Looking for: Full-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi, my name is Shauna and I am from rural Ireland. I am the second oldest of nine children so I have lots of experience in a busy household. I have been working with children since I was 17 as a private childminder. I also have my Bachelor Honors Degree in Social Care Practice and have worked previously in Children's Homes. I enjoy art and crafts and find creating games with the kids a great way to bond. I enjoy working with Children and am looking forward to getting to know your little ones! I have worked with kids of all ages so am comfortable with all parameters. I don't have a car but am happy to help with morning routines and school drop off/ pick up via public transport if required.

Looking for: Casual Babysitting

Hi, I’m Isabel. I’ve moved to Melbourne from Ireland this year and am looking for (mostly) casual babysitting and would be available at short notice for most jobs. I teach high school in Ireland but have experience with primary school also. I have years of experience nannying and babysitting in Ireland (mostly during Covid times for frontline workers). I enjoy reading, cooking, baking and many different sports. I have been cleared to VIT to teach in Victoria so therefore have a valid WWCC and a police certificate from Ireland.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi, I am a mature, experienced, active, healthy, happy and passionate carer. I have been looking after children since I was 13. Have two grown up children and 3 grandchildren. Currently working as a Nanny/ PA . I cook, tidy, sort, organize, cater and personally assist with errands for various families already. Now I am ready to fill my available times in my working week.. I have experience with newborns and I can help new mother's also. I can do some casual work in my spare time, or have permanent work, if it fits my weekly workload. I have kept in touch long term with some of the families who I’ve worked for in the past. I have experience from newborn to teenagers. Lately I have been working with babies a lot... I speak, read and write fluent English and Hungarian,( I can understand a very minimal German .)-- also teach and participate in Hungarian folk-dance two evenings a week. Dancing is a big part of my life, it is a great way to keep fit!! Also love gardening, and spending time on the beach...or riding my bike.. I am a MOTIVATED, EXPERIENCED, CARING, RESPONSIBLE, PATIENT, and RELIABLE person with common sense, and good organizing skills. I have worked with a family with multiple children, and have taken sole care of 3 children under 3 years old, including twins and premature newborns. I love children, and they love me too :-) Would prefer daytime work (available from early morning), but I will be happy to do casual hrs as well. You will be surprised what can be achieved in a few hrs in the morning! I can be very flexible for the right family, as all my references will tell you. Family pets are no problem. I have checkable (GREAT) references for you. Looking forward to hearing from you. ****Thank you, and have a great day :). Maria H
