Hi! I am a reliable and caring babysitter and nanny with a genuine love for working with children. I graduated from Lowther Hall Anglican Grammar School and am currently studying Nursing at Australian Catholic University, which has given me a strong foundation in child safety, health, and wellbeing. I have over four years of experience working with children as a coach across Auskick, basketball, and holiday programs, as well as regular babysitting for neighbours, friends, and family. 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. I’m friendly, patient, and trustworthy, and I take pride in helping children feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

Hello!I have recently decided to continue my studies after a 2 year break. During this time I have found myself being a flight attendant, while also looking after a beautiful family two days a week in South East Melbourne.

I am looking for a casual position for a family needing care 1-2 days a week, preferably long days, to spend some time away from flying and studying. I have looked after children since I was 14, caring for children from 2 months to 5 years! I enjoying watching children reach milestones and learning new skills, as-well as watching them laugh and have fun! I have lived out of home in a share house since I was 18, so I am proactive in keeping a space clean and tidy. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contacts me :)

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.
