Babysitters in Fitzroy, QLD

I'm an outgoing, fun individual with an array of babysitting experience. In 2018, I worked at a primary school in England as a teachers assistant, and in 2022 I nannied for a family in Albert Park where my roles involved collecting the 2 boys from school, dropping at various sports, feeding them dinner and packing their lunches for school the next day. On top of this I have done a lot of casual babysitting for families, looking after babies, toddlers and kids. I have recently returned to university to study nursing with the hope of becoming a paediatric nurse!

Hi! I’m Alanna, a 23 year old Master’s student from South Africa. I love working with children, and have babysat/au paired for the last 5 years in both South Africa and the USA. I’m an outgoing, hard-working, patient, and reliable person, who enjoys the outdoors, running, music, painting, and baking in my spare time. I’ve looked after all genders from ages 1 to 15, and I engage myself in all the activities from homework, nap time, playtime, meals, doctor’s appointments - you name it! I strive to create a supportive, fun, and safe environment for the kids, and enjoy learning from them as much as they learn from me. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your little ones :)

Hi! I’m Meg, I am 26 years old and I am from Bermagui NSW. In my freetime I enjoy surfing, reading, playing cards games/sudoku & seeing live music. I moved to Melbourne in 2024, after living abroad in Rome as a live in nanny for three children aged 3, 5 and 7. I also worked in a playgroup with children under 5 years old. I am currently working part-time as a teachers aide for children with additional needs, whilst also casually babysit. I see childcare as a lifelong profession, and am currently studying a Diploma of Teacher Education

I have degrees in psychology and early childhood education, and several years' of experience working with children aged 0-5 in kindergarten and long daycare settings. I have also worked with primary school-aged children as a nanny/babysitter, and I have an 11-year-old. I am patient, kind, and joyful, and I love working with children. Some of my favourite activities to do with children are reading books, playing games, making art, exploring the outdoors, and going on outings to places like the museum. I am happy to follow the interests of each child, whether it be reading the same book 20 times or getting on my hands and knees to play with them. My own interests include swimming, yoga, meditation, art, travel, and playing guitar. I speak Spanish as a second language and am more than happy to teach your child some Spanish. I choose not to work with children when they or I have illnesses such as Covid or influenza. I hope to find families who are on the same page about that. I did my first aid, asthma and anaphylaxis 2 years ago, so they are all current except for CPR. I'm happy to redo the CPR or the full course if you desire, just let me know. I also have a current WWCC. I also love dogs and am happy to work with families with dogs, including taking them for walks.

If you think your kids would benefit from having an older maternal figure in their life look no further. I am 55 and an empty nester that loves children and supporting families. I have experience as a disability support worker and am a professional stage manager and event manager. I recently graduated as a psychotherapist and focused on neurodivergence in children. I am gentle, kind, fun and reliable. My current employees have children that range in age from newborn to nine and they are happy to provide references.

I am a positive, active and confident person with a primary teacher degree. I have a strong passion towards working with children and creating a fun and loving environment.

Hi, I’m Alice 👋 I’m a responsible, calm, and caring childcare provider with extensive experience working with children of all ages in both home and structured settings. I’m a University of Edinburgh graduate and have spent several summers working as a camp leader and tennis coach at international youth camps, where I supported children’s wellbeing, routines, and confidence in high-energy, multicultural environments. I’m naturally patient, attentive, and grounded, and I place a strong emphasis on creating a safe, relaxed space where children feel comfortable and supported. Alongside play and activities, I’m very reliable with routines such as meals, homework, bath time, and bedtime. I take safeguarding seriously and always aim to communicate clearly and thoughtfully with parents. My background in sports coaching, hospitality, and pastoral care has helped me develop a calm, adaptable approach — whether caring for younger children or engaging older ones with activities and structure. I’m active, outdoorsy, and creative, but equally value quiet time like reading, drawing, or winding down at the end of the day. Parents often describe me as trustworthy, present, and easy to feel at ease with — and I genuinely enjoy building positive, respectful relationships with both children and families.

