I love being silly with children, also spending time doing fun activities such as going to the park, the library, cooking, arts and crafts and playing outside.

Hello families! I am an experienced carer with over 30 years of hands-on childcare experience, supported by a diploma in early childhood education and ongoing professional development training to stay current with best practices. I am passionate about supporting children’s growth and development, with a strong understanding of developmental milestones and individual needs. I am happy to incorporate healthy eating into daily routines, encourage curiosity through nature-based activities, encourage creativity, and outdoor exploration. I am reliable, warm, and patient, I always prioritise creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive. I am happy to assist with light household chores to support busy families and committed to building trusting relationships with both children and parents. I am a parent and understand the importance of care being a fun time for the children but also the need to have your children in the care of a confident and insightful carer. Being trusted with your children's care is a privilege for me that I don't take lightly, I always place safety first. During care I am happy to leave a diary for parents to read and be a part of their child's time in my care. I won't photograph children without parents' permission, and even then, it will only be to share moments whilst you are away, and I avoid spending time on my phone unnecessarily whilst I am present to your family. I genuinely enjoy spending time with little ones and each of my visits will have intentional activity ideas no matter the age of children...and of course plenty of unstructured play! Throughout my career I have worked from centres, private nannying, overseas with 12 preemies in my care and also Family Day Care, and 3 years as a teacher's aide. I am confident to support families with neurodiversity and integrated health. Another passion I hold dear is to support new families with newborn care or sibling support during the first months postpartum. Please be in touch if you feel I may suite your family's needs Xx

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. *I have been first aid trained for nearly 20 years now and will be updating my certificate soon* 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 beautiful people! My name is Abigail ( you can call me Abby).

Hi, I'm Myrto! Caring for children has always been a big passion of mine. Having spent years looking after my younger cousins and neighbours kids, I've mastered the art of lego building, reading the same bedtime story and negotiating with children like a pro. It has always come to me naturally, I love keeping children entertained, with fun activities and outdoor adventures, while also keeping them safe and supported. Parents usually tell me they feel at ease knowing their child is not only looked after but genuinely cared for. I bring patience, reliability and a good sense of humour!

My name is Angela, a retired Registered Nurse/Midwife and a Mum to adult children. I'm available for either part time or casual baby sitting and child care.

Hi! I’m a 19 year old who absolutely loves spending time with children and making sure they feel safe, happy, and supported. I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Biosciences with the dream of becoming a vet — caring for both animals and people has always been such a big part of who I am. I am currently employed for a lovely family, where my responsibilities include school and kindergarten dropoffs and pickups, transporting the children to after school activities, and providing attentive care while their parents are at work. I prioritise creating a safe, supportive, and engaging environment that supports the children’s wellbeing and development. In addition, I provide casual babysitting for a couple of other families on occasional weekend evenings. The children I care for range in age from 2 to 13 years. I have also spent time doing work experience at a childcare centre, where I looked after children of different ages, joined in on games and creative activities, reading to them, outside play, and keeping things tidy and organised. Getting to observe the childcare educators and how they interact with the children taught me valuable skills and insights into supporting kids in a positive and caring way. It really showed me how much I enjoy spending time with children and that this is something I really would love to be doing day to day. I have my P2 driver’s licence and my own car, so school/daycare drop-offs, pick-ups, and outings are no problem. I’m also happy to help around the house with cooking, light cleaning, or anything else that makes life a little easier for your family. My university schedule is quite flexible during the week, and I’m also available on weekends. I’m reliable, caring, and always bring a positive attitude. I am looking for some more part time/casual work and I’d love the chance to get to know your family and be someone you can trust to look after your children!!

Hi lovely families, Welcome to my profile ☺️ 🌸 I'm a young at heart mature woman with a beautiful independent 30 year old son. I have a positive, upbeat & engaging personality. I was a School Captain & have the ability to get along with all types of people. I have done some voluntary work for Single Family camps creating programs for children at these camps & I was responsible for keeping babies, toddlers & even teens occupied while giving Mum or Dad some much needed respite. This was a fantastic experience & I resided at these 5 day camps solely to help out with the other camp leaders in a Voluntary capacity. I have also worked as a Swimming Teacher with the under 5's which I found very rewarding. In my last 14 years working as a Nanny I have cared for twins, multiple children (up to 8 at one time in total) & children with special needs such as autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, asthma, diabetes, eczema & other challenging health conditions. I'm experienced with new born babies up to teens. I am trustworthy & reliable & known for being punctual. I'm a very good communicator. I’m hard-working, diligent, energetic & enthusiastic and a whole lot of fun! I have trained in nursing and paramedic studies. I have had extensive experience with babies and children dating back to the age of 9 when I babysat the neighbours children (including a couple of newborns!).... in total 15! I have always been mature & responsible beyond my years. I have been surrounded by children my whole life including my 4 younger siblings and 30 1st cousins! I was a mother figure to my 4 younger siblings as my mother was working full-time as a Nursing Sister & my father was away from home a lot in his job as an International Airline Captain. I have had a lot of responsibility thrust upon me from a very young age! I am Aunty to 13 nieces & nephews & am very close to them & we catch up on a regular basis. I enjoy the spontaneous and honest interaction that children provide and I find it immensely rewarding knowing that I am able to influence and help a child to learn and grow confidently. I'm fair with a gentle approach & can be firm while teaching boundaries. I believe all children require stability and need to know they are loved and lovable as a basic right. I never cease to be amazed at the lessons that children can teach us adults! I am inspired by the enthusiasm that children have when learning about the world around them. I tend to establish a good rapport with the young ones I care for which I find very rewarding. Children are so precious & truly a blessing to be cherished. Importantly I am pro-active with a 'can do' attitude & I have a keen eye for detail so nothing goes unnoticed! I am very safety-conscious so your childs welfare is of utmost importance to me at all times. I can be flexible with time & I am more than happy to work with you to suit you and your childrens ongoing needs. I also do pet-minding/house sitting (many years now since I was a young girl) & have had a dog walking/dog training business too so I'm comfortable with all types of pets. I love all animals. 🤗 *Important to know...... *I'm up to date (2025) with my Whooping Cough vaccination (pertussis)* I have had my car licence for decades & I'm a very cautious driver with a full licence & faultless record with Zero accidents & no demerits! I look forward to meeting you and your precious children. *My rate is dependent on time of day & number of children needing care. As per industry regulations my rate starts at $35-40 per hour & I prefer to work a minimum of 3 hours. As a tutor helping with homework my rate is the standard rate of $40 helping one student. Thank you. ☺️ *My most recent role involved caring for a newborn baby & his toddler brother which I really loved. Their Mum has written an excellent reference that is available for your perusal.* Thanks so much for reading. Have a lovely day! Sincerely Yours Fionna 🌸
