Hello, I’m Bronwyn. I am a qualified Nanny with over 10 years experience. I am nurturing, calm and creative, and am able to connect quickly with children.

I am a friendly, responsible and enthusiastic person currently studying a Bachelor of Education. I work as a teacher’s aide at two primary schools, giving me extensive experience working with children of different ages.

Hi families, I'm a primary school teacher currently working as a Casual Relief Teacher (CRT) and Sports Coach running physical education incursions in Primary Schools. I am looking to pick up some additional work in the evenings, weekends, and school holidays. I'm also open to daytime shifts alongside my other teaching commitments if the hours and arrangement is the right fit for both myself and your family. Ideally, I'd love to build a strong relationship with a family and become a regular, trusted support person for your children through ongoing work. Before moving into full-time teaching for 3 years, I worked as a nanny for over 10 years with several wonderful families, caring for children ranging from 12 months to 15 years old. My first part-time job was at The Tiny Chef, a children's cooking party venue, where I worked with children aged 2–13, giving me extensive experience supporting and engaging with kids across a variety of ages and settings. Outside of teaching, I love staying active and playing netball. I'm currently coaching two senior teams at Melbourne University and have previously coached junior teams and NetSetGO programs. I enjoy creating fun, positive, and engaging experiences for children, whether that's helping with homework, playing games, doing arts and crafts, getting outdoors, or simply being a reliable and caring presence. I look forward to hearing from you and would love to chat about how I can support your family!

Hi! My name is Sophie! I am a primary school teacher looking to support families through the school holidays. Over the last five years I have worked across various schools as a Teacher and Teacher's Aide, working with an array of different children. I have supported children in achieving their individual goals and developed programs to support their learning needs. I not only assisted in the academic component of schooling, but I also supported children with social, emotional and physical needs, whilst creating a supportive environment. I believe that communication is one of the most important aspects of any job, especially as a banysitter. I value my communication skills, as well as my ability to work in a team environment to support children on a day to day basis. I will strive to ensure that the children feel safe, connected and supported throughout my time looking after your children by creating different experiences and activities to support their interests. I am available full time on school holidays. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m an experienced nanny and babysitter with a background in childcare, support work, gymnastics coaching and swim teaching. I genuinely love working with children and creating a fun, safe and relaxed environment for them. I’m currently completing further studies to obtain my Masters in Clinical Psychology. 🎨 I love keeping kids entertained with activities such as drawing, games, baking, outdoor activities and crafts rather than relying on screens. 🚗 I have access to a car and am happy to help with school/activity drop-offs and pick-ups. 📚 Happy to help with homework, reading and schoolwork. 🍝 I’m also happy to prepare meals/snacks for the kids and help with light household tasks. 💛 I’d describe myself as warm, friendly, reliable and approachable, and I really value building a relationship with both the children I care for and their families. 📅 My schedule is flexible and I’m available for both regular and casual babysitting.

I'm a responsible, creative and calm babysitter with 2 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with special needs like autism. I'm fluent in English and Spanish, and I have a wide range of skills including drawing, reading, language development, and crafting.

With nearly 15 years of childcare experience, I bring a calm, caring and reliable presence to every home I work in. I absolutely love kids - their curiosity, creativity, and laughter bring me so much joy and remind me daily why I’ve continued doing this for so long. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to teens, twins and multiples, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and feel supported. Whether it’s helping with schoolwork, coming up with fun activities, or keeping daily routines running smoothly, I genuinely enjoy being a part of each child’s growth and happiness. My goal is always to make parents feel confident and at ease, knowing their children are in patient, attentive, and loving hands.

Hi, I'm Sahasra, a 19-year-old second-year Business student at RMIT with a passion for working with children. I've always been drawn to working with kids and find it genuinely rewarding to be part of their lives, even in small ways. I've cared for children of family and friends, and during my final weeks of Year 12, I volunteered with Kinder to Year 1 students at my high school, where I played with them, helped them learn, joined in on activities, and assisted them whenever needed. That experience taught me a lot about understanding each child as an individual and adapting to how they're feeling in different situations. Even at family and friends' gatherings, I'm usually the one keeping an eye on the kids, since it's genuinely what I enjoy. Whether they're calm or full of energy, I'm comfortable managing either. I'd love to help look after your little ones, and I'll always keep you updated and adjust to whatever preferences or routines your family has.
