I'm reliable, nurturing, and always up for a game and some fun. I’d love to help out with your little ones!

Hi, I’m Amber! Originally from Cornwall, UK, I’ve been living in Melbourne for three years with my partner. I started babysitting at 16 and have cared for children of all ages ever since. I’ve worked as an au pair for a 1.5 and 3-year-old in Melbourne, and I regularly minded my brother’s kids, who I’ve looked after since birth. I have a valid Working With Children Check and police check. I'm creative, fun, and love engaging kids in imaginative play. I am always keen to be outdoors or chilling at home with games or crafts. My empathetic and caring nature helps children feel safe, understood, and supported. I’d love to be a trusted helper for your family! I am 28y/o and work full-time for a homelessness organisation and am training to become a certified yoga instructor. I am only available on evenings and my rate is negotiable. Look forward to speaking to you! ✨

Hello! I have always been drawn to the joy and energy that is found in working with children. I have 8+ years of experience babysitting and nannying for children of all ages and feel very confident in my abilities. Following the successful completion of my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, I accepted a job in a childcare centre. During the past three years, I have had the privilege of gaining invaluable hands-on experience in the field of childcare. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of child development but has also honed my ability to create an enriching and nurturing environment for children. I am committed to empowering children and creating a safe and engaging space for them to explore, learn and grow. I also have found that my background in professional dance has allowed me to connect with children on a unique level through creativity and movement. Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Hi there! I am currently 23 years old, living independently in Thornbury and have graduated from RMIT (2023) studying a Bachelor of Criminology and Psychology. I am currently looking for casual babysitting opportunities before I start looking for roles in my career (in 2025/2026). I have previously looked after a family with 3 children (aged 8-13, from Feb-Dec 2022), and I am currently nannying for a family with 2 kids aged 10 & 12 (January 2024-current). I have also had many casual babysitting opportunities looking after toddlers and tweens (Dec 2021-current). 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 supporting. My aspiration is to work in a counselling or case management setting that works with vulnerable families and youth/children. 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! In addition to my part time work as a nanny, I am currently a Peer Mentor volunteer at Kids First, and a Crisis Supporter Volunteer at Lifeline. 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 September of 2024, with a full and current driver’s license.

Hi Everyone! I'm an experienced childcare worker who loves children. I’m currently seeking part time daytime work with newborns - toddlers as this is my specialty. I've had experience with private nannying/babysitting, daycare centres and teaching overseas at ESL schools. I’m comfortable with a number of kids at once if you have older school aged kids which also need care. I feel privileged to work with beautiful little children and I take my work seriously. Looking forward to meeting you!

Hello, I am an experienced mother's helper with availability. I have completed a post graduate degree in counselling and am furthering my studies. I have a mindfulness background and value creating an easeful environment.

My name is Vivien, I am a first year uni student at RMIT. I have been babysitting around my neighbourhood for 3 years and really enjoy hanging out with the kids! I am able to look after multiple children, keeping them safe, entertained and happy! I frequently look after 3 siblings aged 1-6 so I am confident and able to look after any age!

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.

Hi my name is Millie! I have a bubbly, enthusiastic and playful personality. I have previous babysitting experience through my neighbours, family and members on this app and get great feedback from parents. I thoroughly enjoy the company of little ones and have always connected well with them. I love playing with kids, making silly stories with toys and going for outside adventures! From being involved with kids as well as work experience at a kindergarten, I’ve decided I want to study Paediatric Occupational Therapy in uni. I enjoy playing the drums, being in nature, cuddling with animals, doing craft and having quality time with close ones. My availability is flexible as I’m taking a gap year this year, so looking for some casual, part-time, or full-time jobs. I am responsible, confident, caring, talkative, supportive, organised and reliable. I can provide a valid Working With Children’s Check, I am on my P’s and I can supply a car. I hope to meet some lovely families!

Hi parents! I’m Billie, a 24-year-old from Melbourne. I grew up in Kew/Hawthorn area and now live in Fitzroy North/Northcote. I have years of nannying experience, including caring for one family long-term, where I became an integral part of their routine and truly enjoyed building strong connections with the kids.

I maintain strong relationships with all of my previous employers, who can provide glowing references. I value the importance of my experience and skills, which is reflected in my pay rate. I am happy to assist with cleaning, laundry, and cooking. As a vegetarian, I specialise in plant-based cooking, and my experience with preparing meat-based dishes is limited.

Hi, I’m Kris, 33 years old, a Brazilian medical doctor living in Melbourne for the last 2 years with my husband. Since then, I’ve taken care of 3 beautiful little ones on a daily basis, and I’ve also been doing some casual babysitting. It’s been such a great experience helping them thrive and watching them grow! As I’m currently studying for the AMC exams, I am available 1-2 days a week on a daily basis, including evenings. Otherwise, I’m flexible for casual or evening sessions as needed. I am passionate about children. I have a 12-year-old nephew who has taught me how wonderful it is to participate in their development. Since he was born, I have helped my sister-in-law care for him. I enjoy playing, cooking, and baking healthy, real, and nutritious meals, as well as helping little ones discover and enjoy life. Additionally, I can teach a bit of Portuguese, if desired. Principles such as responsibility and respect are core to my work ethic and personal values. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to chat!

Hello, I'm Grace. I'm from Melbourne and currently studying Psychology. I have over 7 years of nanny experience from newborn to teenagers. I enjoy working with kids of all ages in a fun and creative way. I enjoy cooking for families and am happy to do cleaning and help with chores around the house. At the moment I am available for casual weekday evenings after 5pm or anytime on weekends. Unfortunately I am not available before 5pm on weekdays. A bit about me, I enjoy cooking, making new recipes, hiking, bike riding, playing guitar, piano, looking after plants, camping and travelling with my partner.

I am 27 years old, and I come from Italy. I am a PhD student currently living in Preston. I have several babysitting experiences that I have collected in the course of 7 years. I have taken care of children aged 20 months to 10 years old. The most significant experience was taking care of a girl for 2 years, at times also overnight, and for consecutive days when her single parent had to travel for work; this also entailed taking care of the whole household. I am very playful and enjoy thinking of creative games for the children. I am also available for teaching Italian and/ or Spanish to the little ones.
