I maintain strong relationships with all of my previous employers, who can provide glowing references. I value the importance of my experience and skills, which is reflected in my pay rate.

Hi! I’m Clare. I'm a responsible and trustworthy babysitter with experience caring for children of different ages. I’ve recently moved back to Melbourne after graduating from the Australian National University with a Bachelor of International Relations. While living in Canberra, I regularly babysat two girls (aged 5 and 8), helping with homework, creative play, reading, and maintaining routines. I’m calm, patient, and very safety-focused, while still being fun and engaging. I’m organised and reliable communicating with both children and parents. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and create a safe, positive environment for your children.

Hi Families! My name is Leila, I am 24, and originally from Scotland! I am a warm, passionate and experienced Early Years (Childcare) Assistant for 2.5 years, a Maths and English Tutor/holiday camp leader for ages 5-15 for over a year. I also hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology! My job at Thrive childcare and education involved caring for and engaging with children from all walks of life, from the ages of 6 months to 5 years old (A job I absolutely loved!). Day to day, I created and got involved in new and engaging child-centred, creative and imaginative activities both indoors and out. My job also included personal care, such as changing and toileting support and overseeing mealtimes positively and safely. Alongside this, I tutored 5 to 15-year-olds in Maths and English at 'Kevs Class Tutoring', focusing not on academic outcomes but on building trusting relationships with parents and children to build confidence in these subjects. In the holidays, I also assisted in creating and running fun activity day camps for the same children, which was lots of fun! My degree in Psychology really kick-started my interest when learning about child development as part of my course, and the importance of a positive, fun and supportive environment and the carers a child is surrounded with. I absolutely love guiding and engaging children, and I find building relationships with both the children and their families such an important and rewarding part of the job. References for both jobs can be provided upon request. Don't hesitate to reach out if the above seems like a good fit for you and your child/children, I look forward to hearing from you! Best wishes, Leila

Hi Families! My name is Molly, I am 21 years old and I live in Carlton but I grew up in Wangaratta Victoria. I am currently in my third year at university and I have just begun my degree in nutrition science, working towards becoming a peadiatric dietitian. I also currently work at the Royal Childrens Hospital, and before moving to Melbourne, I completed a gap year working at a General Practice. My boss who is a GP at the practice, also happens to be the family I babysat for whilst I was still living at home. I was taking care of their 3 year old boy Harrison, who loved going to the park, playing games and cooking! I have occasionally worked with kids between newborns, all the way up to 12 years old, so I have had a variety of experience. I adore playing with the kids I babysit, I am a very active and outgoing person and I am very switched on with their needs and emotions. I have helped out with a lot of homework, bedtime routines, engaging activities as well as downtime. I am also experienced in caring for children with disabilities and behavioural needs. I would be so excited for the opportunity to meet your family in the near future! Thankyou!

Hi there, This is just a small snapshot of one of the people you’re considering trusting with your child. I’m a qualified early childhood and primary teacher with over 10 years’ experience working across 0-3 early years, kindergartens, primary schools, and special education settings. I have recently moved into a casual teaching position to have some flexibility in my days, while still doing what I love. My practice is trauma-informed, inclusive, and grounded in safety, connection, and respect. I support children to build confidence, emotional intelligence, and self-regulation through calm guidance, play, and co-regulation. I bring art, music, storytelling, dancing, and laughter into each day - alongside early literacy, numeracy, body safety, sensory supports, and social learning. I’ve worked closely with families and professionals across a range of complex needs, including Child Protection Services, NDIS, Cohealth, and allied health teams. I’ve supported children through challenging behaviours, medical incidents, and big life transitions - always with care, empathy, and professionalism. I also offer homework support up to Grade 4 and love helping children who may need that little bit of extra time, patience, or understanding. Most of all, I aim to be someone both you and your child feel safe with - consistent, kind, fun, and trustworthy. ☺️ P.s. Happy to provide my full resume and family references post initial contact.

I am a 21 year old PR recent graduate living in Carlton, I am originally from Geelong and moved to Melbourne in 2023. I love kids and have babysat for families since I was young. I am hardworking, reliable, flexible and would love to help you out !

Hi everyone! My name is Evie, I’m 20 years old and currently in my third year of a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne. I have previous nannying experience with two boys aged 6 and 8, as well as three girls aged 5, 7 and 9.

I’m based in Carlton and currently nanny for a family in Glen Iris on Mondays (1:00–6:30pm), Tuesdays and Thursdays (both 2:30–6:30pm).

Hi, I'm Lucie and I'm 25 years old from the UK but I have been living in Australia for the past 2 years. I hold an ACECQA diploma in childcare and I’m looking for casual babysitting / nannying. Currently, based in St Kilda. Throughout my time in Australia I have been working as an Au Pair / nanny with 2 different families. Last year I spent 7 months caring for 2 young boys in Queensland and I have just completed 10 months caring and nannying for a 6 year old boy here in Melbourne. These duties included before and after school care ( prep breakfast and lunch boxes, taking and picking up from school, homework, playing, dinner prep and bed time routines). I have also been doing weekend work for other families in between from ages as young as 10 months to 11 year olds. I enjoy activities with the children such as arts, crafts, sports, walking to parks, and games. I believe my confidence with children has exceptionally grown with having 2 years of experience in childcare as well as verbal communication, patience, and creativity. Most importantly the safety and well-being of your child is the crucial factor when working in this sector and I would love to help your families in caring for your children.
