Babysitters in Canterbury, VIC

Hi! I'm Zoe, an experienced and caring individual with a genuine love for working with children. I live in both Eltham and Kew (separated parents), so I'm flexible with jobs in both areas and nearby suburbs. I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Psychology at RMIT, with the goal of becoming a child psychologist. I’ve been caring for my now 7-year-old brother since I was 11, which has given me years of hands-on experience across all stages of childhood, from babies and toddlers to school-aged children. Through him, I’ve developed a deep understanding of children’s needs at every age, including routines, emotional support, and play-based learning. I’m responsible, patient, and creative, and I always strive to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids can thrive.

Hi my name is Megan, I’m 31. I’m a full time Registered Nurse for a private hospital in the city. Before I became a nurse, I cared for children between the ages of 6 months-10+ years. I have also been a housekeeper at a B&B, so I’m happy to do some housework too. I love interacting with kids and my priority is making sure that they are happy and safe. When I did child minding in the past, I liked to take them out to playgrounds, cafes, The Melbourne Museum, Aquarium, Melbourne Zoo, and story time at the local library. I also liked to do at home activities like cooking and craft, as well as assisting with learning e.g reading, writing, spelling etc. Although I work full time, it’s only 3-4 days a week so I have some spare availability. Unfortunately my job is shift work, so I cannot commit to specific days at the moment. I have my own car, so happy to drive to where I need to be. I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there Mums & Dads.... I am your Mary Poppins!! I currently look after a few families however my calendar has opened for a new family in 2025. I commit to long hour and long term commitment for the year with all of my families. It's important. Currently I cover ages 8 months, 12 months, 2.5 years, 4.5 years and 9 & 11 years olds. I understand the variety of changing developments in children and adapt to these needs. I love children and have looked after them across many stages of my entire life, as a local babysitter since I was 14 years old and up until now as a professional nanny for parents who are doctors, solicitors, engineers, school teachers, marketing specialist and even a CEO. Having a person of a mature age can provide some enormous benefits to both parents and children. I know life well and in very deeply different ways. I have an extensive understanding of the impact a moment or day in time can have on a child. Being there to pick up on these signals is very important. Recognising and sensing these subtle shifts need an awareness that comes with human development, of which I have covered extensively. Keeping a child calm and happy is important and to have skills that remove the stress and anxiety is about the energy from the nanny/babysitter. To become relaxed and connected/engaged with a mature age carer can offer great comfort to any child. The love will always be there. I follow routines and set boundaries, (initiated from the parents) for all children because it creates security and trust with them. I participate in both home and outdoor activities and excursions. I can drive my own car (petrol charges incur) or use any parents' cars. I cover household cleaning (light house work: all things kids mess, upkeep where possible in the laundry area, keep kitchen clean) to take the burden away from parents so they can come home to a cleaner environment than perhaps they left it. This is always discussed in detail for any family because I am not a 'house cleaner' I am a Nanny. I am extremely reliable and punctual to enable all parents to relax knowing I will always be there for them. I look forward to hearing from you. Nanny Clare
