Hi! I'm Jessye!

I'll tell you a bit about myself and my journey so far... Melbourne born and bred, I grew up with my mum, who is just the most incredible person i have ever known, so i was pretty lucky. I knew before i was in high school i wanted to work with children and in protecting children. So i started babysitting children in my neighbourhood when i was 14, and just about never looked back!
I worked in Local Government for just over 6 years, across an entire Family Youth & Children Services Organisation, and up until mid 2016 i'd developed a Org Hub and established a full, Functioning and exceeding standard babies room. Before that I assisted in Kindergarten Rooms, 3 Year Old Programs, Sessional, Occasional. Coordinated Vacation Care Programs & long day care. I coordinated, planned and facilitated OSHC & Vacation Care Programs for children from diverse & sometimes disadvantaged circumstances. I was Actively involved in the and development of a major FY&CS Hub in Melbourne & the redevelopment of an additional major centre. As emergency Centre Cook, I've cooked for an array of ages, allergies and dietary requirements in centre based programs catering for groups between 80-120+ children and adolescents.
I have worked with children of different cultures, socio economic backgrounds, ages, abilities and additional needs & I possess all relevant First Aid & CPR Training, Food Handlers, WWCC, Cert 3 Community Services, Cert 3 & Diploma in Children's Services & am currently studying Behavioural Science, Psych online at Swinburne. In addition to these, I have extensive experience working with Children with additional needs, developmental, and neurodevelopment delays, behavioural issue, challenges & concerns.
I loved working in local government and its always been my passion to work with and alongside children and their families creating opportunities to encourage growth, learning, happiness and successes.
Following my resignation from Local Government i focused on studying without work pressure for a few months, but i missed working and all the fun things that come with spending your days with little people full of fun! So, i started working again casually with families, some that i had worked with in centres and some I had done babysitting for ongoing.
In August 2016 i began my first more permanent ongoing Private Nanny position with a beautiful family that I am still in regular contact with. Since then I have worked with 3 other families all on going. My experiences nannying have really just been so wonderful. I am still in regular contact with nearly all the families i've worked closely with both nannying and centre based.
As the family i have worked with for the last 2 years are moving on to primary school and Full time care, I am looking for consistent ongoing part or full time hours. Are you searching for a nanny thats reliable, articulate, outgoing, informed, assertive, efficient and trustworthy, experienced and a really fantastic cook?!
i have a feeling I might be the answer!
I take great pride in my job, it is my passion and the welfare of children from all backgrounds, circumstances and personalities, is always my priority, I believe in a child first approach and focus exclusively on strengthening and growing with the interests of any child individually.
Ever since I can remember, children have gravitated toward me, seen me as their friend, and listened to my direction as I feel they trust my judgements.
growing up with mum, who is kind, caring and gentle natured, nurtured me to value exactly those attributes. I am extremely loyal, kind and caring, creative, helpful, clean, intuitive and responsive.

What parents love about me
I think working with children is what i was meant to do with my life and i think that parents see that i have a hunger to learn and understand, that I'm fun and engaging, that I'm trustworthy, articulate, helpful and always punctual. i think parents like that I'm always communicative and involved in hands on learning and playing.
What kids love about me
I think Children are better judges of character than any adult I've ever met, and i think because i have a warm and safe energy that children trust me, in turn meaning I'm able to have really lasting, fulfilled, envolving and productive relationships with children where they feel safe and nurtured and okay with challenges that might otherwise be intimidating or scary.
What I love about this work
Everything, honestly there isn't anything I've done that i feel so confident and comfortable doing as i do when i work and play with children!
