Looking for: Casual Babysitting

Hi, I’m Isabel. I’ve moved to Melbourne from Ireland this year and am looking for (mostly) casual babysitting and would be available at short notice for most jobs. I teach high school in Ireland but have experience with primary school also. I have years of experience nannying and babysitting in Ireland (mostly during Covid times for frontline workers). I enjoy reading, cooking, baking and many different sports. I have been cleared to VIT to teach in Victoria so therefore have a valid WWCC and a police certificate from Ireland.

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 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.

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

I am a responsible, warm, and adaptable babysitter with two years of experience as an au pair in the United States, where I cared for 2 boys (6, 8 y.o.) and supported busy family routines with patience and structure. Being part of Scouts for many years taught me independence, teamwork, creativity, and how to handle challenges calmly. I have also volunteered at school in USA, which strengthened my sense of responsibility. I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, supportive environment where kids can learn, explore, and feel understood while having fun. (It's my nephew in the profile pic! :))

Looking for: Casual Babysitting

Hi, my name is Mariah :) I am a new graduate paediatric occupational therapist and I am looking for casual evening babysitting work. The reason I decided to pursue Occupational Therapy is because of my passion for working with kids! I was lucky enough to have multiple paediatric placements across the course of my degree, both in private practice and in specialist schools. I have experience working in Kindergartens as an Additional Assistant and worked in both Canada and Scotland as an Au Pair/Live-in Nanny, which was an incredible experience. I love to 'muck-in' with the kids, take them on outings and participate in engaging activities. I will always show respect and compassion towards kids as they navigate their emotions. I am happy to prepare kids meals, do the kids laundry and the night-time routine etc. My previous work experience, coupled with my compassion, enthusiasm, honesty and nurturing nature allows me to build a wonderful rapport with children and parents. I look forward to hearing from you if this sounds like the right fit!

Looking for: Casual Babysitting

I am originally from the UK, and I have been in Australia for nearly a year. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to work in such a beautiful country. My background is in early years, and I have been working with children since 2016 in various capacities. I am a bubbly, empathetic, caring individual, and I have a nurturing, enthusiastic approach to working with children. I like to create a positive, and calming environment for children to learn and grow within. I have worked as a teaching assistant with a child with additional needs, this gave me a lot of experience with adaptability and emphasised the need for a flexible approach to learning. I have been an au pair for three different families, working with children aged 6 months, up to 4 years old. I have cared for multiple children at one time, including caring for twins. I believe understanding the child’s routine within the home is a crucial part of helping families with their day to day lives. As I have volunteered for a family based charity, I understand how important it can be to have people to support families, especially in the early years. I have a wide range of skills, and I am eager to put them into practice. I have a strong work ethic, kindness, patience, and a strong passion for working with children. I am currently working as a barista part time, and i am looking to pick up occasional nanny/babysitting work.
