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!

Hi, I’m Alchemy 🌿 I’m 31, an experienced, reliable babysitter/nanny based in Melbourne, with a calm and caring approach. I’ve been babysitting on and off for around 8 years, mostly with children aged 7 and up, often in busy households with multiple kids. I’m comfortable with school drop-offs, morning routines, after-school care, and helping out wherever needed. I really enjoy spending time with kids and creating a gentle, fun, and supportive environment where they feel safe and at ease. While most of my experience has been with older children, I’m very open to caring for younger age groups and always happy to learn and adapt to each family. I’m currently looking for two full days a week, and I’m also open to helping out on weekends or extra days - whether that’s for a bit of extra support, date nights, or just giving you some time to yourself. Outside of babysitting, I’m a freelance artist, and I love bringing creativity into my time with kids through drawing, making things, or imaginative play. If you’re looking for someone warm, flexible, and genuinely caring, I’d love to hear from you.
