Hi families! My name is Tania Gleason, and I’m a student-athlete (track sprinter) at Doane University in Nebraska, USA. I’m graduating in May 2026 and relocating to Spotswood, VIC on a Working Holiday Visa. I’m outgoing, caring, and passionate about working with children.

I look forward to connecting with your family! I am working on my WWCC as well. Thank you!

I have always had a deep love for being around children and being part of their world as they grow, learn, and discover who they are. Watching a child develop their personality, confidence, and skills is something I find incredibly rewarding. I naturally connect with children through patience, warmth, and genuine care, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where they feel comfortable and valued. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s child, and I treat every child I look after as if they were my own. Supporting their curiosity, encouraging creativity, and being a calm, positive presence is something I am truly passionate about. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the movies, spending quality time with my partner, walking our dogs, reading, and being with my family, all of which reflect the caring and family-oriented values I bring into my work with children.

I'm an experienced 39 year old housing and homelessness worker who absolutely adores kids. I have years of full-time nannying experience for many wonderful families, however, I've recently made the move into social services. I have performed in professional children's theatre companies in Aus, NZ and Asia. I love to sing and play characters and if your child loves these things too, then I'm the carer for your family! I'm a big book-worm so encouraging story time and helping young people learn to read is a huge passion of mine. I'm also an arts and crafts nut so I have lots of ways to spend a rainy afternoon when we can't venture to the park. I have experience looking after all age ranges, including newborns, and I once single-handedly bathed, fed, read, sung to and tucked up 7 kids from 2 - 10 in one evening. I have a current Police Check, Working With Children Check, First Aid and Anaphylaxis certificates, a reliable car and a nannying and children's theatre CV that I can send. I'm happy to generally tidy kitchen and living areas as well as do children's washing and change bedding. I have cooked kid's meals in the past and I make great lunches which tick all the nutritional boxes. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I'm Jodie. I've been caring for children for over 30 years and genuinely love spending time with kids of all ages. From babysitting throughout my teens, to working in a childcare centre in Western Australia, to spending three years as a full-time live-in nanny in London, caring for children has always been something I've enjoyed. Today, I'm a mum to three wonderful children aged 12, 8 and 5, living in Port Melbourne. Between raising my own children, looking after their friends, local babysitting for families in the area, and my previous professional experience, I've spent most of my life caring for children and supporting busy families. With over 30 years' experience caring for children and raising three of my own, I bring a calm, practical and nurturing approach to every family I work with. As a parent myself, I know how difficult it can be to find a babysitter you genuinely trust. My goal is always to ensure children feel safe, happy, engaged and well cared for while parents enjoy complete peace of mind. Now that my youngest is at school full-time, my ideal availability is during school hours. However, I'm also happy to be flexible and can assist with the occasional after-school pick-up, evening babysitting, weekend care, date nights, or when parents simply need an extra pair of hands. I hold a current Working With Children Check, have my own reliable vehicle, am a non-smoker, and am comfortable caring for children of all ages. I'm always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand, as I understand how important it is for both parents and children to feel comfortable and confident. If you're looking for an experienced, reliable and caring babysitter who genuinely loves children, I'd love to hear from you. Jodie Foster 📍 Port Melbourne 📞 0415 714 993 📧 jodie.josephine@gmail.com
