Babysitters in Northcote, VIC

Dear families, Lorielle, a 35-year-old from Réunion Island, France. Raised with my parents and two older brothers, I've been enjoying life's simple pleasures. I'm a dynamic, easygoing person who loves being around positive individuals and learning from them. Creativity is my forte – I enjoy drawing, painting, and working with clay. A skilled cook, I love experimenting with recipes from around the world. Music, dance, and singing are essential parts of my daily routine. Fluent in French, Creole, and English, with a dash of Spanish, I've been in Melbourne since November 2016. My experience includes being an au pair for a 1-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, as well as a part-time nanny for a 17-month-old and a 5-year-old. I've also worked as a casual nanny for various families, and references are available. Children seem drawn to me wherever I go, and I cherish the opportunity to help them grow and befriend them. Currently available. Feel free to reach out – I'd love to connect! Warm regards, Lorielle

Other hobbies of mine include baking (my favourite is banana bread), cooking (in case you need help with mealtime or other household chores) and exploring nature (hiking, foraging and outdoor games are some of my favourites).

Hi, I’m Grace! I’m a primary school teacher with 9 years of experience and have done casual babysitting in the past while studying. I enjoy spending time with kids and can provide a calm and caring environment. I’m available for casual babysitting and happy to help out when needed.

Aside from being a housewife and parent to my two boys (aged 9 and 11), I do a lot of volunteer work at their school. I　finished Certificate IV in School Based Education Support. However, I do still have some spare time while my kids are at school, and I would love to spend it helping other mums who are having a hard time. I am very caring, patient, friendly and energetic. I don't like the idea of kids using screens, especially when they are at a young age, and so I've learned to be very creative and flexible when playing with kids.

As an experienced Early Childhood Educator and accomplished Musician, I bring over 13 years of expertise in nurturing and educating young children. I have recently returned to Melbourne after spending 1.5 years overseas. Prior to this, I served as the Music Specialist at Isabel Henderson for over 4.5 years, where I developed and led innovative music programs designed for young learners. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working with children in a variety of settings, including kindergartens across Melbourne's inner north and as a nanny for several families. I maintain strong relationships with all of my previous employers, who can provide glowing references. My expertise lies in supporting children who need additional assistance to navigate and thrive in an often overwhelming world. I value the importance of my experience and skills, which is reflected in my pay rate. I am available to work on Wednesdays through Fridays and am happy to assist with cleaning, laundry, and cooking. As a vegetarian, I specialise in plant-based cooking, and my experience with preparing meat-based dishes is limited.
