Babysitters in Elwood, VIC

Hi! My name is Sanya Arora, and I’m a friendly, caring, and responsible early childhood education student with hands-on experience working with children from infants to preschoolers. I currently work as an educator in childcare and am studying for my Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Care I have a genuine love for children and enjoy creating fun, safe, and nurturing environments where they can learn, play, and grow. I’m experienced in supporting children’s routines — including meals, rest time, and play — and I love planning engaging activities that support their development. I’m also First Aid and CPR certified, hold a Working with Children Check, and have completed Child Protection and Food Handling training, so safety is always my top priority. Families describe me as patient, reliable, and easy to talk to, and I always aim to build warm, trusting relationships with both children and parents. Whether it’s helping with homework, reading stories, outdoor play, or bedtime routines, I’m happy to adapt to your family’s needs.

Hi! My name is Abbie. I would consider myself a friendly, caring and responsible person. I have always loved working with and caring for children. I'm 19 years old and currently in my second year of a Bachelor of Midwifery at ACU. I completed my VCE at St Michael's Grammar School in 2024. I have experience caring for children across a wide range of ages, from newborns through to 12 years old, and I'm comfortable adapting to the different routines and needs each child may need. Through my midwifery studies, I have developed a particular interest in newborn and infant care, as well as a strong understanding of children's wellbeing, safety and development.

Dear families! My name is Alina and I am a multilingual educator and nanny based in Melbourne. I have qualifications in Languages, Education Support, WWCC, First Aid and children’s safety certifications, and experience working with children in both schools and private care. I speak Italian, Russian, English, Spanish, and French, and I love introducing children to languages naturally through play, games, music, storytelling, creativity, and everyday communication in a fun and relaxed way. I am also currently studying the Interplay approach and attachment-based child development, which helps me create a gentle, emotionally safe, and respectful environment where children can feel understood, confident, and supported. I truly believe children learn best through connection, trust, curiosity, and positive experiences.

My name is Asha, I am 20 years old and am currently looking for a casual or potential part time nanny/ babysitting job. I am currently working at a jewellery store on a casual basis and studying 3 days a week. But I would love to spend some of my spare time looking after some fun kids! I enjoy the outdoors and exercising, spending time with friends and family, as well as being creative and learning new things. I also love animals and have experience in dog sitting and babysitting (happy to provide references). I would love to meet a great family that I could hopefully help out a few times a week, as well as provide school pick ups and drop offs, clean the house and make meals if needed (I am quite the chef). I love spending time with Kids and would be so grateful to find the right fit for me!

I’m a conscientious, passionate, and driven individual with over 10 years of experience caring for children aged 4+ months to 13 years. Working as a nanny and babysitter has been such a rewarding journey, allowing me to form meaningful connections with families and support children as they grow and thrive. From soothing newborns to engaging curious toddlers and supporting school aged kids with their routines, I’ve had the privilege of adapting to the unique needs of each child I’ve worked with. Along the way, I’ve developed creative ways to keep little ones entertained, from fun educational activities to hands on arts and crafts projects. My background also includes a diploma in professional education, as well as experience assisting in kindergartens and primary schools. These roles helped me build a strong foundation in creating safe and nurturing learning environments. Beyond childcare, I’m always happy to lend a helping hand to parents by tackling household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and laundry. I love making a positive difference in busy families’ lives, whether it’s giving parents peace of mind or adding joy and structure to children’s days. Being around kids inspires me every day, and I’m always looking for new ways to connect, support, and help them shine.

Hello, lovely to meet you! I’m Charlotte, a kind and friendly 33-year-old originally from New Zealand, looking for babysitting/nannying work. I’m an aunty to 7 (with two older sisters back in NZ) and absolutely adore kids. I’ve spent the past couple of months on Mount Buller babysitting for different families most days during the ski season - ages 4 months to 9 years - including skiing with the kids, nappy changes, feeding, settling, naps, and soothing. Happy to provide references. I can drive and am happy to carpool, plus help with homework, cooking, and cleaning - anything that takes the load off you. I live independently in a two-bedroom apartment in Elwood and I’m happy to travel if needed. I’ve spent 15 years overseas - 5 in the US, 2 in London - and the last 9 in Melbourne, most recently 6 years in banking. I’m taking a break from the corporate world and finishing up on the mountain in a couple of weeks. I’ll be back in Elwood/Brighton from mid-September, looking to split my time between a couple of nannying families if I can. Look forward to speaking soon. Many thanks, Charlotte

I am energetic and absolutely love being with little children out, playing, movement, dancing, singing, making food, walks and discovering the little things in our world outdoors. Have been a nanny for 10 years, researched and experienced the early childhood and development field and have completed my Diploma in early childhood in 2018. Even though I explored the early childhood field in childcare centres my delight is in being out and about mostly in nature with kids exploring the local surroundings, bugs, plants, birds, playgrounds etc. Sometimes even a walk when done slowly, just down the street can be amazing. When we stop and notice the scents, sounds and each little thing that is there. I find this to be a favourite of children and I enjoy being in the present moment with them. My background has been in fashion design and at the moment the wellbeing space.
