Hello, I am a 19 year old student currently in a gap year before going to university for A Bachelor of Art majoring in film. I have been casually babysitting for the past three years for a diverse number of families. I love all things creative like art, fashion, makeup and hair. I really enjoy taking care of and working with children as it is an incredible way to learn from younger generations and to build skills in organisation, communication and empathy. I find childcare to be one of the most fulfilling forms of work as you can build connections with families through support of one another and a mutual desire to keep your children healthy, safe and curious!

Hi, I'm Alannah! I am a fun, friendly and caring person looking for part time/casual babysitting opportunities! I am currently studying architecture at RMIT and I have a passion for the arts and all things creative. I am the youngest sibling of four, so I know how a busy household can be a lot, and am good at managing tasks and helping out around the house. During school, I was house captain, and helped guide and mentor younger students throughout their school year.

I’ve worked with children for over 5 years and have spent the last 3 years as a nanny for the same wonderful family. I have an incredible relationship with them all, and it’s truly been a joy to become part of their lives. I also share a beautiful, loving bond with their daughter, who’s now 3.5 — watching her grow from a baby into the little girl she is today has honestly been one of the greatest pleasures of my life. I’m highly experienced, but beyond that, I genuinely love what I do. Creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children to grow and thrive is something I take a lot of pride in. I have found I've become best friends with the children and importantly families I've worked for over the years.

My name is Skye, I am 19 years old and currently studying at RMIT. I have recently got back from taking a GAP year at the Dragon School, Oxford, UK. I love being around children and have a fun and caring personality.

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, and I have looked after more than 50 children in this time. 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 hrs on end. However they all ask questions non stop, lols. And I love that because of their curiosity, I too learn; from having to google answers to the questions I don’t have answers for, 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 get in 1 30min class a week. And I have helped with development of their Math & literacy skills. HOWEVER my proudest achievement was some how 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. EVENING ROUTINE; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine.

Hey there! My name is Mel. I'm an educator in the performing arts, with a passion for music, theatre, and learning and have +10 years of experience in childcare, nannying and babysitting. I'm a performer and teacher by trade, with qualifications from NIDA (The National Institute of Dramatic Art) and the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and I hold a Masters degree in Performance Teaching from The University Of Melbourne. I have very real connections with families I've met through this website, and have been taking jobs from Find A Babysitter for years, so I have lots of positive reviews to speak to the natural affinity I have with kids! I nannied consistently for a beautiful family with two toddlers over the past last two years and have also worked as an Educator/Carer at the popular Kool Kidzz holiday program, an Educator and Carer at Penleigh & Essendon Grammar School in the music and drama programs and as an Arts & Crafts teacher in shopping centre workshops. I'm a genuinely enthusiastic, warm, bubbly and playful person who adores playing with children (and is happy to, for hours on end!) but can be equally firm and instil boundaries when required. I'm totally unfazed by a noisy, busy household and pets are never a problem (in fact, always a plus). I would love to hear from you if you think I might be a lovely fit for your family's needs! I am always looking for casual babysitting work, so feel free to reach out! Best, Mel
