Babysitters in Preston, VIC

Hi, I’m Issy - I am a 25-year-old local artist and nanny with 4+ years of experience. I believe in a team mentality and I am more than happy to help in all capacities whether that is making dinner, walking the dog, doing the washing or staying overnight with the children. I understand that building caring and meaningful relationships, with both the children and the parents, helps to support the children in all stages of childhood. If I'm not focussing on my art, I'm watching a great film with my partner and our two cats or cooking up the best vegetables you've ever eaten (I will bring your leftovers). I am COVID vaccinated. Only looking for an LGTBQ+ friendly role. :)

Hi families! I'm a social worker who is friendly, warm, caring and reliable. As a social worker I am passionate about delivering a high standard of child centred care, I am attuned, present, empathetic and I love working with kids. I have experience babysitting and I also have lots of little cousins who I treasure and who have taught me many lessons. Happy to provide parent references. I have experience working as a mental health support worker. Up until recently I was employed as a family violence case manager, supporting women and children to escape and recover from family violence. As you can imagine it was a pretty stressful role so I am taking a short break from the field and seeking some casual work in the interim. I love to cook and I am an avid cleaner so if you need a hand getting jobs done around the house I am your girl. As a child I attended a Rudolf Steiner School in the country. As a result I love all things outdoors and all things creative and would be happy to embark on adventures to the park with your little ones or to have arts and crafts days. I have a fully insured car and drivers licence and as such I am happy to do school pick ups and drop offs. I have my working with childrens check, first aid certificate, NDIS worker screening check and am fully vaccinated against covid 19.

I am a young, dynamic babysitter who is passionate about working with children. I bring experience and enthusiasm to my role as a babysitter, confidently having cared for children and infants ages 2-12. I engage well with children and am passionate about creating fun and educational activities. Additionally, I have experience as an assistant language teacher for The German Saturday School in Clifton Hill, meaning I am able to communicate effectively and adapt my approach to meet the unique needs of each child. I speak german and through this role, I have honed my ability to teach children and spike their interest in learning a second language. I have my drivers license and would be able to pick up and drop off kids.

I have completed my Bachelor in Business and I am currently undertaking my Masters in Communication part time. I have 5 years of experience in babysitting. I am an extremely friendly, fun, caring, patient and empathetic person who loves to help others. I have always loved looking after children and helping them grow. I will be able to successfully create a safe, fun and stimulating environment for the children. Additionally, I am also able to prepare basic meals and drive the children to sporting activities. I enjoy spending long days with the kids and taking them out to fun activities such as the Zoo, Aquarium, Mini golf etc. Lastly, I am exceptionally organised and reliable with a high level of personal presentation.

Hi there! I am currently 22 years old, living independently in thornbury and have just graduated from RMIT (in 2023) studying a bachelor of criminology and psychology. I am currently looking for casual babysitting opportunities before I start looking for roles in my future career (in 2025/2026). I have previously looked after a family with 3 kids (aged 8-13) in 2022, and currently nannying for a family with 2 kids aged 10 & 11. I have also had many casual babysitting opportunities looking after toddlers and tweens. 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 helping. My aspiration is to work in a counselling or case management setting that works with families and youth/children in the system. 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! 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 march of 2023, and will be fully licensed in october 2024.

Hi! I’m Natalie and 19 years old. Not studying or travelling so I have ample time to work. Exceptional time management, communication and reliability. Always happy to give a helping hand and understand parental struggles growing up in a single parent household. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thankyou!

Hi there, I've recently relocated to Melbourne after six wonderful years in Byron Bay. I enjoy outdoor adventures, cooking, and engaging with the creative arts and music. With over five years of experience as an Early Childhood Educator, I’m passionate about nurturing children and providing them with opportunities to learn and grow. I take pride in offering one-on-one support to children and helping families to make life a bit easier.

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 ! I’m Tabitha and I’m the eldest daughter in my family and I’m currently studying design/arts in university.

My passions include arts, reading and cooking ! I can help around the house keeping it clean and tidy and I’m more than happy to cook. On the weekends I am available anytime and during the week I am available some days. Please feel free to message me for further information :)

Hi families! I am a 28 year old creative, fun-loving and responsible babysitter currently completing my master of Clinical Psychology. I have experience looking after mostly 2-8 year olds and I have also worked in primary before/after school care (5-12 year olds) for a number of years, as well as tutoring for high school kids. I have found my studies in Educational and Developmental Psychology to be extremely helpful in my interactions with kids and love encouraging them to learn about the world in a way that is fun and supportive. I am an active and creative person and enjoy dance, art, music, cooking, sports, and nature. I have university classes around 2 days/week and work in Youth Mental Health on weekends and some evenings, so am looking for around 5-15 hours/week preferably Monday, Tuesdays, Thursdays or Fridays during the day with some other flexibility. I have limited access to a car so would prefer something nearby. *Please note I am away from the 14th-25th November.

Some activities I can do with kids include various DIY crafts, homework help, reading books, trips to the park, playing ball and frisbee, dancing, cooking and baking.

Hi lovely parents! My name is Téa and I am looking for some extra work, either part time or casual. Ideally, any parents reaching out need someone to babysit/child mind once a week, once a fortnight, or to help in regards to an upcoming event. Background: I am currently in my second year of uni, studying a bachelor of arts at the University of Melbourne. I major in psychology, and hope to one day work as an animal assisted therapist for children. Availability: I am available to work every day, at any time (except Fridays between 10:30am and 3pm). I currently work with 2 lovely families. One that requires casual babysitting once every fortnight or so after hours, so my availability can fluctuate but I will happily convey this with you. And a second that requires before and after school help from 7:30am till 10am, and again from 3:30pm till 6pm. Rate: My rate is $40 per hour, but I charge an extra $10 per hour (ie. $50 per hour) if you are wanting me to stay past midnight. Services: 1. Babysitting/child minding 2. Pet sitting 3. Cooking 4. Light cleaning 5. Basic homework help 6. Fun! Experience and Qualifications: As I’ve mentioned, I am currently working with teo families. One where I look after two young boys aged 9 and 12, and another where I look after a 6 yearold girl and her newborn brother. However, my experience working with children is much more vast. One of my hobbies growing up was playing chess, and I have fortunately been able to make a job out of it by tutoring primary and secondary school students. I have worked solo with classes of 3 to 20+ students at a time, and in team settings with 400 kids under my care. This means that I have gained a deep understanding as how to work with children who have learning difficulties and behavioural challenges. My work also requires me to have an employee wwcc and first aid certificate in an education and care setting. Upon request I am happy to share this with you. I have my license and can take kids to and from school/sport or any other activities. If I had your permission, I would love to take them to the zoo, park, bowling, etc to keep them entertained and happy. I completely understand if you would prefer to meet me before agreeing to any work and am happy to do so. Can’t wait to hear from you :)
