Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hello Parents! I’m a very experienced nanny with over 10 dedicated years of supporting families raise their children from newborn to early childhood. My approach is a beautiful balance of nurture and education, and I also hold a Level 4 OCN Maternity Practitioner Certificate. I have worked with a diverse range of families, including supporting children with special needs and working alongside specialist professionals to assist in their development, as well as providing parents with guidance surrounding infant sleep, and daily rhythms. I'm well-versed in: - establishing day time routines that encompass milk feeds, food, sleep, and play - supporting baby/toddler development through education based learning, reading, writing, sensory play, song, and discovery. I can offer my personal collection of resources to support this. I offer elevated, Montessori-aligned care that honours each child’s natural rhythm and need for calm, connection, and independence. My approach prioritises health, well-being, outdoor time, and a screen-free environment where babies and toddlers feel safe and respected, whilst building a strong, trusting partnership with parents for an overall harmonious relationship for us all. I have devoted the last 3.5 years to raising my own little one, and am now offering my help to families once again. If this sounds like the kind of support your family is looking for or you’d like to chat about what works best for you please feel welcome to reach out. Warmly, Kleo

Looking for: Full-time,Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi, I'm Sabrina! I'm stocked to introduce myself as a prospective babysitter, and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with your family. With a lifelong passion for working with children, I've been an unofficially babysitter to my baby sister since I was 10 years old and have been the go-to unpaid babysitter for my younger cousins. Additionally, I've worked at a preschool, organized summer camp activities, and worked with children aged 3 to teens. These experiences have not only honed my skills but also deepened my love for creating engaging and nurturing environments for kids. The kids I've worked with would likely describe me as the "coolest and most fun teacher" - an empathic listener, a great storyteller (I'm also the author of two books!), and maybe a bit of a softie when it comes to board games (I like to let them win!). My sister, on the other hand, might offer a more critical perspective, but I'm sure she'd agree that I'm responsible, ensure things don't get out of control, and prioritize her well-being including limiting screen time and making sure she eats and sleeps on time! As a babysitter, I'm committed to creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for your little ones. I'm passionate about getting to know each child as an individual and tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs and interests. I'm enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with your family and would love the chance to discuss how I can contribute to your child's care and development. Thank you for considering my application! Best regards, Sabrina Fernandez

Furthermore, in my home country, I worked as an English teacher, teaching elementary and high school student and as a Spanish tutor as well.

Looking for: Full-time,Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi! My name is Niamh — I’m 25 and originally from Ireland, currently living in Melbourne on a 417 Working Holiday Visa. I am just recently back to Melbourne after completing my 88 Days for my 2nd year visa! As the oldest of three, I’ve always had a natural role caring for children, and over the years I’ve gained extensive experience looking after little ones from newborns up to 15 years old — including twins and larger families of four or five kids. I’m a warm, caring, and active person who loves keeping kids engaged — whether that’s heading out for walks, spending time at the park, or finding fun ways to stay busy at home. I’m also great at maintaining routines, from school drop-offs and pick-ups to meal prep, nap schedules, tummy time, and daily activities. I have previous experience keeping detailed records of feeding times, naps, and medication administration to ensure everything runs smoothly. I hold a valid Working With Children Check and can provide references from families I’ve babysat for. I also have a driver’s licence (though no car at the moment) and am more than happy to help with light housework — and even walk the family dog! I also have no problem getting a police check if needed! Regarding casual babysitting, I am available most evenings and happy to stay overnight with prior notice given, as I do currently have current commitments with other families and other jobs! I am more than happy to have a call, coffee or chat prior to beginning work to make sure you think I am the right fit for your family! Have a lovely day! *rate is $40 as of my experience with kids and rate with previous family - however willing to negotiate with the right family!*

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hii, I’m Sharmaine! I’m turning 21 this June and currently completing my bachelor’s, with plans to continue to a master’s. I was born in Singapore and moved to Hong Kong after preschool, where I grew up until I was 16. Attending English international schools there exposed me to many cultures and helped shape me into an outgoing, friendly person. While I don’t have a WWCC or formal babysitting experience (aside from caring for babies and toddlers at church and for family friends), I’ve always been great with kids and am eager to learn. With my mum working as a flight attendant, I became independent early on, and after moving back to Singapore at 16, I lived alone where I quickly learned to take care of the house and myself.
