Babysitters in Northcote, VIC

Hi i'm Ruby. Im 24 and just returned from travelling overseas. I'm looking to save some money and also give to the community, whilst studying. I am responsible and reliable. I have always loved spending time with kids, and have had previous jobs in babysitting. I'm very active, I love walking, gym, cooking, socialising, outdoor activity, volunteering and oddly enjoy cleaning! in the future I hope to be working in disability support or youth work and continuing to help people.

I am excellent with children and an experienced babysitter. I pride myself on providing non-screen time entertainment for kids. I am very happy to do light housework including some cleaning and cooking. Parent references available on request.

I'm 43 years of age and I love kids! I have always found communicating and relating to all sorts of kids, comes very naturally to me. I am happy to do babysitting and/or nannying jobs. I consider myself to be a well-balanced person, emotionally, mentally and physically, which I believe sets a positive/necessary role model for growing and developing children and encourages a positive and healthy rapour/relationship between the adult and child. I have had 14 years on and off experience caring for children. From late 1994, I began nannying for a 2-year-old girl, Gemma and in 1996 when her baby brother, Jack, was born, I began babysitting them both for the next 8 and a half years. My Duties included: Changing/washing nappies. Bottle preparing and feeding. Supervising and participating in play/learning exercises. Ensuring that children had proper rest/quiet time periods. Cooking, bathing and showering of children. Taking children to and from kindergarten and school. Taking children out on excursions and participating in creative and physical activities. Ensuring completion of assigned homework and assisting with set text reading for school. Making sure child was in bed by curfew set by parents. Ensuring completion and attending to chores/duties set by parents. Cooking & preparing healthy/nutritious meals for children. Basic home duties, eg; washing dishes, sweeping, laundry. Assisting and guidance with Homework. Providing ideas and suggestions to children about activities and exercises to participate in, encouraging their interests and natural strengths. Ensuring each child was in bed by its set curfew. Intervening when conflicts between siblings became verbally or were at risk of becoming physically abusive, implementing conflict resolution skills and applying them to the situation and the siblings involved. I find working with children a really enjoyable experience and being able to help children to explore their interests, develop their talents and independence & build self-esteem, is extremely rewarding. Every job I take on, I take seriously and believe that every child I care for receives 100% dedication,commitment, attention & care. Ideally I am looking for casual evening and some weekend work, as my last semester at school will take up a large chunk of my week.

Hello parents! I'm Kelly (she/her) a 37-year-old with a heart that resonates with both wisdom and childlike wonder, available for casual babysitting. I am a regular babysitter for families across Fitzroy, Thornbury, and Brunswick East, fostering joy-filled moments with kids aged 1 to 9 years old. I am also a regular babysitter for my 3yo niece - I experience so much joy watching her explore and interact with this world. Babysitting is a joy, filled with crafts, playgrounds, Disney movies, baking sessions, bike rides, science experiments, and story time. I find pleasure in cooking and often prepare nourishing meals for the little ones. Although my main focus is on giving the kids my full care and attention, I might have time to whip up a meal for parents as well. As a warm, genuine, and nurturing individual, I foster an environment of creativity and exploration. I'm passionate about infusing every moment with joy and learning. Kids have this amazing way of showing us life's simple pleasures through their innocent and candid perspectives, and it's truly inspiring. While I work full-time from 9 am to 5 pm, I operate from home on Fridays, so offer flexible support on that day, and most evenings and weekends are also open. I am excited about the opportunity to connect with you and your children, creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for their growth and happiness. Looking forward to speaking with you soon! 😊

Dear families, Lorielle, a 34-year-old from Réunion Island, not originally from 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 on Mondays and Tuesdays throughout June. Feel free to reach out – I'd love to connect! Warm regards, Lorielle

I am an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. I have a willingness to take on added responsibilities to ensure parents have peace of mind knowing their children are in great hands. After working with children in a school setting I am now looking for something more personal and look forward to working 1 on 1 with a family.

