I'm Kelly, a 39-year-old who's got a blend of wisdom and childlike wonder, available for casual babysitting. I am a regular ad hoc babysitter for multiple families across Fitzroy, Thornbury, Preston, and Brunswick East, with kids aged 1 to 11 years old. I am also a regular babysitter for my 3yo 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. Warmth, authenticity, and nurturing are my go-tos. I'm all about fostering creativity and curiosity, making every moment a blend of fun and learning. Kids have this incredible knack for reminding us of life's simple joys, and I find that truly inspiring. While I work full-time from 9 am to 5 pm, I operate from home on Fridays, so offer flexible support on that day, and most evenings and weekends are also open. I am excited about the opportunity to connect with you and your children, creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for their growth and happiness. Looking forward to speaking with you soon! 😊

Hi mums and dads! I'm a friendly, caring, compassionate and highly competent nanny looking for part time work alongside my current nannying job (Thursdays 7:30am-6pm in Alphington with two gorgeous boys, 2 and 5). I have over a year's experience in disability support work as well as 5+ years of experience with nannying with children of ages 5 months - 12 years. My past roles have involved school pickups as well as full days, taking the children to different exciting activities, such as the Melbourne Zoo, Melbourne Museum, Collingwood Children's Farm, parks, etc. I also have two younger brothers! I am originally from the country (Mansfield, Vic) before moving to boarding school (Geelong Grammar) and then to Melbourne for my degree in 2018. Happy to cook and clean and have a car if needed for pickups, drive arounds, etc. I also have a WWCC check and have parent references if requested. Look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hello, my name is Calista and I have a deep passion for care and for creating and inspiring positive and calm environments with children. I have a bright and engaging personality and am a very good communicator and fun to be around! I have been working as a support worker this past year so I am great at adapting my skills to the needs of each individual child and love getting creative with activities and to take the time to nurture and allow a child to develop in their unique way! I am very creative in problem solving, fit and active with a very strong passion for the arts and creative education. I am very passionate about the importance of the arts and the impact it can make on people's lives, particularly children which is why I am a big advocate in creative and active play. I love working with children, I have a firm but gentle demeanour and love to engage in active play and activities. I have assisted with children’s holiday programs from the age range 6 - 14 and have been babysitting various family friends children over the years and been a support worker this past year. I am a very tidy person with a keen eye for details so I am happy to do light household work and small meals/snacks. I also have some flexibility with hours :)

My name is Neve Mellody, I’m 18 and recently graduated at Princes Hill Secondary college. I have been babysitting my 3 younger cousins for 2 years over the holidays, as well as weekly babysitting at a family friends house after school hours. I believe I am driven, kind and enthusiastic. I also have experience in the cleaning field so would also offer a helping hand with chores. I love kids! And enjoy involving myself in their choice of games/fun as well as giving parents a reliable and trustworthy individual to look after their kids during work/dinners.

Hello! Please note I don’t own a car so am only looking for work within reasonable cycling distance of Fitzroy North. I’m looking for all day shifts primarily (e.g. 7-10 hrs) on Tuesdays, Wednesday ( and /or Thursdays. Ideally 1 full day but am open to 2. Am available to start 2025. I love working with children and I'm very enthusiastic about doing creative things like painting, musical games or singing, reading stories, playing imaginary games, hide and go seek, board games and going to parks, PT rides, the museum/zoo etc. I’m pretty great at drawing and naming dinosaurs from the mesozoic era, drawing Shrek characters and Paw Patrol! I don’t believe in putting kids in a box based on their gender and encourage them to try anything and see others with an open mind. I have 12 years teaching experience in Australia (the last 5 in Japan 2017-2022) as a kindergarten (5-6 years old) and grade 2 teacher at international schools with the IB curriculum. I am very patient and caring and make sure I give children my full attention. I am also very reliable, organised and trustworthy. I understand that it is important to keep children of all ages stimulated and am respectful of parents' routines and rules. Enforcing manners (age appropriate of course) is also really important to me. I have 7 years experience as a nanny, ranging from 6 months to 10 years old. I can work evenings (minimum 3 hrs please). I have completed first-aid courses in Japan and Australia. I have WWC and police checks that was applied for by the op shop I volunteer at. I can provide referees' details who will attest to my dedication, reliability and creativity. I am prepared to do light housework and tidying up after the kids (of course) but I do encourage them to help. I’m very reliable and expect the same from my employer. Late notice cancelling of my shifts i with no compensation isn’t respecting my time. In the last 3 years I’ve only taken one sick day despite being surrounded by colds, coughs and stomach bugs! I completed my primary school teaching degree in 2013. I’ve had 4 covid shots now, soon able to get my fifth. I just came back from Colombia and the Amazon (Nov ‘24) and definitely want to go again late next year just for a heads up. I look forward to hearing from you!

I've looked after three children, five fur-babies and one bird all at once and another time four brothers after-school… Currently I’m still chasing and being chased by kids as they head of to primary school after watching them grow up through the pandemic. Imaginative and role play are some of my favourite activities as well as any opportunity to draw, make art, learn and read stories. Some afternoons I’m watching kids swim and play basketball or just catching up quickly before they head to bed. I’m more than happy to clean, cook and fold washing - whatever needs doing. With some room in my timetable it would be lovely to meet and assist another family.

I am happy to cook and will keep you ( if required) and your children well nourished. I'm of Italian descent but can cook whatever you require. Household duties are fine as well, I work well in a clean environment, like to keep children especially clean and dressed in warm clothes, (I often see kids these days with no socks and no hat in winter and i become a little horrified!!) I LOVE reading to children and thoroughly at home in creating a magical fantasy land, I'm not shy in performing silly dance moves and playing games, I love to teach songs and have a knack for getting the most cry baby to sleep with a lullaby.

Current working with children's card, police check and first aid/anaphylactic certificates .

I’m 29 and a Brunswick East local with years of experience as a nanny and babysitter. Coming from a huge family, I’ve been looking after kids for as long as I can remember, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve nannied across the globe, adapting to different cultures and family needs, and I also work as a children’s entertainer, which has given me a knack for making things fun and engaging.

Hello, I am Alina and 28 years old. I am originally from Germany but currently living in Melbourne after finishing my masters degree last year. I always enjoyed working with children - in high school I worked as a tutor, gymnastics instructor and camp counselor. After high school I worked as an AuPair (live-in nanny) in the US where lived in two different families for 6 months each and took care of the children - 2 children aged 5-8 in my first family and 3 children aged 2-8 in the second one. I have also worked as an AuPair in Spain for 2 months, where I took care of 3 children aged 1-5 and also taught them German during my time there. I consider myself friendly and open-minded and am very responsible in my task of babysitting/taking care of children. Activities I often did as an AuPair included going to the playground and library, doing arts and crafts projects, reading books and playing games at home and organising play dates with other children. I was also responsible for dropping off/picking up the kids from their leisure time activities, helping with homework and teaching German, preparing food and bringing the children to bed occasionally. If you are looking for a friendly, responsible and creative babysitter for your children, I am looking forward to hearing from you. I have a valid Working with Children Check, an Australian Driver’s License and can also provide you with my AuPair certificate. Kind regards, Alina
