Hi, I’m Jemma, a 19-year-old with a passion for working with children! I graduated 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!

Aside from being a housewife and parent to my two boys (aged 9 and 11), I do a lot of volunteer work at their school. I　finished Certificate IV in School Based Education Support. However, I do still have some spare time while my kids are at school, and I would love to spend it helping other mums who are having a hard time. I am very caring, patient, friendly and energetic. I don't like the idea of kids using screens, especially when they are at a young age, and so I've learned to be very creative and flexible when playing with kids.

Hi Everyone! I'm an experienced childcare worker who loves children. I’m currently seeking part time daytime work with newborns - toddlers as this is my specialty. I've had experience with private nannying/babysitting, daycare centres and teaching overseas at ESL schools. I’m comfortable with a number of kids at once if you have older school aged kids which also need care. I feel privileged to work with beautiful little children and I take my work seriously. Looking forward to meeting you!

Dear families, Lorielle, a 35-year-old from Réunion Island, France. Raised with my parents and two older brothers, I've been enjoying life's simple pleasures. I'm a dynamic, easygoing person who loves being around positive individuals and learning from them. Creativity is my forte – I enjoy drawing, painting, and working with clay. A skilled cook, I love experimenting with recipes from around the world. Music, dance, and singing are essential parts of my daily routine. Fluent in French, Creole, and English, with a dash of Spanish, I've been in Melbourne since November 2016. My experience includes being an au pair for a 1-year-old girl and a 9-year-old boy, as well as a part-time nanny for a 17-month-old and a 5-year-old. I've also worked as a casual nanny for various families, and references are available. Children seem drawn to me wherever I go, and I cherish the opportunity to help them grow and befriend them. Currently available. Feel free to reach out – I'd love to connect! Warm regards, Lorielle
