Babysitters in Inner Melbourne, VIC

I'm a 23-year-old Enrolled Nurse and registered nursing student. I have been working with kids since the age of 16, and have built up 7 years of hands-on experience. I'm currently working with a family who have 2 kids, 5 and 3 years old, on Thursday afternoons. I have previously worked as a swim teacher for children aged 4 months to 18 years and a gymnastics coach for kids 12 months and above. I have been babysitting since I was 16, working with kids as young as 3 months, all the way up to 14 years. From these jobs, I have gained a lot of experience and knowledge working with children with lots of different individual needs. During my time as a swim teacher and gymnastics coach, I gained a lot of knowledge about developmental milestones and activities to assist with these. This has allowed me to understand how to create a nurturing yet professional environment for the kids.

Hi, I’m Eslie and I’m 27 years old! I’ve recently returned from overseas travel & currently taking a career break. I live in Kew, attended Carey Grammar from Prep to Year 12 [International Baccalaureate (IB)] & hold a Bachelor of Commerce from Monash University. Prior to travelling, I spent 5 years working in commercial real estate finance. I’ve been babysitting and nannying since finishing school, throughout university, and for local families over the years. On weekends if I’m not babysitting, you’ll usually find me out for a run with my Labrador (ex guide dog) or catching up with friends over coffee at the newest cafe! Eslie

I am a responsible and caring person who enjoys spending time with children. Over the past year, I have been working as a paid babysitter and have gained experience caring for children from 6 months to 12 years old, usually looking after a maximum of two children at a time. This has helped me become more confident and comfortable caring for children of different ages and adapting to their individual needs and routines. I am comfortable preparing light meals, helping with bedtime routines, and keeping children entertained through everyday activities such as going to the park, playing outside, doing activities together, or simply playing at home. I always try to create a safe, calm, and enjoyable environment where children feel comfortable. I am also bilingual in English and Spanish, which I enjoy being able to use when communicating with children and families. I would love the opportunity to continue supporting families and helping make their day a little easier.

Hi, I'm Greta! I'm 22 and a Geelong local, having just finished my Biomedical Science degree at Deakin University. I'm naturally a caring and reliable person — it's something that comes through in everything I do, whether that's my studies, my work, or the people in my life. Outside of that, you'll usually find me out walking my dog, spending time with family and friends, or with my head in a book. I'm genuinely passionate about working with children and creating an environment where they feel safe, supported, and confident to grow. I take that responsibility seriously and believe the early experiences children have play a huge role in shaping who they become.

Hi there! I am very excited about meeting and getting to know you. ABOUT ME: I have been providing childcare over the past 22 years. The last 9 of those years, I have been a Nanny. I have worked with many different families: with 1-4 children; twins with a younger sibling, all girls, all boys, brothers & sisters; with an age range of 9mths - 12 years old. As all children & families are different I like to stay adaptable, to meet the needs of the unique situation. Some children are runners, some are quite contemplators, others always need to be crafting and creating big cardboard constructions, while another is quite happy to sit while colouring in and drawing for hours on end. However they all ask questions non stop, lols. And I love that because of their curiosity I learn as well; from having to google the answers to the questions I don’t know, e.g. I now know the oldest living animal is the Greenland shark, and it is guessed to have a lifespan of 250-500 yrs. With the current oldest one guessed to be 300 years old! But I only learned this because one child I looked after LOVED the ocean and all its wonders. :) I find I lean towards the Montessori Method of teaching children. I follow the theme of their current interest for play, games and conversations, and I like to incorporate their current obsession, be it space or dinosaurs into our word & math games and everything else we do together. MORNING ROUTINE; breakfast, lunch boxes, school bag packing, day-care/kinder/school drop offs -For the little ones when at home and not at daycare/kindy. I like to have our week planned. Be it excursions to the zoo, park, an indoor play center, library time or classes that helps their development: that the parents have enrolled them into, or I have found that the Mum’s & Dad’s like; e.g. Gymbaroo, Ready steady go, All Sports etc., to activities we can do at the house like baking or painting or even a playdate with their friend/s. HOUSE MANAGEMENT; groceries, maintenance of pantry & basic medicine (ie expiry dates & organisation), light laundry duties, light house keeping, tiding up after myself & the little ones, keeping the kitchen clean & hygienic, school holiday & pupil free day planning, meal planning, food & meal prep (dietary requirements taken into consideration) multi-tasking and other Ad-Hoc tasks. AFTERNOON ROUTINE; networking with other parents & carers at the children’s school- that the children are friends with or do extra curriculum’s with, extracurricular coordination (this is where the networking can sometimes help with car pooling & swapping weeks), planning of play dates, supervise-assistance with homework and practice for their extra curriculum’s. With additional extras from me if wanted/needed or time permits (eg. Music theory, maths etc.) ***I have help children further develop their music skills with my attention and knowledge than what they receive in a 30min class once a week. And I have helped with further development of their Math & literacy skills. HOWEVER my proudest achievement was somehow managing to help my French charge (when an AuPair in Paris) go from an almost F (from her former AuPair) in her French Class to an A. While I was only at a very basic beginner level with my own French skills. * haven’t figuered out how/where to add this in yet. So I’m just plopping it in for now. I gained experience with home schooling during COVID from 2020-2022. With all the families I worked with during all the Melbourne lockdown peroids. EVENING ROUTINE; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine.
