Meet Katie: A nanny in Claremont, WA

Hi, I am the Nanny you need! I Have a Cert III in Childrens Services, specialising in cognitive, physical, social and emotional development (0-12) and am a qualified Education Assistant (K-10), specialising in Learning Support, specifically literacy and numeracy. In other words helping kids to fulfill their potential in a fun and nurturing way! I believe that the best way for children to learn is through play and discovery. Even learning times tables can be fun! I worked with triplets (2 boys, 1 girl) from aged 6 months until they began full time kindergarten. With two extremely busy expat working parents, I was responsible for shopping, cooking, washing and cleaning of general areas. I was also responsible for the social, emotional and educational needs of the children. I took them to swimming lessons, gymnastics, the park and any medical or general appointments as necessary. When they began kindy I tutored them in literacy 1 afternoon per week until their family relocated tp Brazil. They have since relocated to Canada and I maintain regular contact with them. For the last 8 years, I have been with a family with three daughters, twins who are now 8.5 and their sister who is just under two years older than them. My role in this household began as much the same as with the triplets, but now that all girls are in full time school my role has morphed a bit. I am now also responsible for, pickups, after school activities, homework/reading, preparation of all lunches and snacks for the next day, as well as prep and serving of dinner and ensuring baths/showers and teeth are done. I have also been with another family for 3.5 years. The twins in that family are 5.5 years old. They are now starting full time school which will leave me with some day time availability. I have some slots available during the 2024/25 Christmas holidays.

From Term 1 2025 I will be available Monday Wednesday and Thursday from 9.30-2 and all day Tuesdays and Fridays week 1 of term and until 2 on week 2 . School holidays by negotiation.

My ideal family would have 1-3 children (newborn to 4) and be looking for a long term professional Nanny. *Please note I am not available for after school care.
