Babysitters in Preston, VIC

Hi lovely families, I’m a local babysitter / nanny looking for work. I’m 27 with a car, a full licence, wwcc, first aid cert and years of experience. Most of my experience is caring for babies and toddlers- the babes I have looked after range from 3 months up to 7 years. I am a warm, caring and creative individual who absolutely adores working with children, which I believe is reflected in the love and attention I put into my work. I consistently employ a gentle and calm approach in my communication and interactions with little ones, fostering exploration through creative play and nature-based exploring. I have experience working as a youth worker, working after school care and have nannied in various roles for over 8 years. In my most recent role I spent a year with a gorgeous family on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. Ray and I spent our days going for bush walks, baking cakes or cooking up some play dough, playing in the river, park, backyard, or really playing with whatever had her attention. I am very child led in the way I work, as a happy bubba is in the best interest of everyone! I aim to help provide parents with respite and relief. Whichever ways I can help make your days a little easier I will try my very best to do so. I can do light housework, laundry and cook dinner for the family if there is time in the day. Please contact for any further info and/or references. Warmest, Nix

Hi, I'm Lisa. I have years of experience looking after children of all ages, and studied behavioural psychology at University. I love kids, and understand them. I am very caring. I have a 5 star profile on the Juggle Street childcare app, through which I have been working for 2 yrs. Other experience includes at a childcare centre.

Hello parents, I am a creative, warm , fun, gentle and patient individual. My nature is friendly an easy going. I believe building collaborative relationships and active communication with families are fundamental to achieving positive outcomes for children. Respecting children as individuals and providing stimulating age appropriate activities and environments, that nurture their interests and natural strengths enhances their growth and development. Promoting children's sense of security and belonging gives them the confidence to engage in activities which strengthen their learning and development. Through my experience of working in long day care (children's centre) l am familiar with activities and opportunities which assist children in all areas of their growth, physical, emotional, social, cognitive and spiritual. My years of employment have given me the opportunity to nurture and care for children of all age groups, from babies,toddlers to pre school. I am confident in providing and maintaining a safe and secure environment where children can thrive with my ongoing supervision. I am observant to their cues which gives me insight to individual needs. My enthusiasm for working with children first ignited while volunteering at my own children's primary school, who are now both adults. On a regular basis l assisted in the classroom with reading and writing journals and was fortunate to attend the occasional excursion. One of my tasks at my children's centre was to undertake safety checks in centre rooms, indoor and outdoor play spaces reporting hazards. I understand the importance of safety to the health and well-being of children. Prevention is an excellent practice for maintaining safe and engaging environments. Children also learn from their role models and am motivated in creating and building respectful and positive relationships with parents and children. Working with children is a rewarding experience as is strengthening their self esteem and contributing to the development of their talents, independence, resilience and autonomy for their future. Every second year of my employment (5 years), l completed an in house first aid, asthma,anaphylaxis and annual cpr refresher training. Although l do not hold a current certificate l have knowledge of first aid procedures. It was also required to complete a food handling certificate. I practise procedures learnt everyday in my home food preparations, (which l found much of to be common sense eg.using different cutting boards for meat). My employer from long day care has supplied me with a much valued written reference, alongside heartfelt cards from parents. I look forward for the opportunity of connecting with you and your family and contributing to your children's development and well-being with enthusiasm and joy. Regards Dimitra.

Hi! My name is Noora :) I finished my Bachelors degree in Psychology at unimelb and I am currently doing Early Childhood Education at Swinburne Uni. Besides, I am currently working in two childcare centres. It's been an awesome journey so far, getting to blend what I know about the mind with how children learn and play. I'm a big fan of letting children learn through play—it's amazing what they pick up when they're just having fun! My approach is all about creating a warm, creative space where kids can be themselves, explore, and grow. Most importantly, I want to make sure they feel heard, safe, comfortable and valued. Whether it's building forts, storytime, or outdoor adventures, I'm all in. Can't wait to meet every one and bring some extra joy and curiosity into their days!
