Nannies in Essendon, VIC

I'm a responsible, creative and calm babysitter with 2 years of experience caring for children of all ages, including those with special needs like autism. I'm fluent in English and Spanish, and I have a wide range of skills including drawing, reading, language development, and crafting. I'm comfortable with pets, cooking, chores, and even helping with homework. Although I don't have a car or a driving license, I'm happy to provide care at your home. I'm passionate about working with kids and look forward to the opportunity to care for your family.

I am a friendly, responsible and enthusiastic person currently studying a Bachelor of Education. I work as a teacher’s aide at two primary schools, giving me extensive experience working with children of different ages. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a fun, safe and positive environment for them. I understand the importance of being someone both children and parents can trust. Outside of work and study, I enjoy pilates, walking my dog and spending time with family and friends.

With nearly 15 years of childcare experience, I bring a calm, caring and reliable presence to every home I work in. I absolutely love kids - their curiosity, creativity, and laughter bring me so much joy and remind me daily why I’ve continued doing this for so long. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to teens, twins and multiples, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and feel supported. Whether it’s helping with schoolwork, coming up with fun activities, or keeping daily routines running smoothly, I genuinely enjoy being a part of each child’s growth and happiness. My goal is always to make parents feel confident and at ease, knowing their children are in patient, attentive, and loving hands.

Hi, I'm Sahasra, a 19-year-old second-year Business student at RMIT with a passion for working with children. I've always been drawn to working with kids and find it genuinely rewarding to be part of their lives, even in small ways. I've cared for children of family and friends, and during my final weeks of Year 12, I volunteered with Kinder to Year 1 students at my high school, where I played with them, helped them learn, joined in on activities, and assisted them whenever needed. That experience taught me a lot about understanding each child as an individual and adapting to how they're feeling in different situations. Even at family and friends' gatherings, I'm usually the one keeping an eye on the kids, since it's genuinely what I enjoy. Whether they're calm or full of energy, I'm comfortable managing either. I'd love to help look after your little ones, and I'll always keep you updated and adjust to whatever preferences or routines your family has.

Hi! I'm Zoe, 19, a second-year Chemical Engineering student at RMIT, living in Essendon. While I haven't worked as a babysitter yet, I've spent time tutoring young kids, which has given me a good sense of how to keep them engaged, patient when they're frustrated, and comfortable following a routine (or happily going off-script when needed). I'm reliable, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids — whether that's homework help, creative play, or just being a steady, friendly presence. I'm open to getting First Aid/CPR certified if that's something your family would like, and happy to provide references from tutoring families. I'd love the chance to babysit for your family and am flexible with scheduling around my uni term, and being local to Essendon means I can be flexible with timing too.
