Looking for: Casual Babysitting

My name is Monica, I'm an only child and a year 12 student hoping to go into uni next year to study forensic science. I'm turning 18 in August of this year and love to spend time with kids. I don't have a wwcc which I know many people are looking for, while I have tried applying for one I am unable to do so until I turn 18. I am passionate about whatever I do and whatever challenge is put in front of me, I will work to the best of my abilities to do great. I'm very efficient with taks I am given, I am very organised and I love to be challenged.

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

I’ve worked in OSHC (after-school care), so I’m really comfortable with kids aged 5–12. I’ve also babysat my younger cousins since they were babies (now 4 and 9), so I have experience with younger kids too. I can change nappies—though it’s been a while since the youngest is now potty trained! I genuinely enjoy being around kids and usually end up at the kids’ table at family events. At OSHC, I helped prepare afternoon tea, ran activities, and supported staff. I’m currently studying a Certificate IV in School-Based Education Support and would love to keep working with kids, hopefully as a nanny. I’m creative and love arts and crafts.

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

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.

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.
