Babysitters in Essendon Fields, VIC

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!

Hi! I am a reliable and caring babysitter and nanny with a genuine love for working with children.

Through these roles, I’ve developed strong communication skills, patience, and the ability to create a fun, safe, and supportive environment for children of different ages. I’m very active and sporty - I play football and basketball and go to the gym regularly - which means I’m more than happy to keep up with energetic kids, get involved in outdoor play, and encourage an active lifestyle. I hold a valid Working With Children Check and First Aid/CPR certification, and I have a driver’s licence with the ability to assist with school or activity pickups when needed. I’m comfortable caring for children across a range of ages, including newborns, toddlers, and primary-school-aged children.
