Babysitters in VIC, melbourne

Asha ~ Melbourne

I am a young adult looking for baby sitting work in Melbourne's inner suburbs. I am interested in overseas nannying in the future and am beginning a Certificate in Early Childhood Education this year.

I am the eldest of 5 children, being the only girl with 4 chaotic little brothers all aged between 12 and 2 so I am very used to playing the role of mother, as I have cared for my siblings from ages newborn up.
I also understand the stress of running a household and am willing to help out with housework also.

I am a fun, gentle and caring with a love for learning and playing!
I am always alert and careful and I love being around children.
Having moved away from my family to live in the city I am really missing the presence of children in my life after so many years raising my brothers and would love to meet a family I could connect with and make some new little friends!

chantal ~ Melbourne

Hello,

I'm actually Canadian and going to Australia for a few months to a few years if i get lucky with a working visa. I'm a 34 year old woman but really, i'm quite young spirited (with however the maturity of my age. no worries ;-) ).

I love a good laugh. People say i am positive and dynamic. I love children and adolescents as well as adults. I'm a career counsellor so i think it's safe to say i love contact with people. :-) While i was living 5 years in Switzerland within distant family (being overseas, i didn't know them really), even the best friends of my youngest cousins and themselves (one was 11 and the other 12 at the time) used to love spending time with me- and likewise. :-) So i could say i've created "brother" and "sister" of heart relationships.
I know how to be firm if needed and when to have pleasure. I am responsible and reliable.

I adapt very quickly to new environments and situations/people.

I'll be more than happy to help you out with your children. I'll be available at the start of march. I'm open to sending a picture of myself and reference of that family i stayed in, if needed (even if they weren't children but more "teenagers").

Take care,

Hope to hear from you soon :-)

Jade ~ Melbourne

Hello,

I am a French Canadian, which means that my first language is French. However, I am perfectly bilingual in both english and french!

I left Montreal to pursue a better life in a much warmer country than mine :). In reality, I've been traveling with my fiancée for the last 4 months and we both decided to settle down in Melbourne after having heard such great things about the city.

Another reality of mine is that my biological clock started ticking at a young age, but I think of myself as a very responsible and reasonable person which is why I'm going to wait a few years. In the mean time, nothing would make me happier than to nurture children with the love and care I have to offer :)

I've taken care of a lot of children in the past, which I'm sure we'll have the opportunity to chat about in the future. In most cases I had evening and after school contracts; getting them at school, making dinner, homework, and bedtime routines. As well, I took care of 3 kids from a family which the parents went away on Holiday often. This meant I stayed at the house with the kids for many days and it included housekeeping work.

Other Skills: I attended an elementary and secondary school called F.A.C.E (Fina Arts Core Education) in Montreal which had a strong emphasis on the arts; Theatre, Music (French Horn in my case), Choir, Dance, and Yoga (my passion). Since I left home many years ago, I've taken up cooking as a hobby/passion of mine. I like to think of myself as a health conscious "chef", however my intentions of eating salad meals and green juices are often turned into italian night filled with parmigiano and pancetta!

Nurul Fazilah ~ Melbourne

Hi, I'm a 30 year old girl from Malaysia but born in United States and studying Master in Computer Science and Software Engineering at University of Melbourne. My contact number is 04-52627071. I am very good in taking care of children since I'm the eldest in ten siblings who are being raised by a single dad. I used to tutor my sibling’s homework from Math, Science and English. Primarily I have experiences in raising kids from newborns to primary school kids. My biggest strength is I love to get to know the kids especially if they have trouble to fit in with someone new in their life. Furthermore I am very friendly, caring, and active with bright and bubbly personality, love kids and most importantly patience. For me, being closer to kids really thought me about challenges since that each kid have their own personality thus thought me a lot of lessons in my life to be a greater person. As for my previous experiences, I used to work part time in nursery back in my country from morning till evening. I met a lot of wonderful kids while I worked there. Its not only them who learn about new stuffs but I learn myself as well too. The key is when teaching children it is not just about them, you will also learning as well and it creates beautiful moments that we share together and that is what my late mother thought me. Before I went to undergrad school, I also worked as a volunteer kindergarten teacher teaching the kids how to learn English language and Math. Even though my studies are engineering, but my passion is taking care and teaching kids. Last but not least, as for my availability time I am free anytime on weekdays and also weekends.

Sofia ~ Melbourne

Hi!
Travelling to Australia has always been one of my dreams and is my long term ambition. I am passionate about travelling and improving my English language skills so finding suitable employment in Australia is the ideal situation for me.

I offer you a hard working and dedicated employee who is eager to learn and further develop my knowledge and experience in child care, nursing and child development. My desired role is a babysitter or nanny, due to my love of caring for children. The skills and knowledge I have gained from my past work experience will ensure I am successful in this role.

I know how to remain calm in stressful situations and I see myself as a good adult role model with a child at heart.

I worked as a supply teacher for approximately one year where I learned many skills and gained a broad knowledge in this field. In this role it was common for me to work with little notice so I learned to be flexible and adaptable. My experience has taught me the importance of ensuring effective communication is maintained between staff, children and parents. As a Supply Teacher, I have often been praised for being easy going, calm and loyal.I have also worked with the elderly at a nursing home for two years and have developed considerable skills and knowledge about human care in general. I have learned methods for taking care of a people by being entertaining, positive and enthusiastic. I allow people to be independent and develop in their own way, taking their personal situation into account and trying to have as much fun as possible.

Rebecca ~ Melbourne

Hello Parents!
I'm Beck and am currently taking some time off to concentrate on my online studies.
Love children, always have. We seem to have a great natural connection, my mum believes its because im still a kid trapped in an adults body!!
But rest assured I am very responsible when it comes to my babysitting and housekeeping jobs.
I started babysitting when I was 11 years old and have adapted alot of skills and knowledge over the past 13 years with childcare and running households.
I have cared for: newborns, toddlers, primary-school age,high-school age, special needs and the most difficult of all- my sister who is 3 years my junior!.

Most recently I worked as a fulltime Nanny/ Housekeeper for a wonderful family who sadly, recently decided they needed a more permanent arrangement with a live-in Nanny.

Currently Im situated in the city with my awsome dad, who I cook, clean, laundry, supermarket shop for and everything else!

As you may be able to see I do have a bubbly personality and cheeky sense of humor.
I love to make the people around me laugh and teach skills that I have learnt myself.
Education is important. On top of studying online, im also big on the documentary channels.
Exercise is a daily part of life at my gym in my building, so keeping up with the kids and staying active will be no problem!
I'm also a Vegetarian. So im big on my vegetables and fresh fruits and cooking healthy meals on a daily basis. I love my organic foods and rarely touch the processed foods anymore.
I grewup eating meat though, so I was taught from a young age by my amazing mother how to cook her recipes and all the traditional meals- with and without meat!
Coming from a European background, my family is full of Chef's and incorporating family with the daily cooking was one of the essential ingredients in teaching us how to cook healthy fun loving meals and I hope to share this with you and your family :)

There is always more to learn in this occupation and I am open to everything your family has to offer.