Hi I’m Claudia! I’m a fun and outgoing 18 year old looking for a part time job in babysitting/nannying. I’ve had about 6 years of experience ranging from casual babysitting to regular weekly sitting during school holidays. I’m reliable and easy going and can’t wait to get to know you!!

I am a very experienced babysitter looking to build relationships with families for casual evening babysitting. As I work full-time as lawyer, I am only available for casual, evening babysitting, after 6pm. I first began babysitting at the age of 14 and have experience babysitting for children of two years of age and older. I have worked with a large number of different families; cared for boys and girls and up to three children at one time. I have cared for children with autism spectrum diagnoses and complex needs. I greatly enjoy working with children, am warm, approachable and gentle. As a babysitter I am very interactive; I enjoy playing games with children, overseeing activities such as craft or art, or taking children for walks or to the park. I am capable in the kitchen and able to prepare meals. I am happy to oversee and assist with homework; I have an excellent academic record across a broad range of topics. In 2017 I spent six months as an au pair for an Italian family with three young boys in Florence, Italy. This was a wonderful experience. My day consisted of collecting the children from school in the early afternoon, taking them to tennis, the pool or the park, or supervising their homework at home. I often prepared dinner and put them to bed too. In 2012 I spent six months volunteering in schools across India. I taught English and Humanities classes and also assisted students with their homework. I also spent a great deal of time with students in a relaxed playground setting; just talking, playing and helping them with their English. I have my own transport. I am punctual and reliable, fast at responding to enquiries and flexible in terms of availability. I would be excited to discuss my suitability to care for your children.

I'm Adeline, a 24-year-old French traveler and French tutor currently residing in Northcote. 🇫🇷 If you want your kids to have a culturally enriching and open-minded experience, filled with stories from around the world, I'm here to help. With over 6 years of experience as a babysitter for children aged 6 and above, and a background as a leisure center facilitator for ages 2 to 15, I am well-equipped to provide quality care and engaging activities for your children. 👶⚽️🎨 If you're looking to blend fun and creativity with language learning for your child, look no further. I'm also proficient in English at an advanced level. If you're in need of a reliable babysitter, I'm available and open to scheduling a pre-meeting introduction.

My name is Mouli, and I am 25 years old, with a recent B.A from NYU. I absolutely adore kids and have worked with them in a variety of settings such as babysitting, tutoring, and translating for ESL students. I have 4 years of child-care experience, across New York, Sydney, and Melbourne. I have looked after kids of all ages from 16 months - 12 years old, and multiple kids at once. My duties in these roles have included pick-up/drop-off to school, meal preparation, homework help, bedtime and bathtime routine, nappy changing, and general playtime supervision. I am a creative person, and love all things arts, crafts, and play. A fun bonus is that I play a number of musical instruments, including the clarinet, piano, ukulele, and a bit of guitar, and have found these to be enormously helpful as a way to bond with kids and teach them new ideas. Lastly, I am fully vaccinated (including boostered) and have all my checks and First Aid Certification. I have a driver's licence and am in the process of buying a car. Looking forward to hearing back from you!

I have extensive hands-on experience as a nanny, specialising predominately in newborns to 24 months. Beyond the basics of feeding and soothing, bathing and nappy changing, I'm aware of necessary activities to foster developmental growth, minimising screen time, and maximising engaging play activities. My experience also extends to aiding in primary school classrooms, where I learned to nurture toddlers' curiosity and independence. While I diverged from formal teaching to pursue other careers, my love for caring and engaging with children remains strong. Now that I have more spare time as I have recently gone back to university, I would love to fill that with helping parents nurture their young ones.

