If your life inspires just one child,
your life has been a success
Mark Desaux
My deepest thanks to all of the families I’ve had the chance to work with over the years;
with extra gratitude to those who have blessed me with the following testimonials.
It has been an honour to be of loving service to you all
♡
“Gina has been our trusted nanny for three years, bringing joy and reliability to our family.
She infuses each day with excitement, taking our kids on adventurous outings and actively participating in their world.
The children adore her, considering her not just a caregiver but a friend.
Gina’s attentive and respectful nature, coupled with her proactive approach, sets her apart. She goes above and beyond, even helping with household tasks.
Importantly, Gina seamlessly aligns with our family’s culture and values, making her an invaluable and cherished member of our household.
We’re incredibly grateful for her positive impact on our lives”
P. & E. De Zylva, current clients
“We moved to Australia almost 9 years ago and for me having good help has been very important,
being alone on the other side of the world with 2 beautiful girls…
Well with Gina I couldn’t make a better choice. She literally replaces me without many explanations, my girls have been drawn to her from the first day as she carries a sweet, nurturing energy but at the same time light, playful and enthusiastic.
Gina is a very loving person, careful to every child’s needs and open to any kind of conversation, she gives the right support teaching the children discipline and respect.
She has been extremely caring for our family during a very difficult challenging time facing cancer.
She is a nanny on a full spectrum from the care of the children to helping around the house.
I would have no concern to put all my trust in Gina regarding the care of my children,
she has literally become part of our family so far..
Thanks so much from our hearts to yours!”
L. Tomarchio, current client
“Gina has been an amazing and compassionate support to our family.
Our kids adore her, and it’s so wonderful knowing that they’re in such safe, experienced, conscious, and friendly hands when we walk out the door.
She makes the transitions so easy for us,
and she has a special way of finding connection moments with our kids that fill them with confidence in her care.
They have relished and thrived during their time with Gina and are always excited to see her.
I always find them with a big smile when we get back, and that says it all!
Thank you Gina!
E. Webber, occasional client
“Gina is the best. Both my children adore her.
Gina has been part of our family for about a year now and I can’t imagine what we would do without her.
Some of her most compelling traits, and those that are important to me as a mum are: patient, warm but firm on boundaries, fun and playful, helpful and easy going.
Childcare wasn’t for our family, so having Gina with us each week gives me the chance to do my work, and we have the continuity of care and familiarity that is important to us. It’s like having a really good friend look after our precious babies.”
M. Mahon, current client
“Gina is an absolute gift to our family.
Our 3yo son is neurodivergent and very wary of new people.
Gina was patient, respectful and very accepting as she built a trusting relationship with him over time.
She is now able to foster confidence and independence in our gentle soul, they have the most joyful times playing and go on all sorts of little adventures as he feels able.
She does all this whilst somehow also magically tidying and restoring order to our spaces!
In her approach to childcare Gina is fun and imaginative, and always open to feedback.
She is prompt, organised and reliable.
She has also been able to build a lovely relationship with my 7mo daughter and is able to fluidly move between both children depending what our family needs.
I would recommend her far and wide but I want to keep her for myself for many years to come!”
L. Burns, current client
“We have known Gina for the past couple of years, and she has been such an important part of our family.
Her empathic, flexible, fun, and trustworthy nature is such a delight for the children (and us adults).
Gina is incredibly easy to work with and has helped us out immeasurably when it was really needed.
I have observed Gina with many groups of children now in all different types of settings.
She is consistently present, focused on the kids, playful and educational in her approach.
She manages to make the kids feel good about themselves and regularly checks in with them (in a casual yet caring way).
Gina has great style with communicating and she intuitively knows what will work best for all ages.
She is very funny and positive but does not mind navigating structure and boundaries when needed. It is a tricky balance which Gina has perfected!
My children know Gina cares about them, they trust her and they know she has their best interests at heart.
They also respect and love her tremendously.
They miss her when they haven’t seen her for a while.
We are blessed to have Gina in our lives and are so grateful for all the beautiful time we have been able to share.
I could not recommend her highly enough.”
S. Kane, seasonal client
“Words truly do not do Gina justice.
If you have the honour of having Gina join your family circle through her nannying services you’ll see and understand just what I mean.
She has a warmth and child like spark to her that makes her insanely approachable for children and adults alike. My daughter does the sweetest happy squirm every time Gina enters the room.
We are very honoured to have Gina as a part of our daughter’s early childhood. She does her best to understand your family dynamics, your unique parenting style and sees how best she can blend in with your family and your little person.
Gina has such a maternal warm energy and holds spaces for little ones on their good and bad days.
I can not recommend Gina enough, her presence is absolutely soul nurturing!!
This is the kind of human you want around your little people”
A. Galvin, client for 1 year
“Trustworthy. Reliable. Self-motivated. Flexible. Bright.
Gina has always been a tremendous presence – not only with the children, but broadening the entire family’s worldview with her activities, interests and enthusiasm for life.
She has provided a tremendous and positive influence on our son’s young life, such that we think of her as life-long friend.
You won’t regret hiring Gina. In fact, like us, you will likely come to see it as one of the best decisions you’ve made.
She has such zest, passion and dedication that we have no doubt she can succeed at any task that she devotes herself to.”
D. Flitton, client for 5+ years
“Gina is reliable, caring and exceptional, caring for our boys in the most nurturing and kind fashion.
She has fostered in our boys a curiosity in and wonder about the world.
We would recommend Gina without hesitation.
We were very fortunate to have her as a nanny to our boys for so many years.”
A. Osborne, client for 7+ years
“Gina is intuitive, empathic & intelligent.
Having known her for some ten plus years, I highly recommend her ability to care for, inspire & teach children.
In loco parentis there is no-one I’d trust more.”
J. Frederick, fellow childhood educator & dear friend
“Gina cared for our children, now aged 2 and 5, for the most part of three years. She engaged with and nurtured their inquisitiveness. Their days were full of adventure, where she actively participated in their imaginative play and activities.
She was successful in fostering a bond with my youngest who was initially hesitant about being left with somebody new and dealt with two-year-old tantrums with compassion and experience.
Gina has always been happy to assist with laundry and keeping the children’s areas tidy and clean and teaches the children responsibility in involving them in these tasks.
Overall, she has an excellent understanding of the needs and abilities of children and is warm, nurturing, responsive and energetic.”
C. Parfett, client for 3 years
“Gina has a great way with children and really knows how to talk to them.
From the moment she walked through our door I knew she was right for our boys, who can be very shy & took to her right away.
Proactive, reliable, creative & meticulous in letting me know what has gone on during the day – Gina provides loving & responsible care for our boys and does a fantastic job.”
C. Wright, client for 1 year
“Highly motivated and conscientious..
Dedicated, punctual and reliable, and with outstanding feedback from colleagues and supervisors.”
M. MacMaster, teacher & trainer at Gowrie Victoria
“An outstanding child care worker..
Always looking for ideas to help the children whether it be emotionally or to further extend their developmental needs.
The children bond very quickly with Gina in a very positive way, and we have had extensive positive feedback from both the parents and staff.
I feel she has a special gift in terms of working with young children.”
A. Kalivoitis, ABC & Bambini Centre Director, my first Early Childhood roles
