Babysitters in Elsternwick, VIC

I am originally from the UK, and I have been in Australia for nearly a year. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to work in such a beautiful country. My background is in early years, and I have been working with children since 2016 in various capacities. I am a bubbly, empathetic, caring individual, and I have a nurturing, enthusiastic approach to working with children. I like to create a positive, and calming environment for children to learn and grow within. I have worked as a teaching assistant with a child with additional needs, this gave me a lot of experience with adaptability and emphasised the need for a flexible approach to learning. I have been an au pair for three different families, working with children aged 6 months, up to 4 years old. I have cared for multiple children at one time, including caring for twins. I believe understanding the child’s routine within the home is a crucial part of helping families with their day to day lives. As I have volunteered for a family based charity, I understand how important it can be to have people to support families, especially in the early years. I have a wide range of skills, and I am eager to put them into practice. I have a strong work ethic, kindness, patience, and a strong passion for working with children. I am currently working as a barista part time, and i am looking to pick up occasional nanny/babysitting work.

Hi there, my name is Renee and I am a newly graduated Registered Nurse. I am commencing my graduate nurse program in July and am currently seeking nanny and babysitting opportunities in the meantime. I have extensive experience working with children, including employment as a primary school nurse, coaching gymnastics for toddlers and young children, and completing nursing placements in an emergency department caring for both paediatric and adult patients. I hold a current drivers licence and have my own safe and reliable car, as well as a valid Working With Children Check, First Aid and CPR certification, and training in anaphylaxis and asthma management. With my nursing background, safety is always my top priority, and I am confident managing emergencies, medications, and health needs if required. I am a bubbly, outgoing, and reliable person who loves connecting with people, especially children. Over the next six months, I am hoping to do something a little different before starting full-time nursing, while still doing what I love most, caring for others. I am nurturing, patient, and always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello! My name is Remy, currently on a working holiday with the Netherlands being my home country. I'm a warm, playful young man who loves adventure (hence my travels) and learning from other people about their passions. I finds children's autonomy important. This means I try to let the kids make decisions and get them to be aware of the results of those decisions. Beside that, I really try to avoid using the inhibitory phrase 'I'll do that for you' too often. That being said, I am stern with boundaries, which is also important to set expectations on how the world works. I like spending time outside the most, which is where my skills lie as I've been an animator for a youth organization and a daycare where outside play was a strong focus.

Hi there! I am very excited about meeting and getting to know you. ABOUT ME: I have been providing childcare over the past 22 years. The last 9 of those years, I have been a Nanny. I have worked with many different families: with 1-4 children; twins with a younger sibling, all girls, all boys, brothers & sisters; with an age range of 9mths - 12 years old. As all children & families are different I like to stay adaptable, to meet the needs of the unique situation. Some children are runners, some are quite contemplators, others always need to be crafting and creating big cardboard constructions, while another is quite happy to sit while colouring in and drawing for hours on end. However they all ask questions non stop, lols. And I love that because of their curiosity I learn as well; from having to google the answers to the questions I don’t know, e.g. I now know the oldest living animal is the Greenland shark, and it is guessed to have a lifespan of 250-500 yrs. With the current oldest one guessed to be 300 years old! But I only learned this because one child I looked after LOVED the ocean and all its wonders. :) I find I lean towards the Montessori Method of teaching children. I follow the theme of their current interest for play, games and conversations, and I like to incorporate their current obsession, be it space or dinosaurs into our word & math games and everything else we do together. MORNING ROUTINE; breakfast, lunch boxes, school bag packing, day-care/kinder/school drop offs -For the little ones when at home and not at daycare/kindy. I like to have our week planned. Be it excursions to the zoo, park, an indoor play center, library time or classes that helps their development: that the parents have enrolled them into, or I have found that the Mum’s & Dad’s like; e.g. Gymbaroo, Ready steady go, All Sports etc., to activities we can do at the house like baking or painting or even a playdate with their friend/s. HOUSE MANAGEMENT; groceries, maintenance of pantry & basic medicine (ie expiry dates & organisation), light laundry duties, light house keeping, tiding up after myself & the little ones, keeping the kitchen clean & hygienic, school holiday & pupil free day planning, meal planning, food & meal prep (dietary requirements taken into consideration) multi-tasking and other Ad-Hoc tasks. AFTERNOON ROUTINE; networking with other parents & carers at the children’s school- that the children are friends with or do extra curriculum’s with, extracurricular coordination (this is where the networking can sometimes help with car pooling & swapping weeks), planning of play dates, supervise-assistance with homework and practice for their extra curriculum’s. With additional extras from me if wanted/needed or time permits (eg. Music theory, maths etc.) ***I have help children further develop their music skills with my attention and knowledge than what they receive in a 30min class once a week. And I have helped with further development of their Math & literacy skills. HOWEVER my proudest achievement was somehow managing to help my French charge (when an AuPair in Paris) go from an almost F (from her former AuPair) in her French Class to an A. While I was only at a very basic beginner level with my own French skills. * haven’t figuered out how/where to add this in yet. So I’m just plopping it in for now. I gained experience with home schooling during COVID from 2020-2022. With all the families I worked with during all the Melbourne lockdown peroids. EVENING ROUTINE; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine.

I enjoy art and crafts and find creating games with the kids a great way to bond. I enjoy working with Children and am looking forward to getting to know your little ones! I have worked with kids of all ages so am comfortable with all parameters. I don't have a car but am happy to help with morning routines and school drop off/ pick up via public transport if required. Please don't hesitate to message and ask for any further information. I look forward to hearing from you 😊

Almost retired, and still with a lot of energy. This is a big reset for me (knowing that my circumstance , now with an older daughter who is already independent)have changed. Although I have no professional baby-sitting experience in my resume, I have to say I love being around children, and am proud to have cared for my daughter , and have helped raised and cared for a niece and a nephew. I like doing my domestic chores (a household of 3) from cleaning, gardening, vacuuming, ironing/laundry, cooking, bedroom grooming, and will be comfortable doing these for a job, on top of caring for the baby/children as a priority, with care and respect. I have a very reliable car, have been driving for the last 25 years(with a clean record), and I have a current Working With Children Certificate (WWC) as a volunteer. If it helps with my application, I am willing to go for a baby sitting trial even without pay. I am up for an interview and suggested trial as i understand the importance of blending well with the dynamics of your family life style/work/domestic requirements. I hope to hear from your soon.

I am an experienced nanny/babysitter, awesome communicator (work in HR full time), organised and most importantly adore children. If you require an experienced nanny/babysitter, on weekends and the occasional week night. Please reach out.

With a warm and caring personality, I am eager to take care of your children. I easily connect with kids because I love playing with them. As a foreigner, language is not a barrier for me.
