Babysitters in The Patch, VIC

Hi there 😊 Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I genuinely love spending time with children, and I've worked with all ages. From newborns to teenagers. I've had a lot of experience with babies and toddlers so I'm very comfortable and confident with feeding, bathing, changing, and bedtime routines. I also have experience with twins and with using responsive settling to help resolve sleeping issues, so if you're struggling at night or need an extra hand in those early stages, please reach out. My style is warm hearted, kind, patient, nurturing and loving. I practice meditation and mindfulness which flows through to my work and allows me to maintain peace and calm when faced with challenges. I am encouraging and enthusiastic with children, which allows them to blossom and shine in their own unique ways. I love being outdoors and an average day with me usually includes a walk to the local park, nature reserve, cafe, or at the very least a run around the backyard. I also enjoy outings to the Collingwood Children's Farm, Scienceworks, the Museum, the local Library and many more adventures when time permits. I've worked as an au pair in France, a volunteer teacher in Nepal, and a nanny and babysitter in Melbourne. I have a reliable car, I'm willing to travel and I can provide reliable references including one family that I worked with for 8 years. Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best in finding that perfect nanny or babysitter to suit your family.

Hi my name is Emma. I have over 16 years experience in early childhood and hold my Diploma in Children's Services and Working With Children's Check. For 10 years I worked as a room leader at a small early learning centre, where I cared for children aged 0-6 and eventually was the Assistant Director for a few years. I also worked as a kindergarten assistant at a sessional kinder, while nannying for two families in the afternoon/ evenings. I left my role at the kinder and nannying at the end of 2019, just before my daughter was born. I’ve had lots of other experience with casual and regular babysitting / nannying for children of all ages. This included over night and weekly stays while parents were out of town for work or social events. As well as school and kinder pick ups, taking children to other activities and maintaining consistency with their routine and schedules eg. Dinner, homework, bed time etc. I prioritise building trusting relationships with the children I care for, where they can feel safe and accepted to be themselves and know that their opinions, needs and interests are valued. When I’m nannying, the children’s needs always come first. But I’m also more than happy to help out with any general home duties and will always make myself useful when the opportunity arises, as I know the difference this can make to a parents workload. I’m a genuine, easy going and honest person. I love finding experiences that spark children’s joy and imagination and bringing this into our time together. I respect the values, structure and expectations of the families I work with and do my best to maintain consistency in this. I’ve always loved my work with children and their families and since becoming a mum myself, I’ve come to appreciate and understand even more, just how important it is to find the right person to welcome into your family, home and children’s lives. If you feel that my personality and experience might suit your family, please feel free to get in touch. I’m happy to email through my resume or answer any questions. Thank you
