Hi I am Mila!! I am studying a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) Honours and a Bachelor of Arts at Monash Uni. I am currently working as a swim coach at the St Kilda Sea Baths. I teach tiny little babies to swim through a lot of singing, learn to swim classes aswell as adults and squads. I also coach netball at Wesley College. I have worked with professionally for 4 years now but have always been babysitting through my teen years. My experience has allowed me to bring empathy, patience and understanding to every situation I am in. Outside of work and school I absolutely love to read, bake, spend time with my friends especially if it involves travelling to a beach down the Great Ocean Rd or the Peninsula, finding live music to listen to, playing heaps of sport including AFL, netball and swimming and travelling the world. I love to be busy and fill my days learning from others. From the ages of 3-13 my family had either an au pair or a nanny. I understand the impact it can have when someone goes above and beyond to put some extra thought, time and care into helping a family. I can’t wait to meet your family! ✅WWCC ✅Police Check ✅CPR Certification ✅First Aid

Hi Everyone! I'm an experienced childcare worker who loves children. Im warm, highly reliable, flexible and child led carer who prioritises safety. I’m currently seeking part time daytime work with newborns - toddlers as this is my specialty. I've had 10 years + experience with sole care private nannying/babysitting, daycare centres and teaching overseas at ESL schools. I’m comfortable with a number of kids at once if you have older school aged kids which also need care. I feel privileged to work with beautiful little children and I take my work seriously. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hi there! I am very excited about meeting and getting to know you. ABOUT ME: I have been providing childcare over the past 22 years. The last 9 of those years, I have been a Nanny. I have worked with many different families: with 1-4 children; twins with a younger sibling, all girls, all boys, brothers & sisters; with an age range of 9mths - 12 years old. As all children & families are different I like to stay adaptable, to meet the needs of the unique situation. Some children are runners, some are quite contemplators, others always need to be crafting and creating big cardboard constructions, while another is quite happy to sit while colouring in and drawing for hours on end. However they all ask questions non stop, lols. And I love that because of their curiosity I learn as well; from having to google the answers to the questions I don’t know, e.g. I now know the oldest living animal is the Greenland shark, and it is guessed to have a lifespan of 250-500 yrs. With the current oldest one guessed to be 300 years old! But I only learned this because one child I looked after LOVED the ocean and all its wonders. :) I find I lean towards the Montessori Method of teaching children. I follow the theme of their current interest for play, games and conversations, and I like to incorporate their current obsession, be it space or dinosaurs into our word & math games and everything else we do together. MORNING ROUTINE; breakfast, lunch boxes, school bag packing, day-care/kinder/school drop offs -For the little ones when at home and not at daycare/kindy. I like to have our week planned. Be it excursions to the zoo, park, an indoor play center, library time or classes that helps their development: that the parents have enrolled them into, or I have found that the Mum’s & Dad’s like; e.g. Gymbaroo, Ready steady go, All Sports etc., to activities we can do at the house like baking or painting or even a playdate with their friend/s. HOUSE MANAGEMENT; groceries, maintenance of pantry & basic medicine (ie expiry dates & organisation), light laundry duties, light house keeping, tiding up after myself & the little ones, keeping the kitchen clean & hygienic, school holiday & pupil free day planning, meal planning, food & meal prep (dietary requirements taken into consideration) multi-tasking and other Ad-Hoc tasks. AFTERNOON ROUTINE; networking with other parents & carers at the children’s school- that the children are friends with or do extra curriculum’s with, extracurricular coordination (this is where the networking can sometimes help with car pooling & swapping weeks), planning of play dates, supervise-assistance with homework and practice for their extra curriculum’s. With additional extras from me if wanted/needed or time permits (eg. Music theory, maths etc.) ***I have help children further develop their music skills with my attention and knowledge than what they receive in a 30min class once a week. And I have helped with further development of their Math & literacy skills. HOWEVER my proudest achievement was somehow managing to help my French charge (when an AuPair in Paris) go from an almost F (from her former AuPair) in her French Class to an A. While I was only at a very basic beginner level with my own French skills. * haven’t figuered out how/where to add this in yet. So I’m just plopping it in for now. I gained experience with home schooling during COVID from 2020-2022. With all the families I worked with during all the Melbourne lockdown peroids. EVENING ROUTINE; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine.

