Jenna
Hi, I’m Jenna. I am a joyful Primary School Teacher who lives life to the fullest and enjoys each present moment. I have worked in the education sector for the past 10 years, 3 years as a Prep teacher and 7 years as a relief teacher, going around different schools across Victoria, Queensland and New Zealand. However, I feel most alive when working with children in recreational settings where I can help them have fun and a memorable holiday. Before my time in the classroom, I worked in before/after school care settings, holiday programs and within Kids Clubs on Hamilton Island and with Royal Caribbean Cruise Ships. I get so much satisfaction when I leave, knowing each child has had a fantastic time. Most importantly, I am vigilant regarding safety and will go above and beyond to ensure your child receives the best care. Some of my favourite things include spending time in nature, traveling in my van, attempting to play the guitar, African Drumming, Dancing, Zumba, live music and meditation. I love helping children identify their strengths/interests and incorporating them into our time together. I am also passionate about well-being and assisting children to develop a positive mindset. I love to weave elements of this into the games and activities so children not only walk away with a smile but a sense of self-love and empowerment. I look forward to possibly being a part of your family holiday very soon.
Grace
Hi. I’m Grace. I am passionate about working with kids. I’ve been babysitting on and off since I was 15 years old. I am also a qualified classical ballet teacher with 10 years experience teaching children from 3 years of age through to 18! When I am looking after children my focus is fun for the kids and peace of mind for the parents. I like to play games, read stories, make up dances, colour in and sing songs. I have experience with newborns all the way through to teens. I lived with my sister for the first 6 months of her daughter’s life to help care for her and now I babysit my niece once a week. My outside interests are dancing, yoga, cooking, live music, playing with my dog, swimming in the ocean, bike riding and reading. I look forward to meeting your family x
Irene
Hi, I’m Irene. I hold a university degree in Early Childhood Education. My passion for working with children has shaped every step of my career. I’ve spent two wonderful years teaching in public preschools, leading classrooms of curious five-year-olds through play-based learning, creativity, and discovery. One of the most meaningful parts of my journey has been working with a Spanish association supporting families of children with disabilities. From infants to teens aged 0 to 18, I provided both care and educational support to children with physical and intellectual disabilities, an experience that taught me so much about empathy, adaptability, and the power of individualized care. With over five years of experience as a nanny and babysitter in Spain, and now continuing here in Australia since early 2024, I’ve cared for children of all ages. I also teach Spanish to kids and adults, blending fun activities with language learning to create a truly engaging experience. Since childhood, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. Watching children grow into themselves, learning, laughing, and building confidence, fills me with joy. I believe childhood should be full of imagination, wonder, and gentle guidance. I adore crafts of all kinds and love incorporating creativity into playtime. I also enjoy physical games, reading stories, and imaginative role-play. A fun fact about me: I used to work in a theater and even studied children’s theater at university, so don’t be surprised if your little ones are acting out stories or directing their own plays with me! I look forward to meeting your family.
