Hi, I’m Amber! Originally from Cornwall, UK, I’ve been living in Melbourne since 2022 with my partner. I am looking for casual babysitting or regular Friday nannying, as I miss the creativity and fun that comes from spending time with little ones. I started babysitting at 14 (for neighbours, family friends, my parent's colleagues) - probably a bit young in retrospect, but 'twas the done thing of the 2010's! - and have cared for children of all ages since. Many moons ago, when I was 19, I worked full time as a live-in Au Pair for an 18 month and 3-year-old in Albert Park, Melbourne, and was a babysitter for a lot of other parents in the area. During this time: 🌻I was responsible for taking the kids to kinder, day care, and playgroups 🌻Constantly on the lookout for fun, educational and exciting activities in Albert Park and beyond! 🌻Kept the house clean and tidy 🌻Made dinners for the whole family, breakfast and lunches for the kids 🌻Managed the washing machine and ironing board 🌻Helped the parents with other ad-hoc duties I also regularly minded my brother’s kids from birth (until I moved to Aus). I have a valid Working With Children Check and police check. I'm creative, fun, and love engaging kids in imaginative play. I am always keen to be outdoors or chilling at home with games, baking, or crafts. My empathetic and caring nature helps children feel safe, understood, and supported. I’d love to be a trusted helper for your family! I am 30, work part-time for an ACCO, and am training to become a certified yoga instructor. I am available on evenings, all day Fridays, and am open to weekend work. My rate is negotiable for longer hours. Please feel free to message me, I'm very responsive. Look forward to speaking to you! ✨ Please note Sept 26: Most of my paid babysitting was over 10 years ago, so referrals may be tricky to obtain.

Hi my name is Matilda, I value time outdoors in nature, making/viewing art, reading, sewing, photography and time spent with friends and family. I have a strong work ethic and am committed to providing the best quality care. I am a trustworthy, dependable, consistent, flexible and empathetic individual, who has good communication and interpersonal skills. I value my experiences babysitting and have always done my best to cater to each childs needs and support their development. In my experiences I worked alongside their parents to ensure I understood their routines and provided a supportive and stable environment. I have also been doing work as an NDIS disability support worker, helping my client to reach their goals and supporting them as they do so, this position requires patience, empathy and the ability to adapt. Also during my experiences in customer service I have enjoyed meeting new people from all walks of life. Working in and studying Conservation and Land Management is also a passion of mine, during which I have learnt important skills such as self-management, teamwork, problem-solving and adaptability/ flexibility. While I worked in environmental education and conservation, I was required to display a willingness to work in different environments, remain fit and healthy, keep updated with rules and regulations and work with diverse people. All of which I believe will help me be a great baby sitter.

Hello! I’m a qualified music teacher and experienced tutor, and I’m excited to bring my love of working with children into a nannying role. I’ve taught piano, guitar and singing, as well as tutoring primary and high school students, so I love finding ways to make learning feel creative, engaging and fun. I’m someone who genuinely enjoys doing things with kids, rather than simply keeping them occupied. Whether it’s making music, getting creative with arts and crafts, cooking together, exploring the outdoors or heading off on an adventure around Melbourne’s inner north, I love creating fun and memorable days. I also work in community health in the Darebin area, where I support people with their healthcare needs. This has given me a strong understanding of different cultures, families, lifestyles and individual needs, as well as taught me to approach people with patience, empathy and genuine care. I take a lot of pride in supporting people who may be experiencing challenging circumstances. I’m a true inner-north local and love finding new places to explore, from parks and playgrounds to libraries, galleries, markets and other hidden gems. I’m also naturally organised, house-proud and a great cook, so I’m very happy to help keep things running smoothly at home too.
