Babysitters in Coburg, VIC

I am a 25 year old teacher who is compassionate and caring. I love working with children, this is reflected in my academic and professional life studying Bach Science / Master Teaching and working at a Melbourne high school. Additionally, I have two years of baby sitting experience for one family of two children both under the age of 6. I previously worked casually in a therapy clinic helping kids with developmental delays. I play brain based games and helped to facilitate their exercise programs. This role has provided me with great communication and motivation techniques to use when working with children. I have a reliable car, WWCC and level 2 first aid.

Hello! I'm Monica - a bubbly and playful 28 year old creative with a big kid heart and a genuine passion for caring for children. At family events you'll find me in the backyard making up games to play with the young kids whilst the adults chat. I have over 5 years experience of child and house care. This includes almost 2 years of full time child care during the pandemic where I cared for 2 children (3 & 5) whilst homeschooling the 5 year old, creating a variety of enriching and fulfilling activities to maintain a positive moral and well-being for the kids. I have experience in caring for a 5 year old girl with ASD and a 4 year old boy with ADHD. I'm very house proud, and enjoy making spaces feel tidy, clean and organised. I'm also very confident in my cooking abilities and have cooked for a variety of dietary needs. I have had many years experience in caring for dogs, cats and other pets. Can provide a phone call reference. Would love to chat more and meet in person! :)

Hi lovely parents! My name is Téa and I am looking for work, either part time or casual. My time with a family I worked with for 1 1/2 years is slowing down drastically in the new year as their baby boy will be attending childcare. 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 in my third year of uni, 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: I am available to work most days and most times as shown in the chart. However my availability does fluctuate (I will happily convey any changes with you) as I work as a chess coach in schools and work with 3 lovely families. One that requires casual babysitting once every month or so after hours. A second that requires weekly help on Tuesdays from 3pm till 6:30pm. And the third required before school help from Monday through to Friday from 7:30am till 11am but will soon only require casual help for event nights. 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 or work on a public holiday. 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 three families. One where I look after two young boys aged 10 and 13, another where I look after a 7 yearold girl and 14 month old baby boy, and the third family has two boys aged 4 and 6. 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 these 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 :)

Hi, I've recently graduated a Masters of Education (primary). Previously I completed a degree in special education while I worked as a teachers assistant in a main stream primary school and support school for children with non verbal Autism. After this I moved from Tasmania to Melbourne where I worked in childcare while finishing my masters. I have babysitting/nannying experience with multiple families and can provide references. Happy to help with housework, homework and meal prep etc. Please reach out if you feel I would be a good fit for your family :) Feel free to contact me on - 0475064270.

I have ten years experience working with babies and children of all ages, including supporting parents during the post natal phase, supporting babies with sleep disturbances and supporting children with disabilities in the home and at school. I’m a quiet natured person with a lot of patience and love for kids. I have knowledge and skills in art, music, gardening / nature and science and would be suited to caring for kids who enjoy related activities. I can support children with communication and learning delays and am willing to take the time to understand and meet their needs. I very much enjoy being part of a family and watching kids learn and grow.

Hello! My name is Caitlin and I currently work as an Education Support worker at a primary school. I am hoping to find some casual babysitting work. I have previous experience working in childcare and as a nanny. I really enjoy spending time with children, and have a strong passion for child learning and development. Hope to hear from you!

Hello there! A little about me: I’m a compassionate, friendly, and caring person who is responsible and patient. I have a high spirit and a passion for life, remaining optimistic at all times. I am determined and confident in my abilities. Helping children grow in a healthy, happy, and safe environment is very important to me and comes naturally. I believe in educating children about right and wrong, as well as instilling great manners, which I encourage strongly. I have worked for many families in Australia and overseas, and I have also raised my own four children, including a set of twins, who are now wonderful young adults—educated, intelligent, and well-respected individuals (though I may be biased!). Throughout my many years of experience, I have cared for over a dozen families and have also worked with children who are hard of hearing, autistic, or battling leukemia. In addition to childcare, I do light housekeeping, including cooking and baking, which I truly enjoy, although it depends on the time available. I’m happy to assist with all ages of children; they are all lovely and unique in their own ways, and each presents its own delightful challenges. My previous occupations, aside from being a nanny, include laboratory assistant, fitness instructor, hospitality worker, caterer, receptionist, retail manager, administration officer, and integration aide. Although I am 58 years old, I am full of energy, fit, and healthy, and I embrace a healthy lifestyle, which keeps my outlook on life youthful! I have excellent references from previous and current employers who can verify my experience and work ethic as a nanny and educator. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss your family's needs. I look forward to hearing from you! Many thanks, Maria 😊

Hi! My name is Phoebe I’m 27 years old and currently work on a casual basis as and education support officer in primary schools. I have 4 years experience in education support, building connections and supporting students with a range of diverse needs and abilities. I work predominantly with junior school students but I have babysat for many families over the years who can provide outstanding feedback regarding my care and dedication to their children. I love to sing and dance and get outside with the kids, I also love to bake and with my experience in schools I love helping them to read, write and practise their social skills! I pride myself on my nurturing approach and I would love to meet your family and I would be grateful for the opportunity to babysit your little ones.

