Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi, I am a mature, experienced, active, healthy, happy and passionate carer. I have been looking after children since I was 13. Have two grown up children and 4 grandchildren. Currently working as a Nanny/ PA . I cook, tidy, sort, organize, cater and personally assist with errands for various families already. Now I am ready to fill my available times in my working week.. I have experience with newborns and I can help new mother's also. I can do some casual work in my spare time, or have permanent work, if it fits my weekly workload. I have kept in touch long term with some of the families who I’ve worked for in the past. I have experience from newborn to teenagers. Lately I have been working with babies a lot... I speak, read and write fluent English and Hungarian,( I can understand a very minimal German .)-- also teach and participate in Hungarian folk-dance two evenings a week. Dancing is a big part of my life, it is a great way to keep fit!! Also love gardening, and spending time on the beach...or riding my bike.. I am a MOTIVATED, EXPERIENCED, CARING, RESPONSIBLE, PATIENT, and RELIABLE person with common sense, and good organizing skills. I have worked with a family with multiple children, and have taken sole care of 3 children under 3 years old, including twins and premature newborns. I love children, and they love me too :-) Would prefer daytime work (available from early morning), but I will be happy to do casual hrs as well. You will be surprised what can be achieved in a few hrs in the morning! I can be very flexible for the right family, as all my references will tell you. Family pets are no problem. I have checkable (GREAT) references for you. Looking forward to hearing from you. ****Thank you, and have a great day :). Maria H

Looking for: Casual Babysitting

Hi! I’m a teacher from England who moved to Australia at the end of August. I currently work as a Casual Relief Teacher (CRT) in both primary and secondary schools, teaching Physical Education and Health. I was also a PE and Health teacher back home in England. I’ve always really enjoyed working with children and have plenty of experience outside of teaching too. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a holiday camp leader and sports coach with primary school-aged children, as well as a swimming teacher. I love being active, getting children involved in fun activities and making sure they feel happy, comfortable and safe. I’m looking for casual babysitting work during the school holidays, and I’m also available for occasional evening babysitting during school terms if needed. I’m friendly, patient, reliable and responsible, and I’m very comfortable looking after children of different ages. I understand the importance of being someone parents can trust, and I always aim to create a fun but safe environment for the children I’m caring for. I have a current Police Check and Victorian Institute of Teaching (VIT) registration, and I’m happy to provide these upon request. I also have my own car and a clean driving licence, so I’m able to help with school or activity drop-offs and pick-ups if needed.

Hi I am Mila!! I am studying a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) Honours and a Bachelor of Arts at Monash Uni. I am currently working as a swim coach at the St Kilda Sea Baths. I teach tiny little babies to swim through a lot of singing, learn to swim classes aswell as adults and squads. I also coach netball at Wesley College. I have worked with professionally for 4 years now but have always been babysitting through my teen years. My experience has allowed me to bring empathy, patience and understanding to every situation I am in. Outside of work and school I absolutely love to read, bake, spend time with my friends especially if it involves travelling to a beach down the Great Ocean Rd or the Peninsula, finding live music to listen to, playing heaps of sport including AFL, netball and swimming and travelling the world. I love to be busy and fill my days learning from others. From the ages of 3-13 my family had either an au pair or a nanny. I understand the impact it can have when someone goes above and beyond to put some extra thought, time and care into helping a family. I can’t wait to meet your family! ✅WWCC ✅Police Check ✅CPR Certification ✅First Aid
