Babysitters in Carlton, VIC

I am a 20 year old uni student studying in melbourne. i have lots of little cousins and have some done casual babysitting in the past! i am also currently working as a waitress but would love to take on some more babysitting / nannying jobs in my spare time. I also have a car and a employee WWCC.

I am a caring, reliable, and responsible babysitter with experience looking after children of all ages. I always make sure they are safe, happy, and well cared for. I enjoy engaging kids in fun and creative activities such as reading, drawing, and outdoor play. I can also help with preparing meals, light cleaning, and bedtime routines. Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. I am First Aid and CPR certified and always aim to create a positive, supportive, and nurturing environment for every child in my care.

As an experienced Early Childhood Educator and accomplished Musician, I bring over 13 years of expertise in nurturing and educating young children. I have recently returned to Melbourne after spending 2 years overseas. Previous to this I worked at Isabel Henderson Kindergarten as an Early Childhood Educator and Music Specialist. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working with children in a variety of settings, including kindergartens across Melbourne's inner north and as a nanny for several families. I maintain strong relationships with all of my previous employers, who can provide glowing references. I value the importance of my experience and skills, which is reflected in my pay rate. I am happy to assist with cleaning, laundry, and cooking. As a vegetarian, I specialise in plant-based cooking, and my experience with preparing meat-based dishes is limited.

I am an experienced, caring nanny confident working with children of all ages. I enjoy creating a safe, calm, and positive environment where children feel secure, supported, and happy. I am reliable, patient, and value trusting, long-term relationships with families. I have over six years of childcare experience supporting daily routines, safety, and wellbeing through play-based learning, including supervision, behaviour guidance, meals, hygiene, and age-appropriate activities. I hold a valid WWCC, police check, and current First Aid, CPR, and Anaphylaxis certificates. I am a confident driver, up to date with flu and COVID vaccinations, and have several strong parent references, as needed.

Hi! I’m Clare. I'm a responsible and trustworthy babysitter with experience caring for children of different ages. I’ve recently moved back to Melbourne after graduating from the Australian National University with a Bachelor of International Relations. While living in Canberra, I regularly babysat two girls (aged 5 and 8), helping with homework, creative play, reading, and maintaining routines. I’m calm, patient, and very safety-focused, while still being fun and engaging. I’m organised and reliable communicating with both children and parents. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a safe, positive environment for your children.

Hi Families! My name is Leila, I am 24, and originally from Scotland! I am a warm, passionate and experienced Early Years (Childcare) Assistant for 2.5 years, a Maths and English Tutor/holiday camp leader for ages 5-15 for over a year. I also hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology! My job at Thrive childcare and education involved caring for and engaging with children from all walks of life, from the ages of 6 months to 5 years old (A job I absolutely loved!). Day to day, I created and got involved in new and engaging child-centred, creative and imaginative activities both indoors and out. My job also included personal care, such as changing and toileting support and overseeing mealtimes positively and safely. Alongside this, I tutored 5 to 15-year-olds in Maths and English at 'Kevs Class Tutoring', focusing not on academic outcomes but on building trusting relationships with parents and children to build confidence in these subjects. In the holidays, I also assisted in creating and running fun activity day camps for the same children, which was lots of fun! My degree in Psychology really kick-started my interest when learning about child development as part of my course, and the importance of a positive, fun and supportive environment and the carers a child is surrounded with. I absolutely love guiding and engaging children, and I find building relationships with both the children and their families such an important and rewarding part of the job. References for both jobs can be provided upon request. Don't hesitate to reach out if the above seems like a good fit for you and your child/children, I look forward to hearing from you! Best wishes, Leila

Hi Families! My name is Molly, I am 21 years old and I live in Carlton but I grew up in Wangaratta Victoria. I am currently in my third year at university and I have just begun my degree in nutrition science, working towards becoming a peadiatric dietitian. I also currently work at the Royal Childrens Hospital, and before moving to Melbourne, I completed a gap year working at a General Practice. My boss who is a GP at the practice, also happens to be the family I babysat for whilst I was still living at home. I was taking care of their 3 year old boy Harrison, who loved going to the park, playing games and cooking! I have occasionally worked with kids between newborns, all the way up to 12 years old, so I have had a variety of experience. I adore playing with the kids I babysit, I am a very active and outgoing person and I am very switched on with their needs and emotions. I have helped out with a lot of homework, bedtime routines, engaging activities as well as downtime. I am also experienced in caring for children with disabilities and behavioural needs. I would be so excited for the opportunity to meet your family in the near future! Thankyou!

Hi there, This is just a small snapshot of one of the people you’re considering trusting with your child. I’m a qualified early childhood and primary teacher with over 10 years’ experience working across 0-3 early years, kindergartens, primary schools, and special education settings. I have recently moved into a casual teaching position to have some flexibility in my days, while still doing what I love. My practice is trauma-informed, inclusive, and grounded in safety, connection, and respect. I support children to build confidence, emotional intelligence, and self-regulation through calm guidance, play, and co-regulation. I bring art, music, storytelling, dancing, and laughter into each day - alongside early literacy, numeracy, body safety, sensory supports, and social learning. I’ve worked closely with families and professionals across a range of complex needs, including Child Protection Services, NDIS, Cohealth, and allied health teams. I’ve supported children through challenging behaviours, medical incidents, and big life transitions - always with care, empathy, and professionalism. I also offer homework support up to Grade 4 and love helping children who may need that little bit of extra time, patience, or understanding. Most of all, I aim to be someone both you and your child feel safe with - consistent, kind, fun, and trustworthy. ☺️ P.s. Happy to provide my full resume and family references post initial contact.

I am a 21 year old PR recent graduate living in Carlton, I am originally from Geelong and moved to Melbourne in 2023. I love kids and have babysat for families since I was young. I am hardworking, reliable, flexible and would love to help you out !

I have always looked after my cousins since they were born, and for a few years I also worked as a babysitter. I like playing with them, taking care of them, and growing up together while sharing simple but meaningful moments. Spending time with children has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to see the world from a different perspective. I believe that very often it is children who teach adults important things: spontaneity, honesty, and the ability to be happy with little. Growing up alongside them has been an experience that has greatly enriched me over time and in my personal growth.

I am a responsible and reliable individual with a genuine interest in supporting children’s learning and wellbeing. I have completed my Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care and gained three months of placement experience working with children of all age groups. This experience helped me understand different developmental stages and how to respond to children’s needs with patience and respect. I enjoy engaging children in creative and play-based activities such as drawing, storytelling, and outdoor play. I always prioritise safety and create a calm, positive environment. I communicate well with both children and families, and I am committed to providing trustworthy babysitting support.
