Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

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. 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 also love working with neurodivergent people and am currently working part time as a disability support worker with my own ABN and insurance. 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 references. 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.

My names Emma. I am 19 years old and currently looking for fun ways to earn money to support myself during my studies. I've always loved children, and I've volunteered to sit for friends and family whenever I can. I mostly have experience with children 8 and upwards, but I also have experience with young family members. DUring high school I was a college leader, which gave me oppurtunities to work with the younger year levels, participate in activities with them and help them with schoolwork. I currently have another job, plus university, but depending on where you live I can do most mornings.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi I'm Elida! I am a 19 year-old university student and I am seeking casual/part time babysitting work whilst I complete my Bachelor in Early Childhood and Primary Education. Looking after children has always been a prominent part of my life as I have been babysitting casually in the last 5 years and have been a Diploma-qualified OSHC educator for over a year now. I have a very interactive, nurturing approach to looking after children. Whether that includes identifying when kids need help learning something new, working through any big emotions or playing games with them - building meaningful relationships with children is very important to me as an educator since I am always willing to put in that extra effort to fully participate in any hobbies or activities they enjoy. I look forward to meeting your family soon! :)

Looking for: Full-time,Part-time

Hi families, I'm Katie, a passionate professional Early Childhood Educator with 10 years experience. I have experience and formal training in holistic pedagogy including Steiner education and nature play based curriculums and am skilled in creating age appropriate creative and play based learning and supporting children to thrive. A little about myself… I've been working with children professionally for the last 10 years, with children aged 12 weeks to 12 years with extensive experience with the 1-5 age range. Currently I’m working with a wonderful family as a sole care nanny which is due to finish up soon and looking for a new wonderful family to support. I’ve held different hats in my career including sole care nanny roles, running a family daycare, working as a OSHC coordinator, in long day care and as a IHC (in home care) educator delivering educational play based learning for families with complex needs. I hold a wealth of experience, including supporting children with neurodiversity, tailoring age appropriate activities, creating sensory play experiences, organising outings and activities, working with children of different ages at the same time, household management support, nutritious cooking and meal prep and building quality relationships. My strengths are my caring, honest and transparent approach to my work and my nanny style is focused on creating stability while being creative, patient, nurturing and kind, while also valuing appropriate boundaries and maintaining a healthy routine to support the children to feel safe and thrive. My hobbies include dance, art, nutrition, cooking, travel and being ecology/nature. I value communication, transparency and mutually respectful relationships. On top of my childcare qualifications I have my full license with clean driving history, current employee WWCC, Childcare first aid, asthma and epi pen training, food handling certification, SIDS training certification, allergy training certificate, and child protection certification. I would love to hear from family looking to employ a full time or perm part time nanny with my skill set. Thanks!

Looking for: Full-time,Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi Families! 🩷 My name is Willow, I’m an 19 year-old nanny based in Belgrave South and I’m currently looking to take on a beautiful new family for either part-time, casual or ongoing care throughout the week 🌸 I’ve been nannying and babysitting for over 2 years now and have experience with children ranging from newborns right through to around 8 years old. Over the past year I’ve been caring for a family with three children aged 4, 5 and 7, and before that I cared for two little boys from the time one was only a newborn 🥹 Being able to grow with families and become someone their children feel safe, excited and comfortable around is honestly the most rewarding thing ever to me. I know I’m young, but I truly think that’s one of the reasons kids connect with me so naturally 🤍 I bring a really fun, energetic and comforting “big sister” kind of presence into a home while still being responsible, calm and nurturing when needed. I love getting involved in all the little things kids enjoy — whether that’s dancing in the kitchen, building cubby houses, playground adventures, baking, crafts, movie nights or just sitting on the floor playing for hours 🫶🏼 I also really understand that children have huge emotions in tiny little bodies. I’ve sat through the toddler meltdowns over the wrong coloured cup, the overtired tears, the big feelings after school and the moments where they simply just need patience, comfort and someone safe beside them. I never believe in making children feel silly for their emotions and always try to approach situations with calmness, understanding and reassurance 🌿 I’m very confident with all day-to-day routines including school pick-ups/drop-offs, bedtime routines, baths, dinner prep, bottles, nappy changes, homework help and keeping little ones entertained in ways that are fun but still supportive for their development ✨ I’m also very reliable, organised and happy to help wherever I can around the house to make life easier for parents — whether that’s tidying up after the kids, preparing meals, folding washing or helping keep routines running smoothly 🤍 I have my own reliable car (brand new MG SUV), am confident transporting children and am happy to travel for the right family. I can also provide references from previous families upon request 🥰 If I sound like someone who could be a lovely fit for your family I would absolutely love to chat further! Please feel free to send me a message anytime 💌