Hey families, My names Caitlin! I’ve been careing and working with children for 10 years. I’ve worked as part time nanny, early educator, after care educator and mothers helper pre birth and after. I’ve looked after children 0-12 from twins to shared nanny. I’m passionate about providing holistic care! I love to create a fun, living, caring environment for children, adjusting and getting to know each child’s individual needs and wants. I believe in a caring, gentle and genuine approach when caring children 😊 I love art, cooking and reading and animals! I’m interested in evening baby sitting.

23 year-old nanny. I am a reliable carer with many years of experience in babysitting children from kinder to late primary (up to 3 at a time). I pride myself on being very organised and always ensure that my time with kids is both fun and safe! Most of my experience so far has been with children aged 2 and up however I am open to all ages and I try to take extra initiative to learn more where I can. For example, I have a mental health first aid certificate in addition to the standard first aid and CPR training. A bit about me personally: I have nursing student background & now am working towards a career in mental health. I am a cat mum & love op shopping, Taylor Swift music & catching up with my friends over brunch! Review from Averil (mother of 2) during the Covid-19 lockdown: Edith is conscientious, caring, organised, and genuinely enjoys spending time with children. Edith helped look after our 3.5 and 6 year olds over a period of 6 weeks, and really helped us out of a bind. In addition to the duties of a nanny, Edith also competently supervised remote learning while finding ways to entertain an energetic toddler. Edith came each day with a bright smile and a positive attitude and always put the well-being of the kids first. Edith was more than happy to help out around the home, from carrying out household duties to making dinner, and generally helping to make our lives easier. She approached the job with an impressive sense of responsibility and care, and our kids really enjoyed her company.

Hi Families, I am a student looking to do some part time nannying/casual baby sitting! Growing up in a large family ignited my love for working with children, and prompted my employment at a Reggia Emilio style childcare facility. I now have extensive experience working with children from ages 6 months - 12 years old as well as a broad knowledge of childcare pedagogies. The specific values of play and creativity in order to explore independence is now instinctive to my care for children. I have worked as a part time nanny for a 1 year old and 3 year old, as well as having extensive experience in general baby sitting within my community. I consider myself a warm, fun, loving and creative carer, who genuinely enjoys being around children. Whilst I love to have fun, I am cautious of the safety expectations when caring for young children and will always make this my priority. I am competent in changing nappies, calming children etc and whilst I don't hold a drivers license I do know how to put on a good monster voice for a bedtime story!

I am a super friendly, fun and energetic person who loves music and being outdoors. I love spending time and playing with children, it's a special experience! I'm looking for some casual/part time babysitting/nannying whilst I study.

I am an energetic babysitter who can quickly create a real bond with children whilst at the same time respecting the family’s privacy. Along with having a warm, caring, and nurturing personality, I also have a strong educational background in the fields of childhood education and development. As a highly loyal individual, I believe in promoting a child's physical, mental, and emotional development. In addition to this, I am CPR certified, First Aid trained, and possess outstanding verifiable references. I am a non-smoker, can clearly communicate in English and am comfortable working in a house with pets. On a personal level, I am reliable, engaging, and have experience with looking after babies, infants, toddlers, and young children. Right now, I am looking for a suitable position with a family that wants to recruit a proven, kind and capable babysitter.

Hello, I am a responsible mature age female who for the past 12yrs has been working as a visual artist within a Reggio-inspired (play-based) educational system both in Australia and overseas. This position allowed me to connect with children from various cultural backgrounds and intellectual capabilities aged from 18mths-12yrs. I am a fun-loving, reliable energetic person who firmly believes that children have a voice and rights. It is this belief and respect that I hold for children that contribute to the relationship I build with them. I currently care for 13yr old twin girls each morning and afternoon and am looking for other casual babysitting opportunities. I am extremely flexible and willing to do extra hours if required. My only request is that it must be a NO cat household. I currently hold and am: * a WWCC *first aid certificate including Anaphylaxis & Asthma * driver’s license * roadworthy vehicle * fully vaccinated * Australian resident I look forward to the opportunity in getting to know your children Trish
