Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi, I am a mature, experienced, active, healthy, happy and passionate carer. I have been looking after children since I was 13. Have two grown up children and 3 grandchildren. Currently working as a Nanny/ PA . I cook, tidy, sort, organize, cater and personally assist with errands for various families already. Now I am ready to fill my available times in my working week.. I have experience with newborns and I can help new mother's also. I can do some casual work in my spare time, or have permanent work, if it fits my weekly workload. I have kept in touch long term with some of the families who I’ve worked for in the past. I have experience from newborn to teenagers. Lately I have been working with babies a lot... I speak, read and write fluent English and Hungarian,( I can understand a very minimal German .)-- also teach and participate in Hungarian folk-dance two evenings a week. Dancing is a big part of my life, it is a great way to keep fit!! Also love gardening, and spending time on the beach...or riding my bike.. I am a MOTIVATED, EXPERIENCED, CARING, RESPONSIBLE, PATIENT, and RELIABLE person with common sense, and good organizing skills. I have worked with a family with multiple children, and have taken sole care of 3 children under 3 years old, including twins and premature newborns. I love children, and they love me too :-) Would prefer daytime work (available from early morning), but I will be happy to do casual hrs as well. You will be surprised what can be achieved in a few hrs in the morning! I can be very flexible for the right family, as all my references will tell you. Family pets are no problem. I have checkable (GREAT) references for you. Looking forward to hearing from you. ****Thank you, and have a great day :). Maria H

Hello, I consider myself to be reliable, responsible, honest with a happy and calm vibe. I am not a disciplinarian, however, I do believe a routine enables the freedom to pack more of the fun stuff in and plan. I am someone who has experienced a bit in life and managed to maintain a youthful heart and outlook, whilst maintaining a healthy attitude towards my fitness. My professional background includes Nursing and qualifications in TAE, some hospitality experience, also occasional caring for babies/children and once upon a time my own. Outdoor activity was a must in my family. I am flexible for the right fit . I enjoy cooking. Love ironing (multi task). Empowering the little ones. Whilst I have lots of experience and raised my own daughter, I am not someone who feels the need to dictate or control what and how another choses to do things. A healthy respect for choices.

Hi I'm Ellie, I am 21 and I live in Elsternwick. I am currently a Nanny for a lovely family with their 2.5 year old on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and am looking for more days to work. I have completed a Certificate in Early childhood education and Care, with 160 hours work experience for the course in a day-care setting, as well as a years work as a swimming instructor for all age groups including babies. I am very enthusiastic, I adore children and most Children warm up to me very quickly too. I prioritise safety, come up with creative activities that teaches them necessary skills based on their development stages. I am very interested in childhood development, fascinated with how much children can actually learn and understand when given patience, time, and the right resources. I love seeing children reach their goals and make progress. I am extremely creative, I love to learn and help others learn too. I come up with lots of activities that children can participate in based on their age group, even the littlest of littles deserve time and patience. I am a big believer of talking to babies, as the more they hear you speak, the more they learn and understand language- even when they are too small to understand what the words mean, they are still learning. Being around young people, I will always make an effort to help them grow 🌸🌸🌸

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

I am originally from the UK, and I have been in Australia for around 6 months. I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to work in such a beautiful country. My background is in early years, and I have been working with children since 2016 in various capacities. I am a bubbly, empathetic, caring individual, and I have a nurturing, enthusiastic approach to working with children. I like to create a positive, and calming environment for children to learn and grow within. I have worked as a teaching assistant with a child with additional needs, this gave me a lot of experience with adaptability and emphasised the need for a flexible approach to learning. I have been an au pair for three different families, working with children aged 6 months, up to 4 years old. I have cared for multiple children at one time, including caring for twins. I believe understanding the child’s routine within the home is a crucial part of helping families with their day to day lives. As I have volunteered for a family based charity, I understand how important it can be to have people to support families, especially in the early years. I have a wide range of skills, and I am eager to put them into practice. I have a strong work ethic, kindness, patience, and a strong passion for working with children. I am currently working as a barista part time, and i am looking to pick up occasional nanny/babysitting work.
