Babysitters in Thornbury, VIC

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.

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.

Hello parents! I'm Kelly, a 38-year-old who's got a blend of wisdom and childlike wonder, available for casual babysitting. I am a regular ad hoc babysitter for multiple families across Fitzroy, Thornbury, Preston, and Brunswick East, with kids aged 1 to 11 years old. I am also a regular babysitter for my 3yo niece, who never fails to fill my heart with happiness as she explores the world. Babysitting is a joy, filled with crafts, playgrounds, Disney movies, baking sessions, bike rides, science experiments, and story time. I enjoy cooking and often prepare nourishing meals for the kids. Although my main focus is on giving the kids my full care and attention, I might have time to whip up a meal for parents as well. Warmth, authenticity, and nurturing are my go-tos. I'm all about fostering creativity and curiosity, making every moment a blend of fun and learning. Kids have this incredible knack for reminding us of life's simple joys, and I find that truly inspiring. While I work full-time from 9 am to 5 pm, I operate from home on Fridays, so offer flexible support on that day, and most evenings and weekends are also open. I am excited about the opportunity to connect with you and your children, creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for their growth and happiness. Looking forward to speaking with you soon! 😊

I am a mature, responsible, fun loving nanny with over eight years experience working with children of various ages. I am not a huge fan of children using devices and prefer to interact with them. I am comfortable setting and adhering to boundaries and find it gives children a sense of security. I have a WWC, police check, am fully vaccinated, a clean license and reliable car and good parental references. I enjoy cooking, craft, board games and gardening. Please contact me if you think I can be of service to you.

My name is Faustine, I'm 21 and I'm French ! I am currently an au pair with a family in Melbourne on the North Coast, I take care of a little boy aged 5. I take him to school every morning and pick him up every afternoon. However, I am free every weekend and weekday evenings from around 6 p.m./6:30 p.m. Having an 11-year-old sister, I feel very comfortable with children. I've had the opportunity to look after her since she was born, which has given me experience in childcare. I also have a little cousin (of whom I am godmother), she is 8 months old and I look after her very regularly. In addition, In July 2022, I worked at the Festival des Jeux de Parthenay, a two-week festival organized throughout the town with different game stands such as board games, wooden games and manual games. I was in charge of the motor skills stand for children aged 1 to 12. It was a very rewarding experience. For several years now, I've also been babysitting at weddings and events. I look after children aged between 0 and 12 for an entire evening, sometimes even afternoons and nights. I organize a variety of age-appropriate activities for them, such as board games, painting, coloring, modeling clay and reading. I understand the importance of creating a safe, warm and stimulating environment for children. I am also aware of the responsibilities that come with this role, and I am fully committed to giving your children all the attention and support they need.

Hi there! I'm Electra, and I recently graduated from Oxford University with a Bachelor's in Economics and Management. I've been casually babysitting and nannying since I was 16, and I absolutely love working with children. My approach to childcare is comprehensive, drawing on my extensive experience in nannying, tutoring, and first aid. Over the past five years, I’ve tutored various subjects at both the primary and secondary school levels. I’m passionate about helping kids with their daily homework and any challenging concepts they might be struggling with at school, as I believe it's crucial for them to feel confident in their abilities. Recognising that a child's home is a significant part of their world, I’m dedicated to assisting with household management, including cleaning, decluttering, laundry, and other duties, to ensure their environment is as comfortable as possible. Food plays a vital role in both happiness and health. I enjoy cooking and strive to make mealtimes special by preparing nutritious meals and engaging in meaningful conversations over dinner. Safety is my top priority. During my five-year tenure as an Assistant Age Manager at my local surf lifesaving club, I taught ocean safety skills to children of all ages and earned several first aid qualifications. I was honored to be named Assistant Age Manager of the Year in 2019. I also enjoy collaborating with parents to establish consistent rules and boundaries within the family unit, creating an environment of trust, love, support, and stability for your children. Together, we can ensure a nurturing and secure atmosphere for your family.
