Babysitters in Coburg, VIC

My name is Lidia, and I’m originally from Chile. I currently live in Melbourne and have a passion for caring for children. I have been a nanny since I was 18, and now at 28, I truly enjoy this work. I also love animals and do pet sitting in my free time. As the eldest in my family, I take great joy in looking after my younger cousins, which has further strengthened my nurturing skills. Additionally, I am a chef, so I enjoy creating healthy meals for the children I care for.

Hi lovely parents! My name is Téa and I am looking for work over the school holidays period, either part time or casual. Ideally, any parents reaching out need someone to babysit/child mind on a regular basis or to help in regards to an upcoming event. Background: I am going into my third year of uni in 2025, studying a bachelor of arts at the University of Melbourne. I major in psychology, and hope to one day work as an animal assisted therapist for children. Availability: For the school holiday period I am available to work every day, at any time. I currently work with 2 lovely families. One that requires casual babysitting once every fortnight or so after hours, so my availability can fluctuate but I will happily convey this with you. And a second that required before school help from 7:30am till 10am, but now only casually for the holidays. Rate: My rate is $40 per hour, but I charge an extra $10 per hour (ie. $50 per hour) if you are wanting me to stay past midnight. Services: 1. Babysitting/child minding 2. Pet sitting/walking 3. Cooking/meal prep 4. Light cleaning 5. Basic homework help 6. Fun! Experience and Qualifications: As I’ve mentioned, I am currently working with two families. One where I look after two young boys aged 9 and 12, and another where I look after a 6 yearold girl. However, my experience working with children is much more vast. One of my hobbies growing up was playing chess, and I have fortunately been able to make a job out of it by tutoring primary and secondary school students. I have worked solo with classes of 3 to 20+ students at a time, and in team settings with 400 kids under my care. This means that I have gained a deep understanding as how to work with children who have learning difficulties and behavioural challenges. My work also requires me to have an employee wwcc and first aid certificate in an education and care setting. Upon request I am happy to share this with you. I have my license and can take kids to and from school/sport or any other activities. If I had your permission, I would love to take them to the zoo, park, bowling, etc to keep them entertained and happy. I completely understand if you would prefer to meet me before agreeing to any work and am happy to do so. I can’t wait to hear from you :)

Hello wonderful families, My name is Indi, I am from Ballarat and moved to Melbourne at the beginning of 2023 to study a Bachelor of Science at The University of Melbourne. Last year I had the joy of caring for a beautiful family of three kids aged 5, 7 and 9 which involved school pickups and school holidays as well as engaging in different activites both indoors and outdoors and maintaining a regular routine for the family. I have also had regular work nannying for various other families in particular an 8 month old and a 2 year old weekly which has helped me to become very creative in crafting new and entertaining activities. I am comfortable with completing jobs around the house and feel confident looking after kids of all ages. I am the second eldest of four so am used to a bit of chaos and busy environments. When nannying I enjoy getting outside to parks and playgrounds and coming up with new and enjoyable activites and games to play. Building strong connections with both children and parents is important to me, as I believe in fostering trust and open communication within the family dynamic. I look forward to getting to know new families and creating lasting bonds and memories. Thank you!! Indi
