Hi, my name is Amber, and I’m 24 years old. I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood and Primary at Swinburne University.

Hi there! I’m a dedicated and nurturing early childhood professional with many years of experience working with children of all ages. My background includes working in child care centres, schools, private homes, and I’m currently working casually at Tweddle Early Parenting Centre. I’ve also had the joy of helping raise my nieces and nephews—now all grown up—which is a big part of why I truly miss being around babies and young children. I bring a calm, positive, and reliable presence into every home I work in. I genuinely enjoy supporting children as they grow, learn, and develop into their own unique selves. I’m a strong communicator, highly flexible, and a natural multitasker—skills that come from growing up in a big, busy family! I have extensive knowledge of early childhood development and can provide a safe, engaging, and fun environment that suits your child’s individual needs. I’m confident with bedtime routines, including bath time, story time, and settling children for sleep with consistency and care. I’m also happy to help with simple, healthy meal prep and snacks to keep little ones well-fed and happy throughout the day or evening. Whether you're looking for occasional care or more regular support, I’d love to chat further and can meet in person to see if I’m the right fit for your family. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello Im Sahasra, 19, and a second-year business student at RMIT! I have always been around kids. I feel they make such a special difference in our lives, and I am looking forward to the time that I will be able to have little ones of my own! I have cared for children from family and friends, and I have also volunteered some time in my high school kinder to Year 1, helping them in class activities, talking with them, and assisting them when needed. It was a super rewarding time and allowed me to understand more about each child as a person and how they are in various situations. Even during family or friends' parties and events, I would often just be in the corner taking care of children because that's the part I enjoy, whether they're quiet or wiggling around, I will still be able to manage. I will be more than happy to help look after your little ones, and provide updates and adjust to any preferences.

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! I'm Zoe, 19, a second-year Chemical Engineering student at RMIT, living in Essendon. While I haven't worked as a babysitter yet, I've spent time tutoring young kids, which has given me a good sense of how to keep them engaged, patient when they're frustrated, and comfortable following a routine (or happily going off-script when needed).
