Most rewarding is seeing children developing their own identity and becoming independent with something like eating with a spoon, holding your own bottle. Language development was most prevalent during all the work and hosting, understanding language development and how from basic communications to the very first word it’s a aw moment. Working with families to see their needs and the help you can give them. I hope I can be of help to a family bonding and building community.
