Babysitters in Mckinnon, VIC

Hey! My name is Jess and I am currently looking for a nannying/babysitting job alongside my studies. I am reliable, gentle natured, observant/emotionally intuitive and great with young children. I love animals and have 2 mischievous little sausage dogs and an aloof but cuddly cat. I have a passion for cooking (especially sweet treats!) so I would be more than happy to prepare meals or whip up breakfast/lunch/dinners if required. I also have an Advanced First Aid certification and Working with Children check.

Hi, my name is Stephanie Argyriou. I recently graduated from Haileybury College with honours in Sociology and English. I have always loved working with kids and creating a warm, caring environment where they feel safe and happy. I’m patient, reliable, and ready to help however I can—whether it’s school drop-offs and pick-ups, getting the kids ready, taking them to activities, or meal prepping to make life easier for parents. I’m also happy to walk the dog and help with homework, offering extra support if needed. I have had experience babysitting my younger cousins and would love the chance to be a positive, helpful presence in your family life!

Hi there! I am very excited about meeting and getting to know you. To start with I am looking for: • 2 jobs of 1 - 10 hr day or •1 job 20hrs in 2 days (mon-tues) or •1 job 40 hrs in 4 days (mon-thur). Currently in a PA/House manger/Nanny job that is Wed & Thursday. If the right family with 30-40hrs come along they understand, but i am looking in the main to stay with them, if I can find the right family(ies) for Monday & Tuesday. •I am not available on Fridays. Fridays are my days helping my mum visit my grandmother a fair drive from Melb. (Can babysit on Friday nights, but can’t work in the day) Essentials: - Valid Victorian Drivers Licence - WWCC: exp. 26/10/2028 - Police Check: exp. 20.09.25 - Level 2: First Aid (inclusive: Asthma, CPR exp. June 2025, & Epi-pen) exp. June 2027 - CV: with copies of my credentials - References Now about me - I have been providing childcare over the past 22 years. The last 9 of those I have been a Nanny. I have worked with many different family equations: twins with a younger siblings, all girls, all boys, brothers and sisters, and solo children. The ages I have looked after are from 9mths - 12 years old. My favorite age to look after are children 14 mths - 5 years old, I know I shouldn’t have a favorite age, but I do. I also find the easiest age to look after is 8-11 (they might have more tuded but they are able to attend to their selfcare without much promting). However all children are different and I stay adaptable, because as they age - how I interacted with them must change. 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 and do colouring in and drawing non-stop. They all ask questions after question non stop, lols (as a result you get to learn from having to google answers to the questions you don’t have an answer for. For 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, the current oldest one of them is guessed to be 300 years old) I like to play word games and encourage conversation at dinner time. While walking or driving to school or activities, I like to play math games or encourage conversation, I let the children lead as to what they want to do, to encourage confidence in ones own voice. Duties I undertake: morning routines; breakfeast, lunch boxes, school bag packing, day-care/kinder/school drop offs -For the little ones when at home and not at daycare/kinddy. 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) like 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 best friend. House management tasks; grocery and maintenance of pantry & basic medicine (ie expiries and organisation), light laundry duties, light house keeping, school holiday and pupil free day planning, meal planning, food prep (dietary requirements taken into consideration, naturally) multi-tasking and more. Afternoon routine; networking with other parents at the children’s school that the children are friends with or do extra curriculum with, extracurricular coordination, planning of play dates, supervise-assistance with homework and practice for their extra curriculum. With additional extras from me if wanted/needed or time permits (eg. Music theroy, maths etc.) Evening routine; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine. History summary: •I started child caring in 2002 when I was 14: for my, then, piano teacher’s son. I cared for him 3 days a week, (after school) from the age of 2-8, while his mother worked from home: I had to master the skill of noise level control! •Once I was 16 I began to babysit for other families during the evenings, nights and on weekends. •When I started my tertiary studies I babysat casually between my part-time job and my studies 2006-2009 (I studied fashion but that world did not feel right for me). •Between 2010-2015 I would babysit and assist as a mother's helper when asked, whilst working 4 part-time jobs and trying to find my path in this world, by families that knew me, or who were referred to me. •In 2016 I went to Paris as an Au Pair. And fell in love with France. And started seeing the path I wanted to walk, and what I needed to do to get there. •In 2017 back in Oz; I undertook causal & part-time child-care positions. For families with babies, toddlers and preschoolers. •Eventual I found an amazing family of 5 (3 girls aged: 7, 10 & 12) to work for, as a full-time Nanny, I was with them from July 2017-July 2020. When it no longer made sense for me to be there whilst they worked from home, and the 3 girls couldn’t do their extra curricula’s because of lockdowns, or go to school. NOTE: Ages I give are of how old the children were, when I finished. •The next Family, was a family of 4; a boy- 9 years old & a girl - 7 years old, providing before and after school care 5 days a week from Feb 2021-Aug 2021. •From Sept 2021-Dec 2024; I have been working F/T with a great Family of 4: 2 boys; 5 & 9 years old. If you have read this far, I look forward to receiving a message from you. ☺️
