Babysitters in Thornbury, VIC

I have worked as a Teaching Assistant and Nanny in Oxford (2018-2020) and enjoy helping kids achieve their best. I value family, friendship and community. The last year I have been working as a Casual Early Learning Assistant in ELC's around Melbourne (2021-2022). I am easy-going, enthusiastic and love to have fun. I can help around the house with various jobs and activities, walking dogs, taking children to/from activities, homework assistance/tutoring but most of all being a positive role model to your children. Please do get in touch if you have any questions. Currently studying Bachelor of Environmental Science/Bachelor of Environment and Society (I have completed my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care).

Hi there! I am currently 22 years old, living independently in thornbury and have just graduated from RMIT (in 2023) studying a bachelor of criminology and psychology. I am currently looking for casual babysitting opportunities before I start looking for roles in my future career (in 2025/2026). I have previously looked after a family with 3 kids (aged 8-13) in 2022, and currently nannying for a family with 2 kids aged 10 & 11. I have also had many casual babysitting opportunities looking after toddlers and tweens. I have limited experience working with children under the age of 1. I can provide references for these experiences :) I am after work that is rewarding, and allows me to form greater connections to those that I am helping. My aspiration is to work in a counselling or case management setting that works with families and youth/children in the system. I have previously worked in a psychologist’s office where I assisted children with additional needs in their activities, and sat into occupational therapy sessions. I hope to bring the things I have learnt in this role with me! I am also an experienced pet sitter and dog walker, so I would be happy to help out with any pets as well. I am fully vaccinated (up to date boosters as well), have a WWCC, a current police check issued in march of 2023, year 3 of green P license.

I am currently working as a Teachers Aide at a primary school in Northcote, i finish at 3.15pm every day.

I worked at an Out of Hours School Care and worked casually in the same school supporting students with additional needs in Brunswick for 5 years. Because of this I completed the Certificate IV in Education support in 2018, with a pathway into the Bachelor of Education at RMIT University.

Whilst studying and working I have nannied many families and both times have only discontinued due to covid lockdowns or moving suburbs, I am looking for something long term and to become part of the family. In the future I would like to complete the the teaching bachelor, but for now i am content. Dont hesistate to contact me if you have any further questions!

Her warm and friendly demeanor immediately put Ripley at ease, and they have developed a wonderful rapport together.

Hi! My names Sadie and work as a childcare educator. I have a lot of experience with children from working in childcare for two years and previous nannying experience. I would love to support and care for your family and children.😊

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.

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've looked after children from the ages from newborn to primary age. I have extensive experience in childcare and I have worked as a private nanny to many beautiful children that I hold very close to my heart I'm extremely cautious when it comes to children's safety. I'm reliable professional and trustworthy. I also have my own nanny insurance.
