Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hello parents, I am currently looking for an extra day or regular night time weekend babysitting If you are looking for a mature professional nanny , then I could be the one for you. As a mother of two and a professional nanny for over 30 years , I know what you need as a parent having someone to look after your children. I am comfortable with all ages , from newborns with bottles to toddlers with tantrums , stubborn pre schoolers and sassy school age. My specialty being that extra pair of hands when a new bubba joins your family, there is nothing better than baby cuddles , I have extensive experience with newborns. I will keep your children in the routine that you have worked hard to establish. Children learn through play, so lots of fun and games during the day and also involving the kids with household chores like unpacking dishwasher, cooking and folding laundry making it a fun thing to do together. I love those wacky science experiments and exploring the environment with the kids. Cooking , tidying up, washing and folding of clothes, can be done when there is a chance. When you get home , your house and the children will be organised so you can just come home and relax as everything will be taken care of, although occasionally with kids things don’t go to plan! I grew up on a farm and moved to Melbourne and completed a course at the Australian Nanny school which then enabled me to travel and work around Australia and in England. Please feel free to contact me if you think I would fit in to your family. At this stage I do not have anaphylaxis training , but happy to do so should I need to for any job that requires it. I have a reliable car and a clean licence. I am negotiable on pay, but you do get what you pay for! Hope to hear from you!

Looking for: Casual Babysitting

My name is Jemma and I am 36 years of age. I have worked with children of all ages ranging from newborn babies all the way up to 15 years of age. I have experience working in many different areas such as nanny care, before and after school care, crèche care, volunteer work in a primary school, childcare, working with children under the guardianship of the minister, as well as many years of babysitting. I was born and raised in the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. I am the youngest of four daughters, and I come from a very large extended family. I am very close with my family, particularly my sisters and cousins. I strongly believe that family is the most important thing and I am very proud and feel very blessed to be a part of my family. I consider myself to be an outgoing and fun-loving Child Care Worker who enjoys spending as much time as possible outside and taking the children on trips to places like the park or library. I also enjoy spending one on one time with the children, which can include reading with them, or participating in craft activities with them. One of my favourite things about being a nanny/babysitter is being able to teach children new skills and giving them lots of praise so they can confidently grow and develop into the best people they can be. I always keep a clean and tidy home and happy to help around the house with vacuuming and doing laundry etc. I love working with children and have always had a natural connection with them. I enjoy creating strong bonds and unique relationships with all the children I care for. I love the fact that no child is alike and that all children I work with have different abilities and skills. I know that with the right love, affection and support, every child can achieve great things. I have a very relaxed personality, but I am a very active person and I enjoy exercising and living a healthy lifestyle. Some of my other interests include spending time outside, dancing and music, watching foreign films and creative writing. I am an honest and reliable person who has strong values and morals. I believe that no matter where you come from, everyone is equal and deserves to be given the same opportunities. I am a loving friend who enjoys encouraging and supporting the people around me. Out of all my child related experiences, being a nannying/babysittering is by far the most rewarding work I have done. It is a wonderful thing to be invited into a family’s home and I look forward to the next opportunity I will have to do this, with great anticipation. If you would like any more information about me, please don’t hesitate to contact me via my email jasser77@hotmail.com or 0423 116 429. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thanks! Kind Regards,  Jemma

I have worked as a nanny for many years back in my home country (Mexico). I believe it prepared me to be able to work with children, however, by being a teacher I have learned much more than ever, since I have developed more creativity and patience by working with so many children of different ages, as well as many psycho-pedagogical techniques to teach and experiende on how to treat children in different situations. I love cooking and especially baking, I love swimming and watching movies. My favorite outings are going to the movies, going to a cafe or enjoying nature. I also love animals and Science. As a nanny, I consider myself to be quite easy going but firm, patient and I love teaching new things to children. I am also available for tutoring and help with homework! I am available for a nanny position either as permanent or casual position. I live in Essendon and I move by public transport or by bike.

Looking for: Full-time,Casual Babysitting

**permanently booked as of June 2025** **Available for casual babysitting on weekends upon request - please contact directly for availability as I do book up very quickly during the months** *refererences available* Hi, I’m Sarah. I am a professional private nanny and household manager with over 10 years’ experience as a nanny and 15 years in the corporate sector. I am a mother to a now 23-year-old daughter, who has graduated with honours from Deakin University, allowing me to genuinely empathise with parents and understand children’s developmental needs across all stages. I have spent the past 8 years nannying long-term for one family, caring for their children from infancy through to school age (now 10, 8, and 4). I supported the children through night routines, childcare and school transitions, extracurricular activities, and major milestones. As the youngest child has now commenced kindergarten/daycare, the family and I have reached a natural and heartfelt transition point. Alongside this role, I am currently supporting a corporate single father, where my responsibilities include overnight care when required, international travel, and full household support. I am also engaged two days per week with an additional family, working 12-hour days, and pre-booked in weekly batches to support their son on an ongoing basis. ⸻ Experience & Duties My experience extends well beyond childcare and includes: • Full-time and long-term nannying (0–10 years) • Household management and running private residences • Acting as EA support to a corporate single father • Domestic and international travel with families • Overnight and sleepover care • School and activity pick-ups/drop-offs • Weekend and extended-hour care (including 12-hour shifts) • Post-hospital care and recovery support • Creating and implementing educational and developmental activities • Swimming lessons, gymnastics, homework support • Cooking for children and families, including specific dietary requirements • Meal prep, batch cooking, laundry, ironing, cleaning and full household organisation I am highly organised, punctual, flexible, and calm under pressure, with a strong understanding of discretion and confidentiality, including working under NDAs with high-end families. ⸻ Personal Approach I am warm, nurturing, structured, and gentle, always following parents’ preferences and routines. I strongly believe in open communication and working collaboratively with parents to ensure children receive consistent, high-quality care. I am equally comfortable supporting single-parent households, understanding the additional flexibility and individual considerations required. I also have experience caring for children with special needs, including autism. ⸻ About Me Outside of work, I enjoy Pilates, spending time with family and friends, and daily walks with my Moodle, Murphy. I am energetic, empathetic, kind, and genuinely love what I do. In over 8 years of professional nannying, I have never once not enjoyed going to work. To put it simply, I adore children. They are our future, and preserving their innocence, safety, and happiness is something I deeply value. I hope to be someone children remember fondly as they grow older—with warmth, joy, and beautiful memories.
