Chloe
Hi. I’m Chloe. I’ve worked in the early childhood industry for a decade. I currently work as a kindergarten teacher and inclusion support at a Steiner school in Mullumbimby. I am an advocate for childhood and believe it should be play-based and predominantly outdoors. I have a 7 year old step-son and a lively Golden Retriever. My favourite days are those spent with my family, going to the farmers market, being outside, reading and hiking. I look forward to connecting with your family soon 🤍
Carly
Hi, I’m Carlota but most people call me Carly. I’m a 25-year-old qualified primary teacher from Spain! Sports have surrounded me, so I started as a ski teacher when I was 16. Meanwhile, I was studying to be a dance teacher and when I was 18, I finished the Royal Academy of Dance degree and started working as a dance teacher in a school. Also, I studied in Spain for a degree as a Physical Education teacher for a Primary School at La Rioja University and finished in 2019. Why do I do all of this? Because I’ve grown up with people who love teaching and looking after kids, I feel lucky to have had this education that I would like to transmit as a teacher and babysitter to my future students and kids. I am a happy girl, responsible, careful with the details, open-minded, always ready to help, flexible and always thinking about what is best for the children. I promise I would like to care for your children with love and like they are my own. I look forward to meeting your family.
Ella
Hi, I’m Ella. I have been babysitting for the better part of 8 years. I can genuinely say that working with children brings me immense joy. I love engaging with kids of all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. In addition to babysitting, I also teach piano to young children. Watching them discover the excitement and thrill of music is incredibly rewarding. I strive to bring that same enthusiasm and energy to my babysitting, ensuring every child feels valued and cared for. I look forward to meeting your family and creating beautiful experiences together.
Stav
Hi, I’m Stav, I’m a proud Tallai local with over 20 years of experience in child and youth care. From Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) to private nannying and youth support work, I’ve had the privilege of working with children and teens across all ages and walks of life. My mission? To create fun, safe, and meaningful experiences that kids will carry with them long after our time together. I’m a big believer in the power of play and creativity and I bring plenty of both! With a background in music, theatre, and a love of AFL, I love getting silly, singing songs, putting on puppet shows, and jumping into imaginative role-play. My sessions with kids are full of joy, laughter, and learning, because I know that’s when they shine brightest. Outside of work, you’ll find me with my family near the water, soaking up the beauty of the Gold Coast. Whether I’m supporting kids emotionally, engaging them in hands-on fun, or just being a steady, caring presence, they know they can count on me. I look forward to meeting your family

Within the past 10 years I have fostered a family of 5 children from the same family, the youngest being 1 years old and the oldest 10 years for a period of approximately 3 months. I have been an in-home-care educator for several different families over the past 13 years and currently I provide relief In-home-care teaching for a number of other educators.
