I am a 25 year old teacher who is compassionate and caring. I love working with children, this is reflected in my academic and professional life studying Bach Science / Master Teaching and working at a Melbourne high school. Additionally, I have two years of baby sitting experience for one family of two children both under the age of 6.

This role has provided me with great communication and motivation techniques to use when working with children. I have a reliable car, WWCC and level 2 first aid.

Hi lovely parents! My name is Téa and I am looking for work, either part time or casual. My time with a family I worked with for 1 1/2 years is slowing down drastically in the new year as their baby boy will be attending childcare. 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 third year of uni, studying a bachelor of arts at the University of Melbourne. I major 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 casual babysitting once every month or so after hours. A second that requires weekly help on Tuesdays from 3pm till 6:30pm. And the third required before school help from Monday through to Friday from 7:30am till 11am but will soon only require casual help for event nights. 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 10 and 13, another where I look after a 7 yearold girl and 14 month old baby boy, and the third family has two boys aged 4 and 6. 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 :)

Hi, I've recently graduated a Masters of Education (primary).

Happy to help with housework, homework and meal prep etc. Please reach out if you feel I would be a good fit for your family :) Feel free to contact me on - 0475064270.

I have ten years experience working with babies and children of all ages, including supporting parents during the post natal phase, supporting babies with sleep disturbances and supporting children with disabilities in the home and at school. I’m a quiet natured person with a lot of patience and love for kids. I have knowledge and skills in art, music, gardening / nature and science and would be suited to caring for kids who enjoy related activities. I can support children with communication and learning delays and am willing to take the time to understand and meet their needs. I very much enjoy being part of a family and watching kids learn and grow.

Hello! My name is Caitlin and I currently work as an Education Support worker at a primary school. I am hoping to find some casual babysitting work. I have previous experience working in childcare and as a nanny. I really enjoy spending time with children, and have a strong passion for child learning and development. Hope to hear from you!

Hello there! A little about me: I’m a compassionate, friendly, and caring person who is responsible and patient. I have a high spirit and a passion for life, remaining optimistic at all times. I am determined and confident in my abilities. Helping children grow in a healthy, happy, and safe environment is very important to me and comes naturally. I believe in educating children about right and wrong, as well as instilling great manners, which I encourage strongly. I have worked for many families in Australia and overseas, and I have also raised my own four children, including a set of twins, who are now wonderful young adults—educated, intelligent, and well-respected individuals (though I may be biased!). Throughout my many years of experience, I have cared for over a dozen families and have also worked with children who are hard of hearing, autistic, or battling leukemia. In addition to childcare, I do light housekeeping, including cooking and baking, which I truly enjoy, although it depends on the time available. I’m happy to assist with all ages of children; they are all lovely and unique in their own ways, and each presents its own delightful challenges. My previous occupations, aside from being a nanny, include laboratory assistant, fitness instructor, hospitality worker, caterer, receptionist, retail manager, administration officer, and integration aide. Although I am 58 years old, I am full of energy, fit, and healthy, and I embrace a healthy lifestyle, which keeps my outlook on life youthful! I have excellent references from previous and current employers who can verify my experience and work ethic as a nanny and educator. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss your family's needs. I look forward to hearing from you! Many thanks, Maria 😊

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!
