Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi! I am a dependable and caring babysitter based in Melbourne. I am a Filipino from the Philippines who is known for being compassionate, family-oriented, and hardworking. I have a background in education and hospitality, and I previously worked as a hotel operations manager, where I learned valuable organizational, responsibility, and problem-solving skills. I am currently studying General English. I also worked as a student teacher, which helped me develop patience and effective communication skills with children. I have hands-on childcare experience, having cared for my niece and nephew from a young age until they were teenagers. I am also a mother of a two-year-old (2 years and 3 months), so I am comfortable feeding, bathing, playing, and keeping children safe and happy. I am a nonsmoker with first aid knowledge and can assist with light housework. This October, I will begin my Certificate and Diploma in Ageing Support, which will allow me to further develop my care and safety skills. I'm currently applying for my WWCC and Police Check. I am friendly, patient, and committed to providing a safe and positive environment for children.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi parents, I've worked as a nanny for more than 10 years, caring for babies under one and older children too. My related experience includes support for people with disabilities, and residential care work with young adults, children, and families. I'm formally trained in visual art, and have maintained my art practice part-time. More recently, I've also studied horticulture. As a nanny, I appreciate assisting with children's developmental stages, enjoying reading to them, and art and craft activities. I value excursions to Melbourne's great sites, including Melbourne museum, Botanical Gardens, etc - and just getting outside to the local park! I believe outdoor play is important for social and motor skills development. The sheer delight and wonder children express while exploring their environment and learning about themselves is a real joy and great aspect to being a nanny! I’m a competent cook and happy to do occasional evenings for families I work with. Thank you, Isobel

Looking for: Casual Babysitting

I have always looked after my cousins since they were born, and for a few years I also worked as a babysitter. I like playing with them, taking care of them, and growing up together while sharing simple but meaningful moments. Spending time with children has taught me patience, responsibility, and how to see the world from a different perspective. I believe that very often it is children who teach adults important things: spontaneity, honesty, and the ability to be happy with little. Growing up alongside them has been an experience that has greatly enriched me over time and in my personal growth.

Hi, I'm Lucie and I'm 25 years old from the UK but I have been living in Australia for the past 2 years. I hold an ACECQA diploma in childcare and I’m looking for casual babysitting / nannying. Currently, based in St Kilda. Throughout my time in Australia I have been working as an Au Pair / nanny with 2 different families. Last year I spent 7 months caring for 2 young boys in Queensland and I have just completed 10 months caring and nannying for a 6 year old boy here in Melbourne. These duties included before and after school care ( prep breakfast and lunch boxes, taking and picking up from school, homework, playing, dinner prep and bed time routines). I have also been doing weekend work for other families in between from ages as young as 10 months to 11 year olds. I enjoy activities with the children such as arts, crafts, sports, walking to parks, and games. I believe my confidence with children has exceptionally grown with having 2 years of experience in childcare as well as verbal communication, patience, and creativity. Most importantly the safety and well-being of your child is the crucial factor when working in this sector and I would love to help your families in caring for your children.
