Babysitters in Coburg, VIC

Hi lovely parents! My name is Téa and I am looking for work, either part time or casual. I am heading off to Europe in July and would love to connect with families who need support from mid August onwards as I am graduating from uni and will have lots of extra time on my hands. Ideally, any parents reaching out need someone to babysit/child mind on a regular basis or to help in regards to an upcoming event. Background: I am in my fourth year of uni, graduating at the end of this month with a bachelor of arts at the University of Melbourne. I have majored in psychology, and hope to one day work as an animal assisted therapist for children. Availability: I am available to work most days and most times as shown in the chart. However my availability does fluctuate (I will happily convey any changes with you) as I work as a chess coach in schools and work with 3 lovely families. One that requires before and afterschool help on Mondays and Thursdays, ans the other that require help occasionally. Rate: My rate is $40 per hour, but I charge an extra $10 per hour (ie. $50 per hour) if you are wanting me to stay past midnight or work on a public holiday. Services: 1. Babysitting/child minding 2. Pet sitting/walking 3. Cooking/meal prep 4. Light cleaning 5. Basic homework help 6. Fun! Experience and Qualifications: As I’ve mentioned, I am currently working with three families. One where I look after two young boys aged 7 and 10, another where I look after a 7 yearold girl and 20 month old baby boy, and the third family has two boys aged 5 and 7. However, my experience working with children is much more vast. One of my hobbies growing up was playing chess, and I have fortunately been able to make a job out of it by tutoring primary and secondary school students. I have worked solo with classes of 3 to 20+ students at a time, and in team settings with 400 kids under my care. This means that I have gained a deep understanding as how to work with children who have learning difficulties and behavioural challenges. My work also requires me to have an employee wwcc and first aid certificate in an education and care setting. Upon request I am happy to share these with you. I have my license and can take kids to and from school/sport or any other activities. If I had your permission, I would love to take them to the zoo, park, bowling, etc to keep them entertained and happy. I completely understand if you would prefer to meet me before agreeing to any work and am happy to do so. I can’t wait to hear from you :)

Greetings! I am Jae. I wear many hats, a Nanny being one of them. I love little people and they tend to like me; perhaps because I am naturally inclined to give them active attention. By trade I was a registered Chinese Medicine Practitioner (Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine) and masseuse but changed gears and am now close to being a qualified kindergarten teacher. I love cooking/baking and have a work history in commercial kitchens. It gives me pleasure to feed vegetables to little people; even the ones who need invisible veges in order to achieve this with enjoyment! Before I was engaged in the health field, I was a visual artist (I studied at the VCA) and love being crafty with kids. I am not great at TV but I am good at play doH, painting and dancing. I have worked with Bec's Treehouse Artschool facilitating children's art and craft workshops and facepainting. I have cared for up to three children at once in private homes and have completed placement at two Brunswick kindergartens and a bush kindy with Eco Explorers in 2025. I love being with children on Country. I always clean up as I go and help with basic home chores like washing when possible but your child's safety and happiness is my first priority. I am comfortable caring for children and babes of all ages, from birth and beyond. I volunteered as a doula as I am generally passionate about the miracle of life and making the transition as peaceful as possible for Mum, bub and the whole family. I am very happy to care for siblings in a birth situation. I have also worked with children with complex needs and disabiliites through Interchange Outer East. References available on request. I have a current Working with Children check. Thanks for listening!

I have always loved working with children, ever since I started babysitting at 14 yrs old. I've always found that it's a beautiful balance between caring for and learning from children, and it's nice to know that the parents are either able to focus properly on their work/errands/tasks, or else getting to have a break and enjoy themselves. I have babysat children of all ages, from 3 months to 11 years old, and most recently nannied for a family with a little girl from when she was 3yo to 7yo. I have experience caring for children with asthma, autism and dietary requirements. I can cook as part of my duties as well, and find ways to include the children I work with in ways that are both fun and educational for them. I always find it a joy to work with children and hope that you think I might fit the bill to babysit yours! I am also good with pets, be they dogs, cats, rodents or birds.

I am a reliable, caring, and energetic person with experience in babysitting, cleaning, and cooking.

Through my babysitting experience, I have developed strong patience, communication, and responsibility skills, while also helping with daily routines, meal preparation, and household tasks. I am organised, trustworthy, and able to manage multiple responsibilities calmly and efficiently. As someone with a friendly and positive personality, I love engaging children in creative activities, games, and outdoor play while ensuring their wellbeing and safety are always the top priority.

I know how to create safe environments and encourage activities that get kids away from the screen and use their creativity or just get outside and have fun!

Hi there! I'm Gabby, an energetic, positive, caring and responsible person, looking for babysitting work to complement my part-time Graduate Diploma Psychology degree that I’m doing online! I have babysat and nannied for many amazing families over the last 12 years, and have just finished up in Sydney nannying for a gorgeous 3 year old who I adore and casually for around 6 families in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. I have recently looked after a 2 and 5 year old 2 days per week, doing school and kindy dropoffs as well as lots of fun park, beach and library adventures! In 2023 I completed a course to become an ADHD coach, so for the next year will be nannying while I set up my business, alongside study - as you can tell I love to be busy and learn! I love working with neurodivergent children as I have ADHD and understand additional and specialised needs to support and help them to thrive ❤️ I absolutely love caring for children as I love getting to know the kids I babysit, from the first day where they can often be quite shy, to the point of familiarity, which is really rewarding. I love seeing their unique personalities grow every time I see them, and love how carefree and creative children can be. I also really enjoy baby-sitting because it's always alot of fun, and I enjoy finding fun activities to do, whether it's going to the park, making music, making a cubby house or making artworks. I have taught music to 0-5 year olds at Reddam in St. Leonard’s and Lindfield, as well as teaching K-1 before school music classes in Bondi.

I also do casual evenings for a beautiful family with a 1 year old in Edgecliff, and two children who are 7 and 9 in Edgecliff. I am a creative & energetic person, and I absolutelylutely love to babysit. It brings me so much joy and I love taking care of and nurturing the gorgeous personalities who I get to meet! I would love to hear from you, if I sound like the right fit for your family, and a full CV and references is available :) I have a WWCC & a Police Check

Hi Families, I am a passionate care-giver looking to do some part time nannying/casual baby sitting! Growing up in a large family ignited my love for working with children, and prompted my employment at a Reggia Emilio style childcare facility. I now have extensive experience working with children from ages 6 months - 12 years old as well as a broad knowledge of childcare pedagogies. The specific values of play and creativity in order to explore independence is now instinctive to my care for children. I have worked as a part time nanny for a 1 year old and 3 year old, as well as having extensive experience in general baby sitting within my community. I consider myself a warm, fun, loving and creative carer, who genuinely enjoys being around children. Whilst I love to have fun, I am cautious of the safety expectations when caring for young children and will always make this my priority. I am competent in changing nappies, calming children etc and whilst I don't hold a drivers license I do know how to put on a good monster voice for a bedtime story!
