Hi parents, I am an ex registered nurse, mother of two adult sons and now a dedicated and very experienced professional nanny with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for and nurturing children of all ages but especially newborns through til 4yrs. I’m based in Richmond 3121. My nurturing approach and expertise in the understanding of child development allow me to create a safe, engaging and loving environment for the children in my care. I have recently moved back to Melbourne from the UK and have sadly left one family with 4 children I was with for the past 6 years and another family with three children I was also with for the past two years ( part time for each family ) As a state registered nurse and post natal doula I bring a unique perspective to child care with a keen emphasise on, and understanding of, emotional and neurological development, secure attachment and health conscious practices. I am an energetic, disciplined, confident and extremely trustworthy person who is reliable and efficient and I’m excited to be looking for a new family to join and offer my love and support as they navigate the demanding but incredibly rewarding parenting journey.

Sarah was our nanny in the UK for nearly six wonderful years, during which she cared for
our four children. Looking back, we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her.
She quickly became part of our family, initially caring for our youngest newborn
daughter until she started school and then moving on to care for her younger brother
three years later but she would willingly help with all our children whenever needed
during school holidays etc.
Sarah brought thoughtful, beautiful toys and created activities that kept our children
engaged, endearing herself to us all and earning the affectionate nickname “Mary
Poppins.” She would often sing, dance, and create imaginative playtimes with our
children, she remembered all our children’s birthdays, never missing a chance to
celebrate them. Sarah also helped with breakfast/lunches and would sometimes cook
delicious family dinners. As a busy mother, I especially appreciated her thoughtful
gestures, like bringing homemade soups just for me—she always knew how to lift my
spirits.
Sarah’s dedication went above and beyond. She arrived early when needed, stayed late,
and was always willing to babysit when we needed a date night. She took our children to
local playgroups, planned outings to beaches, farms, and parks, and always ensured
they were engaged and entertained.
Creative play was one of her many strengths, and her activities helped our children
flourish. When our son was born, she again provided expert, attentive care, even sharing
valuable insights on sleep and developmental milestones. One day, she noticed a
hidden tick on our son that we’d missed, likely sparing him from potential illness—a
true testament to her attentiveness.
Sarah became much more than just a nanny; she was a trusted friend who always
arrived with a warm smile, asked after our well-being, and tidied up when time allowed.
Her wisdom, warmth, and positivity always brightened our day, and we’re thrilled she’s
sharing her experiences in her new book. Sadly, we had to say goodbye in July 2024
when we moved overseas. If we could have packed her up and taken her with us, we
would have! Any family fortunate enough to welcome Sarah will thrive with her support.
We miss her very much and wish her all the best and are more than happy to chat with
any prospective family considering employing her. Our recommendation? Snap her up!
It is a pleasure to recommend Sarah, who was our nanny for two wonderful years. Sarah is an exceptionally intuitive childcare provider with a deep understanding of how young children develop. She has a remarkable ability to connect with children on their level, nurturing their individuality while fostering growth and confidence. She consistently had engaging, fun activities planned and embraced time spent in nature. Sarah was also deeply committed to our family’s routine and proved to be extremely reliable.
Her background as a nurse brings invaluable reassurance, as she prioritizes safety and well-being with the utmost professionalism. Sarah seamlessly balances warmth and professionalism, creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and inspired.
We are a Waldorf educating family. As a Waldorf parent herself, Sarah was a natural fit for our family and would be an exceptional asset to any home, particularly one embracing Waldorf education principles. She truly understands this holistic approach to raising children, making her an ideal partner in fostering creativity and curiosity.
Now that our children are in school, Sarah has moved on, and we miss her dearly. Her dedication, expertise, and genuine care made her an integral part of our family, and I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking exceptional childcare.
