Babysitters in Thornbury, VIC

Hi there, My name is Cassia, I’m a kind and creative carer who has worked with children of all ages, from 6-month-old babies through to young teenagers. I moved back to Melbourne in August, having spent the last 1.5 years working full time as a nanny in Berlin, running a private nannying service with multiple families and casually at a kindergarten as well. I have excellent references from my time there, as well as from local families here in Melbourne too! I studied as an actor but have also worked as a youth ambassador for REACH organization and been involved in many community and art projects. I am always happy to help with everything that comes with having small kids, housework, cleaning cooking and activities. I love to cook, to sing and play music and come up with creative and fun games. Ideally I’d be looking for evening work, and full days/longer hours if possible. I have a first aid certificate, as well as police checks, WWCC – references are of course available upon request. Rates negotiable.

I am a caring, reliable and enthusiastic childcare professional with a strong passion for supporting children’s growth and wellbeing. I have a Diploma in Health and Social Care, where I studied modules in Childhood Studies, Child Psychology, and Working with Children and Young People. I am also currently furthering my education in Early Childhood Education and Care. I have hands-on experience working with children of different ages and needs, including supporting children with autism, ADHD and other additional needs. I focus on creating a safe, fun and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, valued and encouraged to explore and learn. Whether it’s helping with homework, engaging in creative play, preparing meals, or supporting routines, I approach each day with patience, positivity and a child-centred outlook. Outside of childcare, I enjoy yoga, cooking, baking, reading, candle making and spending time in nature. I bring creativity, warmth and reliability to every role, and I love building trusting relationships with both children and families.

Hi ! I’m Tabitha and I’m the eldest daughter in my family and I’m currently studying design/arts in university. I’ve been babysitting since I was 16 for my younger cousins as well as families with younger children as young as 3 months. I am a responsible, warm hearted, caring and kind person. My passions include arts, reading and cooking ! I can help around the house keeping it clean and tidy and I’m more than happy to cook. On the weekends I am available anytime and during the week I am available some days. Please feel free to message me for further information :)

Hi, I’m Amber! I recently left full-time work in health and international development to focus on my passion for creative writing and young adult literature, which I’m now studying full-time. Babysitting is a natural fit alongside my studies—I love spending time with kids and creating a calm, fun space where they feel comfortable and happy. I currently babysit a 4yo two days a week, and growing up in Perth I often babysat for extended family and worked in a daycare during my teens. I have a current Working With Children Check (complete with Police Check) and completed First Aid training in 2021—I'm happy to renew it if required. I'm warm, dependable, and playful—I love reading stories and getting creative with games. I'm equally happy to just be around before/after school to make sure everything runs smoothly. At the moment, I’m looking for casual work during my uni holidays (mid-October through to mid-February 2026), as I already have a family I help with part-time during the school term. I’m happy to help with light tidying up and cleaning—like putting away toys, washing dishes, or wiping surfaces—but I don’t do extensive house cleaning.

Aside from being a housewife and parent to my two boys (aged 10 and 13), I do a lot of volunteer work at their school. I　finished Certificate IV in School Based Education Support. However, I do still have some spare time while my kids are at school, and I would love to spend it helping other mums who are having a hard time. I am very caring, patient, friendly and energetic. I don't like the idea of kids using screens, especially when they are at a young age, and so I've learned to be very creative and flexible when playing with kids. I also love cooking and housework and I am very good at them!

I’m a 22 year old university student who has just moved to Melbourne! I have many years of experience babysitting family members, neighbours and children in my local community.
