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. I have my own ABN and insurance that covers all aspects of my work in both the disability support work and nannying/babysitting sectors. I generally invoice through my business but I'm happy to discuss employment terms for more long-term roles as well. 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 for over 10 years. I have a reliable car with lots of room for kids seats, I'm willing to travel and I can provide solid references. I've also had a lot of last minute bookings so I'm very comfortable just jumping in with families I'm meeting for the first time! 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.

Looking for: Part-time

My name is Donna Finegan, and I am currently employed as an Administration Officer at Healesville Sanctuary. Due to organisational restructuring, my position will conclude on 16 October 2026, and I will be available to commence work from late October 2026. I am seeking a career change into nannying and childcare, a field that I am genuinely passionate about. For the past two years, I have been a respite foster carer for a wonderful seven-year-old boy through the Victorian Aboriginal Child and Community Agency (VACCA). This role has provided me with valuable experience supporting a child's wellbeing, development, and daily routines while also helping full-time foster carers maintain their important caregiving responsibilities. Through VACCA, I have completed extensive carer training and continue to participate in ongoing education and support programs. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of child development, trauma-informed care, cultural awareness, and the importance of providing children with a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. As a mother of two children, now aged 33 and 38, I have many years of practical parenting experience. Raising my children has given me a strong understanding of the patience, consistency, and encouragement children need to thrive and become confident, capable adults. I enjoy engaging children in meaningful activities such as: • Reading stories • Arts and crafts, drawing, painting, and colouring • Playing games • Outdoor adventures and nature-based activities • Walks and visits to parks I strongly believe that spending time in nature is essential for children's physical, emotional, and social development, particularly in today's increasingly screen-focused world. I hold a current: • Working with Children Check • National Police Check • First Aid Certificate While my professional childcare experience has primarily been through respite foster care, I would be pleased to provide references from VACCA and personal referees upon request. I can also provide details of the training courses I have completed through VACCA. I am committed to continuing my professional development and am interested in undertaking a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care in the near future. At 64 years of age, I am active, energetic, reliable, and enthusiastic about supporting children and families. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my life experience, compassion, and strong work ethic to a nanny or childcare role. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your family and childcare needs.
