Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hello! I'm Marcy and I was an English teacher in the UK for four years. As a teacher, I prided myself on creating fun and inclusive environments for my students. I have taught and worked with a range of students with various medical and learning needs but I believe that every child deserves a trustworthy adult they can go to if they need to. I am now in Melbourne on a working holiday visa, looking to utilise my skills in childcare. I am flexible but I do work at a restaurant some evenings so I might not be available some evenings. I look forward to working with you!

Looking for: Casual Babysitting

My name is Jemma and I am 36 years of age. I have worked with children of all ages ranging from newborn babies all the way up to 15 years of age. I have experience working in many different areas such as nanny care, before and after school care, crèche care, volunteer work in a primary school, childcare, working with children under the guardianship of the minister, as well as many years of babysitting. I was born and raised in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. I am the youngest of four daughters, and I come from a very large extended family. I am very close with my family, particularly my sisters and cousins. I strongly believe that family is the most important thing and I am very proud and feel very blessed to be a part of my family. I consider myself to be an outgoing and fun-loving Child Care Worker who enjoys spending as much time as possible outside and taking the children on trips to places like the park or library. I also enjoy spending one on one time with the children, which can include reading with them, or participating in craft activities with them. One of my favourite things about being a nanny/babysitter is being able to teach children new skills and giving them lots of praise so they can confidently grow and develop into the best people they can be. I always keep a clean and tidy home and happy to help around the house with vacuuming and doing laundry etc. I love working with children and have always had a natural connection with them. I enjoy creating strong bonds and unique relationships with all the children I care for. I love the fact that no child is alike and that all children I work with have different abilities and skills. I know that with the right love, affection and support, every child can achieve great things. I have a very relaxed personality, but I am a very active person and I enjoy exercising and living a healthy lifestyle. Some of my other interests include spending time outside, dancing and music, watching foreign films and creative writing. I am an honest and reliable person who has strong values and morals. I believe that no matter where you come from, everyone is equal and deserves to be given the same opportunities. I am a loving friend who enjoys encouraging and supporting the people around me. Out of all my child related experiences, being a nannying/babysittering is by far the most rewarding work I have done. It is a wonderful thing to be invited into a family’s home and I look forward to the next opportunity I will have to do this, with great anticipation. If you would like any more information about me, please don’t hesitate to contact me via my email jasser77@hotmail.com or 0423 116 429. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks! Kind Regards,  Jemma

I have worked as a nanny for many years back in my home country (Mexico). I believe it prepared me to be able to work with children, however, by being a teacher I have learned much more than ever, since I have developed more creativity and patience by working with so many children of different ages, as well as many psycho-pedagogical techniques to teach and experiende on how to treat children in different situations. I love cooking and especially baking, I love swimming and watching movies. My favorite outings are going to the movies, going to a cafe or enjoying nature. I also love animals and Science. As a nanny, I consider myself to be quite easy going but firm, patient and I love teaching new things to children. I am also available for tutoring and help with homework! I am available for a nanny position either as permanent or casual position. I live in Essendon and I move by public transport or by bike. I am also currently studying an English course but right now my schedule is flexible and we can talk and arrange :) Please feel free to leave me a message and I can tell you more about myself.

Looking for: Full-time,Casual Babysitting

**permanently booked as of June 2025** **Available for casual babysitting on weekends upon request - please contact directly for availability as I do book up very quickly during the months** *refererences available* Hi, I’m Sarah. I am a professional private nanny and household manager with over 10 years’ experience as a nanny and 15 years in the corporate sector. I am a mother to a now 23-year-old daughter, who has graduated with honours from Deakin University, allowing me to genuinely empathise with parents and understand children’s developmental needs across all stages. I have spent the past 8 years nannying long-term for one family, caring for their children from infancy through to school age (now 10, 8, and 4). I supported the children through night routines, childcare and school transitions, extracurricular activities, and major milestones. As the youngest child has now commenced kindergarten/daycare, the family and I have reached a natural and heartfelt transition point. Alongside this role, I am currently supporting a corporate single father, where my responsibilities include overnight care when required, international travel, and full household support. I am also engaged two days per week with an additional family, working 12-hour days, and pre-booked in weekly batches to support their son on an ongoing basis. ⸻ Experience & Duties My experience extends well beyond childcare and includes: • Full-time and long-term nannying (0–10 years) • Household management and running private residences • Acting as EA support to a corporate single father • Domestic and international travel with families • Overnight and sleepover care • School and activity pick-ups/drop-offs • Weekend and extended-hour care (including 12-hour shifts) • Post-hospital care and recovery support • Creating and implementing educational and developmental activities • Swimming lessons, gymnastics, homework support • Cooking for children and families, including specific dietary requirements • Meal prep, batch cooking, laundry, ironing, cleaning and full household organisation I am highly organised, punctual, flexible, and calm under pressure, with a strong understanding of discretion and confidentiality, including working under NDAs with high-end families. ⸻ Personal Approach I am warm, nurturing, structured, and gentle, always following parents’ preferences and routines. I strongly believe in open communication and working collaboratively with parents to ensure children receive consistent, high-quality care. I am equally comfortable supporting single-parent households, understanding the additional flexibility and individual considerations required. I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including autism. ⸻ About Me Outside of work, I enjoy Pilates, spending time with family and friends, and daily walks with my Moodle, Murphy. I am energetic, empathetic, kind, and genuinely love what I do. In over 8 years of professional nannying, I have never once not enjoyed going to work. To put it simply, I adore children. They are our future, and preserving their innocence, safety, and happiness is something I deeply value. I hope to be someone children remember fondly as they grow older—with warmth, joy, and beautiful memories.
