Babysitters in Preston, VIC

I am 27 years old, and I come from Italy. I am a PhD student currently living in Preston. I have several babysitting experiences that I have collected in the course of 7 years. I have taken care of children aged 20 months to 10 years old. The most significant experience was taking care of a girl for 2 years, at times also overnight, and for consecutive days when her single parent had to travel for work; this also entailed taking care of the whole household. I am very playful and enjoy thinking of creative games for the children. I am also available for teaching Italian and/ or Spanish to the little ones.

Hi there! I am currently 23 years old, living independently in Thornbury and have graduated from RMIT (2023) studying a Bachelor of Criminology and Psychology. I am currently looking for casual babysitting opportunities before I start looking for roles in my career (in 2025/2026). I have previously looked after a family with 3 children (aged 8-13, from Feb-Dec 2022), and I am currently nannying for a family with 2 kids aged 10 & 12 (January 2024-current). I have also had many casual babysitting opportunities looking after toddlers and tweens (Dec 2021-current). I have limited experience working with children under the age of 1. I can provide references for these experiences :) I am after work that is rewarding, and allows me to form greater connections to those that I am supporting. My aspiration is to work in a counselling or case management setting that works with vulnerable families and youth/children. I have previously worked in a psychologist’s office where I assisted children with additional needs in their activities, and sat into occupational therapy sessions. I hope to bring the things I have learnt in this role with me! In addition to my part time work as a nanny, I am currently a Peer Mentor volunteer at Kids First, and a Crisis Supporter Volunteer at Lifeline. I am also an experienced pet sitter and dog walker, so I would be happy to help out with any pets as well. I am fully vaccinated (up to date boosters as well), have a WWCC, a police check issued in September of 2024, with a full and current driver’s license.

Hi Everyone! I'm an experienced childcare worker who loves children. I’m currently seeking part time daytime work with newborns - toddlers as this is my specialty. I've had experience with private nannying/babysitting, daycare centres and teaching overseas at ESL schools. I’m comfortable with a number of kids at once if you have older school aged kids which also need care. I feel privileged to work with beautiful little children and I take my work seriously. Looking forward to meeting you!

My name is Vivien, I am a first year uni student at RMIT. I have been babysitting around my neighbourhood for 3 years and really enjoy hanging out with the kids! I am able to look after multiple children, keeping them safe, entertained and happy! I frequently look after 3 siblings aged 1-6 so I am confident and able to look after any age!

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.

Hi! My name is Jaslyn and I'm currently a student and the University of Melbourne. I have been babysitting since I was probably 15 years old. I also have worked two ski seasons where I spent the majority of my time in the kids centre teaching children how to ski! I love working with kids and teaching them new activities, skills, and facts. I'm passionate, kind and caring. Love the outdoors, going on adventures and trying new skills. My hobbies are art/crafts, reading and sports (obviously skiing). Additionally, if I am minding kids while they are not up and about then I often help out by cleaning the kitchen and tidying up (the family I worked for last few years got me to organise their tupperware drawer every month -my favourite job!)

Hi my name is Millie! I have a bubbly, enthusiastic and playful personality. I have previous babysitting experience through my neighbours, family and members on this app and get great feedback from parents. I thoroughly enjoy the company of little ones and have always connected well with them. I love playing with kids, making silly stories with toys and going for outside adventures! From being involved with kids as well as work experience at a kindergarten, I’ve decided I want to study Paediatric Occupational Therapy in uni. I enjoy playing the drums, being in nature, cuddling with animals, doing craft and having quality time with close ones. My availability is flexible as I’m taking a gap year this year, so looking for some casual, part-time, or full-time jobs. I am responsible, confident, caring, talkative, supportive, organised and reliable. I can provide a valid Working With Children’s Check, I am on my P’s and I can supply a car. I hope to meet some lovely families!

I am a nursing student who is affectionate, caring and empathetic. As I was the eldest daughter of my joint family, taking care of others comes naturally to come. I grew up taking care of younger siblings, so working around children makes me feel like home. Working as a nanny made me organised, a great planner and communicator.When I was in school, loved to participate in art and recreation activities and have studied children's health as one my electives in nursing. My mother was a teacher, teaching and learning was something I got from her and really enthusiastic about it as well.

Hi my name is Elaine. I am a mother of 3 older children. I am currently working in the childcare industry. I have experience with all ages from birth to teenagers. I’m very passionate, caring reliable and organised. I enjoy guiding and interacting with children. Looking forward to hearing from families 🙂

Hello there! A little about me: I’m a compassionate, friendly, and caring person who is responsible and patient. I have a high spirit and a passion for life, remaining optimistic at all times. I am determined and confident in my abilities. Helping children grow in a healthy, happy, and safe environment is very important to me and comes naturally. I believe in educating children about right and wrong, as well as instilling great manners, which I encourage strongly. I have worked for many families in Australia and overseas, and I have also raised my own four children, including a set of twins, who are now wonderful young adults—educated, intelligent, and well-respected individuals (though I may be biased!). Throughout my many years of experience, I have cared for over a dozen families and have also worked with children who are hard of hearing, autistic, or battling leukemia. In addition to childcare, I do light housekeeping, including cooking and baking, which I truly enjoy, although it depends on the time available. I’m happy to assist with all ages of children; they are all lovely and unique in their own ways, and each presents its own delightful challenges. My previous occupations, aside from being a nanny, include laboratory assistant, fitness instructor, hospitality worker, caterer, receptionist, retail manager, administration officer, and integration aide. Although I am 58 years old, I am full of energy, fit, and healthy, and I embrace a healthy lifestyle, which keeps my outlook on life youthful! I have excellent references from previous and current employers who can verify my experience and work ethic as a nanny and educator. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss your family's needs. I look forward to hearing from you! Many thanks, Maria 😊
