Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

My name is Sarah, I am currently looking for part time work as a baby sitter while I continue my studies in somatic therapy and education. Besides my studies/interests in movement and health I am also a musician and a qualified yoga teacher. I have experience working as a baby sitter for children aged 6 months - 15 years old and feel confident looking after children of all ages. I have a gentle and patient approach to looking after children. This comes naturally to me as I have a genuine appreciation for children and child development and feel it is a unique privilege to be able to spend the working day going at children’s paces. I am confident and happy to facilitate play with kids, pulling from my experience baby sitting, teaching childrens yoga, as well as my interests in creative areas. I also love to cook and very much appreciate clean environments, meaning I am happy to include domestic duties as a part of my role baby sitting.

I’ve worked in OSHC (after-school care), so I’m really comfortable with kids aged 5–12. I’ve also got experience with younger children but not as much.

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

Hello families! My name is Lucy and I am a 29-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 fun and games, especially that of make-believe.

I am a Film and TV freelancer and recent masters graduate who loves kids and the joy they bring!

I'm a responsible, friendly, and trustworthy, looking to find temporary work for the next few months, with the potential of extending. As a child of a single mother, I know how hard parents work and how much they give up for their children, and I'm looking to help out with whatever your family might need, while also providing a happy, active, and stable environment for those in my care. I am flexible and will work according to your needs, and am open to the full range of babysitting duties, from adventures on school holidays, to watching footy training from the sidelines, to overnight stays for those working nights, like my mum did! I am willing to work with children of all ages, and can assure you that no matter the child, the type of babysitting you are after, or any unforeseen events that inevitably arise, I am capable of adapting, and acting accordingly, with the safety, wellbeing, and happiness of your child being my top priority. Plus, kids are just really really fun, and it is such a pleasure to be let into their worlds.

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. I have a Working with Children Check, current Police Check, First Aid & CPR, EpiPen and Fire Warden training, as well as a full driver’s licence and my own car. I’d love to support your family with creativity, warmth, reliability and care. Please feel free to reach out! 🌿🎨🎶
