Looking for: Part-time

I have recently moved to Melbourne from a town called Bournemouth in England. I have around 5 years experience in all different types of care! My most recent full time job back home involved working with children in a residential setting - I was there for almost a year and a half before coming to Australia. I also have an undergraduate degree in psychology and a masters in clinical psychology. I am currently nannying for a lovely family on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. This leaves Mondays and Tuesdays free. I ideally wish to keep my weekends free but am happy to help out occasionally if given some notice. I also have a full Victoria drivers license with access to a work car. I would describe myself as a fun, reliable, and hard-working individual. My hobbies include keeping healthy with pilates and the gym, creative activities such as scrapbooking, cooking, and reading. I am open to trying new activities with the children I look after!

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

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

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.

Looking for: Full-time,Part-time

Hi Parents! I’m a 30-year-old professional nanny based in St Kilda, where I share my home with three Australian budgies. Coming from a large family, I’m lucky to have five nieces and two nephews who keep things fun and lively! What started as casual babysitting sparked a deep passion for childhood development and supporting families in creating balanced, efficient households. This passion has led me to a rewarding career as a nanny. With seven years of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with children ranging from 9 months to 16 years old. My first professional role involved working 30 hours a week with two wonderful girls, aged 3 and 6. My responsibilities included all transportation to and from school and after-school activities, assisting with homework, and providing engaging entertainment through arts and crafts, dance classes, and other fun activities. I also prepared dinner (I love to cook!), managed bath and bedtime routines, and handled light household duties like laundry and home organisation. In addition, I helped with errands such as grocery shopping, dry cleaning, post office duties and taking their dog for walks. I’ve had the privilege of working with a variety of families throughout my career. One of my roles involved caring for three older children— a 9-year-old girl, an 11-year-old boy, and a 13-year-old boy. My responsibilities included providing safe transportation to and from after-school activities, assisting with homework, and ensuring they had everything they needed for the next day’s activities. I also prepared lunch boxes, cooked delicious meals and maintained a fun and engaging environment for the kids with baking and various board games. In addition to my nannying experience, I’ve worked as a chaperone for Kidz On Set, ensuring the safety and well-being of children on set and backstage during productions. I was also a dance coach at Haileybury College, teaching students from Prep through to Year 10. I currently hold a valid Working With Children Check, Police Check, full driver’s licence, my own car, and First Aid certification, including CPR. I’m also an animal lover, particularly fond of dogs and cats! Earlier in my career, I spent two years working with two ambitious boys, aged 9 months and 3 years. This experience helped me develop my skills in infant care, ensuring their happiness and health while providing a nurturing and structured environment. My duties included managing household cleanliness, laundry, cooking balanced meals, maintaining nap and bedtime routines, and organising outings to libraries and parks. I also created sensory and developmental activities to promote their emotional and cognitive development. Currently, I’m working with three school-aged children. Ideally, I’d love to find a role of around 30+ hours, with a long-term commitment. I believe it’s important for children to have a reliable, committed nanny who can adapt to the family’s needs and I’m excited for the opportunity to bring my skills and experience to a new family. Thank you! Paris