Hello! I am a caring and responsible person from Japan who takes pride in doing my work carefully and reliably. 🇯🇵I worked as a registered nurse for three years at a children’s hospital in Japan, specializing in a ward for children with congenital heart disease. 🩺Through this experience, I developed strong skills in caring for children and supporting their families. I genuinely love children and enjoy creating a safe and positive environment for them. People often describe me as kind, friendly, and approachable. I arrived in Australia on September 5 and am planning to obtain a WWCC.📃

Hello, my names Lisa, I’m a mother of 3, my eldest son has long left home, and my two daughters aged 11yrs and 14yrs live with me full time. I’m very capable of providing care to any aged children. After I drop mine to school I’m available from 9.30am-4.30pm week days, also some evenings, as well as some weekends, either day or evening. I’m currently applying for a police check and working with children certificate. I have just recently decided to apply for babysitting as my current casual job is coming to an end ( the boutique is closing) and I’d like to try something more rewarding.

I'm an experienced nanny with a calm, professional approach. I recently completed 9 months with a family who had twin boys. I worked with them from when the boys were 6 weeks old. The family moved interstate and the role came to a natural end. I have since started nannying with a family in Malvern and work Thursdays and Fridays but could potentially be free evenings for babysitting in Brighton or Elwood. The current family I am working with have a 3 year old and a 15 month old. Apart from my current experience, I worked both as a live-in and live-out nanny in the UK for 2 years, where I formed close, lasting relationships with the families and children in my care. The children ranged from 9 months to 4 years old. I've also raised two children of my own, who are now young adults. Having been a working parent myself, I understand first-hand how much it matters to have a nanny who is reliable, consistent, and works in genuine partnership with the family. I take routines and parenting preferences seriously and bring both warmth and good judgment to everything I do. Earlier in my career I worked in complex HR roles, which has given me strong communication skills, discretion, and the ability to handle whatever a day throws at me with a level head. I have chosen to return to nannying because I genuinely enjoy working with children and supporting families. I hold a current Working with Children Check, a completed police check, up-to-date first aid certification, and am happy to provide references. We share our home with a border collie/golden retriever cross and a cat, so I'm very comfortable around pets and completely at ease in homes where animals are part of the family.

Hi, My name is Elle and I’m a 22 year old university student who has five years of experience working with children in a range of roles and environments. Over the years, I have worked as a permanent nanny, worked in a crèche with children aged from 6 weeks to 6 years, and have spent the last two years in Canada nannying and working as a children’s ski school support worker. My main priority is always ensuring that children have a positive and safe experience in my care, while also supporting families in maintaining a well-managed home environment. My goal is to support families and make everyone's lives easier! I'm reliable and proactive, and am happy to assist with daily and nightly routines, activities, meals, school or childcare commitments and the general day-to-day organisation that helps a household run smoothly. I am currently majoring in Child Psychology, which has further developed my interest in children’s development and wellbeing. I hold a full driver’s licence and have my own car, as well as a current Working with Children Check, Police Check and full First Aid qualifications, including infant CPR.

I left the corporate world 15 years ago and have been happily nannying ever since. I have loved working with the same 4 families over the last 15 years. The children are now at school full time and growing into lovely young adults. I am even driving with them while they are on L plates!

I’m a really creative person and love art, which is something I’m hoping to bring into babysitting too! Next year I’m also heading to the US to do Camp America, where I’m hoping to work with kids at a summer camp. I’m always happy to help out wherever needed!

I’m a reliable and caring 18-year-old currently in Year 12 at St Leonard’s College. Having grown up around my younger siblings and cousins, I’ve always been comfortable around children and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m responsible, patient and happy to get involved with whatever your kids enjoy, whether that’s playing games, helping with homework or getting them ready for bed.