Hi I’m Hannah from Glasgow, Scotland. I am living in Melbourne on a WHV and plan to stay here for the foreseeable. I really miss my family so I thought I would give nannying a go as I love looking after little ones and brightening their day ! I have many young ones in my extended family and at family gatherings always find myself playing games or having fun dancing with them.

Hi, I’m a nanny and babysitter in North Fitzroy with over twenty years experience in all aspects of childcare for every age, including live-in sole care. I've looked after three children, five fur-babies and one bird all at once and another time four brothers after-school. Imaginative and role play are some of my favourite activities as well as any opportunity to draw, craft learn and read stories. Trips to the library, museum and discovering new parks is always on the agenda. Some afternoons I’m watching kids swim and play basketball or just catching up quickly before they head to bed. I’m more than happy to clean, cook and fold washing - whatever needs doing. With some room in my timetable it would be lovely to meet and assist another family!

Hi families! My name is Jaimie. I’m an experienced babysitter (5+ years babysitting for so many lovely families).

Hello parents! I'm Kelly. I am a regular ad hoc babysitter for multiple families across Fitzroy, Thornbury, Preston, and Brunswick East, Kew, with kids aged 1 to 11 years old. I am also a regular babysitter for my 4yo niece, who never fails to fill my heart with happiness as she explores the world. Babysitting is a joy, filled with crafts, playgrounds, Disney movies, baking sessions, bike rides, science experiments, and story time. I enjoy cooking and often prepare nourishing meals for the kids. Although my main focus is on giving the kids my full care and attention, I might have time to whip up a meal for parents as well. Warmth, authenticity, and nurturing are my go-tos. I'm all about fostering creativity and curiosity, making every moment a blend of fun and learning. Kids have this incredible knack for reminding us of life's simple joys! I am available evenings, and weekends. I am excited about the opportunity to connect with you and your children ☺️

Hello parents, My name is Tracey, I'm vibrant, energetic and also calm and have a lifelong passion for working with children. From an early age, I discovered my love for caring for babies, toddlers, and young kids at 13 in my hometown of Castlemaine. In my 20s and 30's, I worked in childcare centres before transitioning into a career as a professional musician, alongside raising two wonderful sons who are now 28 and 20. Over the years, I’ve remained deeply involved in caregiving, helping raise my nieces, babysitting for families, and working in aged care as a diversional therapist and a disability support worker. For the past few years, I have been a regular carer for three children under the age of six, further strengthening my hands-on experience, I have also recently nannied and cared for a family with teenage children. I strive to create a nurturing, fun, and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and engaged. I believe in the importance of routine, ensuring children are well-rested and happy. I love incorporating creativity and learning into daily activities, whether through reading, music, arts and crafts, puzzles, or imaginative play and love being silly! With my background in music, I enjoy singing lullabies, teaching songs, and use music as a calming tool. I also have a strong focus on health and well-being and love cooking, I come from an Italian background and it would probably be my speciality, however, I can mostly cook anything you require. Light household duties are absolutely fine, as I work best in a clean and organised space. I'm also an animal lover, nature lover and gardener. I would love to find a family where I feel welcome and can make a positive impact in your children’s lives. If you’re looking for a responsible, engaging, experienced mother and caring babysitter, I’d be delighted to chat further. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones! Warm regards, Tracey

**Although I do not have my current WWCC, I am happy to acquire it** Hi! My name is Daryl — I’m 27 years old and a caring, energetic, responsible, and down-to-earth babysitter/nanny who understands how important it is to find the right person to look after your little loved ones. I’ve had experience caring for children of all ages, including my own niece, and I genuinely enjoy this kind of work.

I have a dorky love for housework, cleaning and keeping things neat and organised — so you can count on me to help keep things running smoothly at home too. I love helping out and take pride in being a steady, supportive presence — both for kids and for parents who need an extra pair of capable hands. If you're looking for someone dependable, easy to work with, and genuinely passionate about caregiving, I'd love to hear from you! A little bit about me: I hold a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and Japanese Studies, as well as a Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice (both in WA & VIC). I've spent the past few years gaining experience in both the Real Estate and Marketing industries, which has helped me build strong communication skills, adaptability, and a professional, people-focused approach.
