Babysitters in Fitzroy North, VIC

I’m a friendly, reliable, and caring babysitter who genuinely loves spending time with kids. I enjoy getting involved in games, crafts, outdoor play, and story time, while making sure children feel safe and comfortable. I’m patient, calm, and happy to follow your family’s routines—whether that’s helping with homework, preparing simple meals, or settling in for bedtime. I understand how important trust is when it comes to childcare, and I aim to be someone both parents and kids feel happy and confident having around.

I have a Graduate Diploma of Education, an Honours degree in psychology, and several years' of experience working with children aged 0-5 in kindergarten and long daycare settings. I have also worked with primary school-aged children as a nanny/babysitter, and I have an 11-year-old. I am patient, kind, and joyful, and I love working with children. Some of my favourite activities to do with children are reading books, playing games, making art, exploring the outdoors, and going on outings to places like the museum. I am happy to follow the interests of each child, whether it be reading the same book 20 times or getting on my hands and knees to play with them. My own interests include swimming, yoga, meditation, art, travel, and playing guitar. I choose not to work with children when they or I have infectious illnesses. I hope to find families who are on the same page about that. I currently have flexibility with times, so feel free to reach out even if my schedule doesn't say that I'm available. I did my first aid, asthma and anaphylaxis 2 years ago, so my CPR is not current. I'm happy to redo the CPR or the full course if necessary.

My name is Alex and I am a very enthusiastic, bubbly person who loves to work with kids. I have over 15 years of experience and have worked with kids with disabilities. I’m very reliable, responsible and have a very friendly disposition. I am very family orientated and would love the opportunity to work with your family. I've also spent a lot of time working with younger kids with disabilities and helping them to stay active. I have been working in the industry for the past 15 years and the ages have ranged from new borns to 12 year olds. When I work with kids it never feels like a job and that’s why I love it. I’m happy to help with the cooking and cleaning, drop offs from creche, school and after school activities and I also have my drivers license and a reliable car. I have fantastic references over the years & happy to share with you. I have a current Working with Children check and Police check and I have my certificate in First Aid and AustSwim also! I look forward to hearing back from you.

I am a 21-year-old with plans to study primary and secondary education! I am looking for casual or part time work. I have a genuine love for working with children of all ages and bring a calm, sensible, and nurturing energy to my care—while still knowing how to have plenty of fun! I have experience with casual babysitting, have worked at camps supporting boys aged 10–25, and have facilitated children’s programs in a previous role at an allied health clinic. I’m confident, patient, and able to manage a variety of needs and personalities. I’m also very comfortable with routines like playtime, bath and bedtime, and light household tasks. I live independently, so I’m responsible, mature for my age, and well-organised. I’m also a big animal lover—so happy to help in a household with pets! I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, caring, and fun environment for your children. My hourly rate is negotiable depending on the role and needs.

Hello parents, My name is Tracey, I'm vibrant, energetic and also calm and have a lifelong passion for working with children. From an early age, I discovered my love for caring for babies, toddlers, and young kids at 13 in my hometown of Castlemaine. In my 20s and 30's, I worked in childcare centres before transitioning into a career as a professional musician, alongside raising two wonderful sons who are now 28 and 20. Over the years, I’ve remained deeply involved in caregiving, helping raise my nieces, babysitting for families, and working in aged care as a diversional therapist and a disability support worker. For the past few years, I have been a regular carer for three children under the age of six, further strengthening my hands-on experience, I have also recently nannied and cared for a family with teenage children. I strive to create a nurturing, fun, and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and engaged. I believe in the importance of routine, ensuring children are well-rested and happy. I love incorporating creativity and learning into daily activities, whether through reading, music, arts and crafts, puzzles, or imaginative play and love being silly! With my background in music, I enjoy singing lullabies, teaching songs, and use music as a calming tool. I also have a strong focus on health and well-being and love cooking, I come from an Italian background and it would probably be my speciality, however, I can mostly cook anything you require. Light household duties are absolutely fine, as I work best in a clean and organised space. I'm also an animal lover, nature lover and gardener. I would love to find a family where I feel welcome and can make a positive impact in your children’s lives. If you’re looking for a responsible, engaging, experienced mother and caring babysitter, I’d be delighted to chat further. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones! Warm regards, Tracey

I am also a regular babysitter for my 4yo niece, who never fails to fill my heart with happiness as she explores the world. Babysitting is a joy, filled with crafts, playgrounds, Disney movies, baking sessions, bike rides, science experiments, and story time. I enjoy cooking and often prepare nourishing meals for the kids. Although my main focus is on giving the kids my full care and attention, I might have time to whip up a meal for parents as well.

Kids have this incredible knack for reminding us of life's simple joys! I am available evenings, and weekends. I am excited about the opportunity to connect with you and your children ☺️

Hi, I’m Alice 👋 I’m a responsible, calm, and caring childcare provider with extensive experience working with children of all ages in both home and structured settings. I’m a University of Edinburgh graduate and have spent several summers working as a camp leader and tennis coach at international youth camps, where I supported children’s wellbeing, routines, and confidence in high-energy, multicultural environments. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and grounded, and I place a strong emphasis on creating a safe, relaxed space where children feel comfortable and supported. Alongside play and activities, I’m very reliable with routines such as meals, homework, bath time, and bedtime. I take safeguarding seriously and always aim to communicate clearly and thoughtfully with parents. My background in sports coaching, hospitality, and pastoral care has helped me develop a calm, adaptable approach — whether caring for younger children or engaging older ones with activities and structure. I’m active, outdoorsy, and creative, but equally value quiet time like reading, drawing, or winding down at the end of the day. Parents often describe me as trustworthy, present, and easy to feel at ease with — and I genuinely enjoy building positive, respectful relationships with both children and families.
