Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hello! I moved to Australia over thirteen years ago from Canada to work as an au pair. I have over twenty years of experience caring for children from as young as newborns to children older in age. I completed the Babysitter’s course at the age of twelve and my many years of childcare experience began at a young age by caring for family friends children as well as my brother and sister who are twelve and ten years younger than me. I have worked as an au pair and nanny over my time here in Australia, in both Victoria and in Western Australia. I have also been qualified as a family and children’s yoga teacher which I am very passionate about. I absolutely love working with children, being a supportive person in their life and being someone to help in teaching them meaningful practices like mindfulness. I love cooking and am someone that cleans up as I go. I am able to take care of the children while ensuring household tasks are also taken care of. First Aid is consistently maintained with my last certification being granted on 07/01/2026. WWCC: 18/09/2030.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

🌺 Hello and Welcome to April's Pro PlayCare 🌺 A little about myself, I’m originally from Northern California and spent the last seven years living in Hawaii where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology as well as taking three years of American Sign Language. I am eager to learn Auslan and continue my education in sign language. I made the move to Melbourne July 2025 to begin an exciting new chapter with my husband, who was born and raised here. We currently live near Albert Park Lake with our loving cat. I enjoy reading, taking walks, and continuing my yoga practice as I have done for the past fifteen years. Over those fifteen years, my work has always been centered around caring for children. I began as a babysitter, then found a job as a swim instructor (teaching all ages, from babies to adults). For the past seven years, I’ve specialized in supporting children with special needs, both one-on-one and group settings, in home and community environments. My work has focused on helping kids learn, grow, communicate, and thrive through compassionate care. In addition, I have completed my WWCC, police check, and hold my own ABN. That being said, I am comfortable tracking hours, writing up contracts, and providing weekly invoices for services provided. I have been working here since August 2025 with an amazing family that have two kids aged 3 and 11 months in Malvern East. I am grateful to have found such a loving family to help me continue to build my business and use my knowledge gained from my studies at University of Hawaii. I’m looking to increase my work hours and am available Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and occasional weekends. I would be happy to provide a letter of recommendation from the family I am currently with. *One last note... I don’t currently have a car, though I’m confident commuting via public transport. Thank you for taking your time to read about me. Message if you have any additional questions and I look forward to hearing about you and how I can help :)

Looking for: Full-time,Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi, I'm Sabrina! I'm stocked to introduce myself as a prospective babysitter, and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with your family. With a lifelong passion for working with children, I've been an unofficially babysitter to my baby sister since I was 10 years old and have been the go-to unpaid babysitter for my younger cousins. Additionally, I've worked at a preschool, organized summer camp activities, and worked with children aged 3 to teens. These experiences have not only honed my skills but also deepened my love for creating engaging and nurturing environments for kids. The kids I've worked with would likely describe me as the "coolest and most fun teacher" - an empathic listener, a great storyteller (I'm also the author of two books!), and maybe a bit of a softie when it comes to board games (I like to let them win!). My sister, on the other hand, might offer a more critical perspective, but I'm sure she'd agree that I'm responsible, ensure things don't get out of control, and prioritize her well-being including limiting screen time and making sure she eats and sleeps on time! As a babysitter, I'm committed to creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for your little ones. I'm passionate about getting to know each child as an individual and tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs and interests. I'm enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with your family and would love the chance to discuss how I can contribute to your child's care and development. Thank you for considering my application! Best regards, Sabrina Fernandez
