Babysitters in Cockatoo, VIC

I am currently studying a Bachelor of Primary and Secondary Education and I'm passionate about working with children and families. I have experience nannying, babysitting, tutoring and home educating and I am also happy to help with cooking, housework, driving, etc.

My names Emma. I am 19 years old and currently looking for fun ways to earn money to support myself during my studies. I've always loved children, and I've volunteered to sit for friends and family whenever I can. I mostly have experience with children 8 and upwards, but I also have experience with young family members. DUring high school I was a college leader, which gave me oppurtunities to work with the younger year levels, participate in activities with them and help them with schoolwork. I currently have another job, plus university, but depending on where you live I can do most mornings.

Hi there 😊 Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I genuinely love spending time with children, and I've worked with all ages. From newborns to teenagers. I've had a lot of experience with babies and toddlers so I'm very comfortable and confident with feeding, bathing, changing, and bedtime routines. I also have experience with twins and with using responsive settling to help resolve sleeping issues, so if you're struggling at night or need an extra hand in those early stages, please reach out. My style is warm hearted, kind, patient, nurturing and loving. I practice meditation and mindfulness which flows through to my work and allows me to maintain peace and calm when faced with challenges. I am encouraging and enthusiastic with children, which allows them to blossom and shine in their own unique ways. I love being outdoors and an average day with me usually includes a walk to the local park, nature reserve, cafe, or at the very least a run around the backyard. I also enjoy outings to the Collingwood Children's Farm, Scienceworks, the Museum, the local Library and many more adventures when time permits. I've worked as an au pair in France, a volunteer teacher in Nepal, and a nanny and babysitter in Melbourne. I have a reliable car, I'm willing to travel and I can provide reliable references. *I have been first aid trained for nearly 20 years now and will be updating my certificate soon* Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best in finding that perfect nanny or babysitter to suit your family.

Hi I'm Elida! I am a 19 year-old university student and I am seeking casual/part time babysitting work whilst I complete my Bachelor in Early Childhood and Primary Education. Looking after children has always been a prominent part of my life as I have been babysitting casually in the last 5 years and have been a Diploma-qualified OSHC educator for over a year now. I have a very interactive, nurturing approach to looking after children. Whether that includes identifying when kids need help learning something new, working through any big emotions or playing games with them - building meaningful relationships with children is very important to me as an educator since I am always willing to put in that extra effort to fully participate in any hobbies or activities they enjoy. I look forward to meeting your family soon! :)

I am 22 years old with 1+ years of experience of babysitting my cousins who are between ages 5-12 years old. I have a natural love for children, and am extremely responsible, caring and bubbly! My availability is super flexible so let me know what works best for you! Kind Regards, Elysia Mietzcke

Hi, I’m Shae, I’m 18 years old, and just looking for a part time job to work around high school before I head off to uni next year. I have lots of experience looking after kids, as I have 4 younger siblings, 14 younger cousins, and I’m a sunday school leader at my church.

Hi Families! 🩷 My name is Willow, I’m an 19 year-old nanny based in Belgrave South and I’m currently looking to take on a beautiful new family for either part-time, casual or ongoing care throughout the week 🌸 I’ve been nannying and babysitting for over 2 years now and have experience with children ranging from newborns right through to around 8 years old. Over the past year I’ve been caring for a family with three children aged 4, 5 and 7, and before that I cared for two little boys from the time one was only a newborn 🥹 Being able to grow with families and become someone their children feel safe, excited and comfortable around is honestly the most rewarding thing ever to me. I know I’m young, but I truly think that’s one of the reasons kids connect with me so naturally 🤍 I bring a really fun, energetic and comforting “big sister” kind of presence into a home while still being responsible, calm and nurturing when needed. I love getting involved in all the little things kids enjoy — whether that’s dancing in the kitchen, building cubby houses, playground adventures, baking, crafts, movie nights or just sitting on the floor playing for hours 🫶🏼 I also really understand that children have huge emotions in tiny little bodies. I’ve sat through the toddler meltdowns over the wrong coloured cup, the overtired tears, the big feelings after school and the moments where they simply just need patience, comfort and someone safe beside them. I never believe in making children feel silly for their emotions and always try to approach situations with calmness, understanding and reassurance 🌿 I’m very confident with all day-to-day routines including school pick-ups/drop-offs, bedtime routines, baths, dinner prep, bottles, nappy changes, homework help and keeping little ones entertained in ways that are fun but still supportive for their development ✨ I’m also very reliable, organised and happy to help wherever I can around the house to make life easier for parents — whether that’s tidying up after the kids, preparing meals, folding washing or helping keep routines running smoothly 🤍 I have my own reliable car (brand new MG SUV), am confident transporting children and am happy to travel for the right family. I can also provide references from previous families upon request 🥰 If I sound like someone who could be a lovely fit for your family I would absolutely love to chat further! Please feel free to send me a message anytime 💌
