A little bit about me

Hi there! My name is Estelle, and I’m a 25-year-old student with a big heart for children and families. I’ve been working with kids for over three years, along with earlier volunteer work supporting underprivileged children in rural communities. Those experiences really shaped my love for nurturing, teaching, and bringing a sense of joy and stability to little ones.

I’m fluent in English and Afrikaans, CPR and first aid certified, and comfortable supporting children with disabilities. I also love keeping kids engaged with activities—whether it’s reading stories, playing outdoors, or helping with learning. On top of that, I’m very pet-friendly, so furry family members will get plenty of love from me too!

I’m currently looking for a new family to work with preferably starting in the new year and would be so happy to bring patience, care, and positive energy into your family’s routine. Please feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect!

A little bit about me

I'm a hard-working 20 year old man with a passion for childcare and making a positive impact in others lives. I found that nannying has given me this fulfillment and makes me feel like I'm doing good in the world. In my free time I read, write lyrics, and sing! Being a man can feel like it sets me back in this field of work, but I know that I possess what it takes to be an amazing nanny, great friend, and exemplary role model to your children.

*Covid 19 vaccine (4 doses).
*Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED Certification.
*Tep Tox-Dihp-Axel Pertussis A (Principal).
*XR Chest AP-TB Test: Negative.

A little bit about me

Hello,

I have cared for children who had and didn't have special needs like Autism and Cerebral Palsy. I have also cared for twins and children between the ages of six months and 17 years old. I worked at a specialty school as an assistant and driver, and I volunteered at a school for def students.

I am Trustline, which is a more thorough FBI background check that is run every
3 - 4 months, starting from age zero. Parents have used that instead of paying for their own background check but its not a problem if you'd prefer one or both. I have done Live Scan as well. I have a new car and I only caused one fender bender in over 30 years of driving.

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accept part-time, or full-time positions. I am also open to infrequent requests, date nights, emergency coverage, being on-call, etc.
