Babysitters in Elwood, VIC

Hi! I'm Hannah, I recently gradated from Melbourne Girls Grammar and am entering a law degree at Deakin University. I have a younger sister and brother which I have cared for since I was young, however they are getting older and don't need me as much anymore! My younger brother (now 12) has ASD, and I have become accustomed to managing his behavioural issues and remaining calm when he is tense and giving him space if need be. I recently got my probationary drivers license, which makes travel easier for me and more accessible. I am passionate and caring, I love to have fun and giggles as well as baking and cooking. I enjoy sport and play hockey for MCC. Punctuality and organisation is important to me as well. I have worked in hospitality for 2 years, I do not have experience in professional childcare, but I am looking for casual work when parents need a night out 😊 Feel free to message me for any details!

Hi, my name is Ashleigh and I am 27yrs old living in Elwood. I have experience caring for Children where I have worked as both a nanny and after school care educator. I consider myself to be a patient, warm and energetic person, and most importantly I adore children!

TEACHER AVAILABLE FOR PRIMARY/PRE SCHOOL TUTORING - Hi there :-) I’m an enthusiastic, experienced and reliable teacher on family leave, available for tutoring (in literacy and/or maths for support or extension work). I specialise in Foundation to Year 2 as well as school readiness (4 year old kinder) but have experience tutoring up to Year 5. I use an evidence-based structured literacy (phonics) approach and hands-on maths (linking concrete materials to abstract concepts). I pride myself on my ability to form positive relationships with children, getting to know how they learn, identifying gaps and misconceptions, and helping them achieve their next steps in learning. In my various work experiences - as a primary teacher (8 years experience teaching Prep, Year 1, 2 and 4) and previously as a swim teacher, nanny (5 years), babysitter (15 years) and private tutor (3 years) - children find me to be warm and approachable, and adults often observe that I am diligent and mature. As a teacher, I have all the relevant qualifications (level 2 first aid, asthma and anaphylaxis certificates, WWCC, police check, Covid vaccines etc.). I charge $100 per hour as a tutor or $80 for two children (one after the other). All learning activities are pre-prepared and tailored to your child’s needs. I'm also happy to communicate with their teacher about their goals. I’m available Monday-Saturday. I look forward to hearing from you! Lucy

Hey families, My name is Marnie, and I'm 33, I have over 18 years of experience in teaching, childcare and nannying and find these roles both professionally rewarding as well as consistent with my personal values. In addition, I have a Bachelor of Education (Primary), Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, and a Certificate 3 in Children's Services. Over the past four years, I have been a classroom teacher at a primary school in Brighton East. My role as a teacher has encompassed various aspects of children’s academic, social, and emotional growth. Being a teacher is incredibly rewarding. Not only do you see students’ growth and progress academically, but you can build connections, make a meaningful difference and leave a long-lasting impact on these students' lives. I have a deep understanding of child development, learning styles, and age-appropriate activities. This knowledge allowed me to create engaging and educational experiences for children in my care. I have experience in managing various classrooms and working with diverse groups of students honing my ability to handle different behaviours and adapt to individual needs, ensuring a safe and nurturing environment for the children I care for. But there is one thing I truly miss, caring for children in their home. Being that person in a household who is spreading kindness, care, and support. Before becoming a primary school teacher, I was a nanny. I have worked for several families within Australia and internationally (USA and Canada). My responsibilities included caring for newborn twins, and older children, following routines (including sleep patterns, feeding, and bathing), assisting with household cleaning, driving children to and from after-school activities, assisting with homework, and maintaining close communication with parents. Whilst I was studying for my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, where I was successful in gaining a scholarship through Swinburne University of Technology, to go to Vietnam. During this visit, I was volunteering in Hanoi, teaching English to prep-aged children. It was a fantastic experience and extended my childcare experience, as well as providing learning experiences in another culture, and participating in their usual day-to-day life activities. Prior to this experience, I was a nanny in America. This position involved living-in with a family in New Jersey, USA where I cared for their two children (girls now aged 4 and 8). Living full-time in the family house meant that it was important that my approach and behaviours aligned with the rules and principles of the family. I've also taken on additional roles working with children, such as a Ski Instructor at Mt Buller Ski Resort and an Assistant Educator at Explorer’s Early Learning Centre. These positions showcase my proficiency and professionalism in the field. I have a mature, responsible, and professional way of caring for children and I pride myself on creating a positive, happy environment in which children can thrive. My price per hour is negotiable ◡̈

I am currently studying primary school education in Germany but took a year off to live in Melbourne. Through my studies I made experiences working with children aged 6-10. I also did some babysitting for a family with a 2 year old girl. I would love to keep working with children here in Australia so if you are interested and want to know more about me please contact me! :)

In addition to my teaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of serving as the Director of a childcare center in Armadale for 4 years, overseeing up to 180 children a day.
