Babysitters in Balaclava, VIC

Hi, I am a mature, experienced, active, healthy, happy and passionate carer. I have been looking after children since I was 13. I have two grown up children and 3 grandchildren. Currently working as a Nanny. 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, 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

Hi! I’m Alchemy — I’m 31, creative, reliable, and have been babysitting on and off for the past 8 years. Most of my experience has been with children aged 7 and up, often in busy households with multiple kids. I’m confident with school drop-offs, morning routines, after-school care, and helping out wherever needed throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating a calm, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and feel safe in. While I’ve mostly worked with older children, I’m eager to build more experience with younger age groups and always open to learning and adapting to suit each family’s needs. When I’m not babysitting, I work as a freelance artist and designer — creativity is a big part of my world, and I love bringing that into how I spend time with kids, whether it’s drawing, crafting, or encouraging their imaginations to run wild. I'm available for full days and happy to support your family in whatever way works best — whether that’s keeping things running smoothly at home, helping with meals and tidying, or being a consistent and caring presence during the day. Every family is different, and I love getting to know each child’s unique personality, needs, and rhythm. I value open communication, warmth, and flexibility — and always aim to build genuine connections with both kids and parents. Feel free to get in touch — I’d love to hear more about your family and how I might be able to support you.
