Hi, I’m Amber! Originally from Cornwall, UK, I’ve been living in Melbourne since 2022 with my partner. I am looking for casual babysitting or regular Friday nannying, as I miss the creativity and fun that comes from spending time with little ones. I started babysitting at 14 (for neighbours, family friends, my parent's colleagues) - probably a bit young in retrospect, but 'twas the done thing of the 2010's! - and have cared for children of all ages since. Many moons ago, when I was 19, I worked full time as a live-in Au Pair for an 18 month and 3-year-old in Albert Park, Melbourne, and was a babysitter for a lot of other parents in the area. During this time: 🌻I was responsible for taking the kids to kinder, day care, and playgroups 🌻Constantly on the lookout for fun, educational and exciting activities in Albert Park and beyond! 🌻Kept the house clean and tidy 🌻Made dinners for the whole family, breakfast and lunches for the kids 🌻Managed the washing machine and ironing board 🌻Helped the parents with other ad-hoc duties I also regularly minded my brother’s kids from birth (until I moved to Aus). 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, baking, 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 30, work part-time for an ACCO, and am training to become a certified yoga instructor. I am available on evenings, all day Fridays, and am open to weekend work. My rate is negotiable for longer hours. Please feel free to message me, I'm very responsive. Look forward to speaking to you! ✨ Please note Sept 26: Most of my paid babysitting was over 10 years ago, so referrals may be tricky to obtain. I am more than happy to come and meet you free of charge!

Hi, I’m Jemma, a 20-year-old with a passion for working with children! I graduated from high school in 2023 and spent my gap year gaining valuable experience. For the past three years, I’ve worked at a gymnastics studio, teaching kids of all ages and running fun holiday programs. I’m creative, responsible, and love keeping kids engaged with activities they’ll enjoy. This year, I’m studying fashion design at RMIT, which fuels my creativity even more. I bring energy, patience, and a warm, caring attitude to every babysitting role, ensuring your little ones are safe, happy, and entertained. I’d love to help!

Hi my name is Matilda, I value time outdoors in nature, making/viewing art, reading, sewing, photography and time spent with friends and family. I have a strong work ethic and am committed to providing the best quality care. I am a trustworthy, dependable, consistent, flexible and empathetic individual, who has good communication and interpersonal skills. I value my experiences babysitting and have always done my best to cater to each childs needs and support their development. In my experiences I worked alongside their parents to ensure I understood their routines and provided a supportive and stable environment. I have also been doing work as an NDIS disability support worker, helping my client to reach their goals and supporting them as they do so, this position requires patience, empathy and the ability to adapt. Also during my experiences in customer service I have enjoyed meeting new people from all walks of life. Working in and studying Conservation and Land Management is also a passion of mine, during which I have learnt important skills such as self-management, teamwork, problem-solving and adaptability/ flexibility. While I worked in environmental education and conservation, I was required to display a willingness to work in different environments, remain fit and healthy, keep updated with rules and regulations and work with diverse people. All of which I believe will help me be a great baby sitter.

I've looked after children from the ages from newborn to primary age. I have extensive experience in childcare and I have worked as a private nanny to many beautiful children that I hold very close to my heart I'm extremely cautious when it comes to children's safety. I'm reliable professional and trustworthy. I also have my own nanny insurance.

Hello families! My name is Lucy and I am a 29-year old nanny seeking full-time, part-time or casual employment. I love children of all ages and have been working with them many years. I enjoy their playful presence and find engaging with them a rewarding and delightful experience. I have been babysitting since the age of 16 and did more comprehensive nannying for seven years, only recently taking a break to pursue my full-time career in publishing. While I have been away, I continue to babysit the children in my life, such as my toddler nephew and baby niece. My most recent nannying job was for a family in Brunswick for four years, caring for their daughter from the age of 18 months old. I saw her talk and take her first steps, develop language and social skills, and it was an absolute joy and honour to help raise her. I consider myself quite creative, so I fit easily into children fun and games, especially that of make-believe.
