Babysitters in Preston, VIC

Hello My names Alana. I have worked with children for over 28 years and I’m a fully qualified diploma educator. I have two teenage boys and have a passion watching children grow and develop.

Hi, I’m Erika! I’m currently studying Education at uni and have previously worked in childcare roles, so I’m confident caring for kids of different ages. I’m patient, calm, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children, whether that’s playing games, doing crafts, helping with homework, or sticking to bedtime routines. I understand how important trust and communication are for parents, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and relaxed environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for.

I have experience babysitting, teachings kids yoga, and supporting parents with newborns. I am caring, thoughtful, and engaging. I love being active and finding fun and creative ways to stimulate the mind, as well as re-regulating nervous systems and being a calming presence. I am available for last minute casual babysitting, or some regular work as well, around Preston, and Coburg.

Hello! I’m an italian student in exchange to Melbourne. I am in my early twenties, very active and organised: I enjoy cooking, walking, doing arts/crafts or reading. I am well travelled so I’m open to language exchange! I have never formally been a nanny, although I lived with small children during a previous exchange in highschool and took care small ones within my family. Besides, I have mainly worked in hospitality so I have an eye for details and value collaborating with others! I would love to take care of a child in my free time, as I will be also studying developmental psychology, and would love to work with care in a welcoming household (so I’m more than eager to learn how to better help the child).

Hi, I’m Madeleine. I am a caring, fun-loving, creative, flexible and responsible nanny/babysitter. I am also a teacher of piano and singing 4 evenings a week plus Saturday morning. I have over 15 years experience caring for kids of all ages including newborn. I'm looking to pick up a regular day/mornings or just more casual babysitting. I am prepared to be flexible with times and have my own car, and can drive up to 30kms. I like to help with homework/learning and I'm happy to do cleaning and tidying or whatever you need around the house. I have a Working With Children Card and a Police Check and have great references. Love to hear from you and open to short notice requests

Hello families! My name is Lucy and I am a 28-year old nanny seeking full-time, part-time or casual employment. I love children of all ages and have been working with them many years. I enjoy their playful presence and find engaging with them a rewarding and delightful experience. I have been babysitting since the age of 16 and did more comprehensive nannying for seven years, only recently taking a break to pursue my full-time career in publishing. While I have been away, I continue to babysit the children in my life, such as my toddler nephew and baby niece. My most recent nannying job was for a family in Brunswick for four years, caring for their daughter from the age of 18 months old. I saw her talk and take her first steps, develop language and social skills, and it was an absolute joy and honour to help raise her. I consider myself quite creative, so I fit easily into children's’ fun and games, especially that of make-believe.
