Babysitters in Collingwood, VIC

Hello! My name is Gabriela (Gabby), I am 29 years old, and I just moved to Melbourne in November. I am currently looking for a babysitter or nanny position. I have extensive experience in childcare, working with children from newborns to 13-year-olds. I have had the opportunity to work as an au pair twice in Spain, where I took care of children between the ages of 9 months and 4 years. I am very comfortable being with children on my own and ensuring they are happy, safe, and well taken care of. Currently I‘m staying with my best Friend (who lives in Essendon) and my Boyfriend (who lives in Collingwood), until I find my own Space in beautiful Melbourne. I am fluent in English, and my native language is German. I look forward to hearing from you! Best regards, Gabby

Reliable babysitter with over 7 years of experience, including babies and kids, who encourages fun, caring and creative activities to aid children’s growth. Committed to maintaining a clean, secure, and organized environment. Also speak fluent Spanish and some Portuguese.

My name is Mayara and I´m graduated in art with specialization in Theatre. I’ve been working as a nanny since I moved to Australia. I’m now studying an Early Childhood Diploma. Almost two years experience: care for three girls and a boy, aged 4, 6, and 11. My routine with the children included focusing on homework, going to the library and reading books, going to the park to encourage physical activity, and helping with bath time. Help with cleaning the house to maintain a clean and healthy environment for the children. Help with meal preparation (except meat). People have always described me as an enthusiastic, reliable, multifaceted professional, and a person with emotional intelligence. I speak portuguese, english, and now I´m also learning spanish. Hope to hear from you.

I have 3 years experience working as a babysitter for children aged from 3-8 and am comfortable with tasks such as preparing meals, assisting with homework, and managing bedtime routines. I am also certified in First Aid (if applicable), which ensures I am prepared in the event of an emergency. I strive to create an environment where your children have fun and feel safe and am energetic, reliable and honest.

I'm a student looking for some part time nanny work. Ideally long term as this line of work is something I value. I love kids, I think it's such a beautiful thing to witness someone learning about the world. I've done nannying on and off since I was 12 and taught dancing for 3 years to a range of ages so not phased easily. Would love to meet your family and see if it's the right fit.

Hi there! I am a Canadian on working holiday in Melbourne with lots of experience with children of all ages.

Hey there! My name is Mel. I'm an educator in the performing arts, with a passion for music, theatre, and learning and have +10 years of experience in childcare, nannying and babysitting. I'm a performer and teacher by trade, with qualifications from NIDA (The National Institute of Dramatic Art) and the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and I hold a Masters degree in Performance Teaching from The University Of Melbourne. I have very real connections with families I've met through this website, and have been taking jobs from Find A Babysitter for years, so I have lots of positive reviews to speak to the natural affinity I have with kids! I nannied consistently for a beautiful family with two toddlers over the past last two years and have also worked as an Educator/Carer at the popular Kool Kidzz holiday program, an Educator and Carer at Penleigh & Essendon Grammar School in the music and drama programs and as an Arts & Crafts teacher in shopping centre workshops. I'm a genuinely enthusiastic, warm, bubbly and playful person who adores playing with children (and is happy to, for hours on end!) but can be equally firm and instil boundaries when required. I'm totally unfazed by a noisy, busy household and pets are never a problem (in fact, always a plus). I would love to hear from you if you think I might be a lovely fit for your family's needs! I am always looking for casual babysitting work, so feel free to reach out! Best, Mel

Since relocating, I am now seeking opportunities with families within 10 km of my area. I’m available during the day on Tuesdays and Fridays. I’m a trilingual speaker.

Hi Families! I’m Dominique ! Currently I am 21 years old, only having moved to Melbourne around 3 months ago from the country town of Rochester. I am currently working part time at the Royal Children’s hospital which I absolutely love, it's very rewarding! I would love to eventually return to uni and pursue a carer in paediatrics allied health as I feel like I have grown to love that environment and have an impact on the care they receive.

One of the past families I used to care for on a regular basis was a family of 2 children, ages 5 and 3, I feel I was able to grow a beautiful bond with the kids and loved how excited they were to see me on the days i would babysit them! I would entertain them through various activities, including inside and outside games, going to the park, as well as some quiet time as it is sometimes needed! I have experience with children as young as 6 months old, and have juggled up to 3 kids at time!