Hi, my name is Olivia 😊 I have over 5 years of nannying experience, working across a mix of key long-term roles as well as short-term and casual positions, including covering for other nannies when families needed temporary support. I’ve cared for children ranging from 5 months old through to primary school age, and I genuinely enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with both children and their families. Much of my experience has been in long-hour, routine-based roles (typically 8am–5/6pm), particularly with children under five. One of my longest roles involved caring for a little boy full-time for over a year, from infancy until he turned two. I really valued the consistency of this role and developed a close, nurturing bond with him. I’m very comfortable with school drop-offs and pick-ups, preparing meals, planning age-appropriate activities, and taking children to sports, classes, and outings. I enjoy keeping children engaged with a balance of structured activities, outdoor play, and free play, and I always prioritise their safety, emotional wellbeing, and routines. Alongside nannying, I’ve also worked as a children’s swimming teacher, teaching both group and private lessons to children of various ages. This experience has strengthened my focus on safety, patience, and confidence-building, and I enjoy incorporating my swim knowledge where appropriate. Before becoming a professional nanny, I completed several years of casual babysitting for local families, which is where my passion for working with children began. I’ve worked both independently and through agencies, am fully vetted, and have strong parent references available. I’m the second eldest of four girls, which has made me very family-oriented. Growing up in a busy household helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and a nurturing nature. I previously studied a Bachelor of Science at Monash University and am currently taking a break from university. I’m a caring, energetic, friendly, and reliable person who genuinely loves being around children. I enjoy planning activities, outdoor play, reading, and helping children grow into their own unique personalities. I’m also happy to assist with light household duties, including cleaning, meal preparation, bathing, and running errands. A bit about me: I love playing sport (netball and football), spending time in nature, cooking, listening to music, staying active, and trying new things. I’m more than happy to provide additional information and parent references. I hold a current First Aid certificate, a Working With Children Check, and a full driver’s licence with my own car.

Im a mature friendly, reliable and nurturing perosn who genuinely enjoys spending time with children of all ages. I create a safe and happy environment where kids can learn, play and grow, whether through crafts, outdoor adventures, or imaginative games. I'm patient, adaptable and attentive to each child's needs, making sure they feel seen and heard and supported. Parents can trust me to communicate openly and provide consistent responsible care. I bring energy, positivity and a nurturing empathic spirit.

I am an experienced childcare worker looking for part-time to full-time work.

Hi Families, I am a passionate care-giver looking to do some part time nannying/casual baby sitting! Growing up in a large family ignited my love for working with children, and prompted my employment at a Reggia Emilio style childcare facility. I now have extensive experience working with children from ages 6 months - 12 years old as well as a broad knowledge of childcare pedagogies. The specific values of play and creativity in order to explore independence is now instinctive to my care for children. I have worked as a part time nanny for a 1 year old and 3 year old, as well as having extensive experience in general baby sitting within my community. I consider myself a warm, fun, loving and creative carer, who genuinely enjoys being around children. Whilst I love to have fun, I am cautious of the safety expectations when caring for young children and will always make this my priority. I am competent in changing nappies, calming children etc and whilst I don't hold a drivers license I do know how to put on a good monster voice for a bedtime story!

Hi, I'm Poppy! I'm a 20-year-old Economics student and Chancellor's Scholarship recipient at the University of Melbourne. I live in the inner North and work a corporate job part-time (legal and policy research), and am looking for some extra income to support my studies. I have a Victorian Working With Children's Check and a First Aid Certificate (HLTAID010, HLTAID011) from St John Ambulance. I have 3 years+ experience private tutoring school-aged children through the agency KIS Academics, through which I have 9 x glowing 5-star reviews from parents, and I'm now looking to pivot into babysitting. I grew up with 2 longer siblings and 25 younger cousins so am well-versed in childcare, play and fun! I love music (especially Taylor Swift), dance, picnics, and baking.

Hello! My name is Abbie, I am a qualified Early Childhood educator and Teachers Aide with over 5+ years of experience. I have such a passion for working with children and love to learn and grow with them. I always strive to foster a fun, loving, and safe environment. Over the last 3 years I have been nannying whilst studying for a Bachelor of Psychology and Criminology. I have had the pleasure of working with 3 beautiful families. The children’s ages ranged from 5mnths to 12 years old. Throughout the last 5+ years I have thus gained experience in settling, making bottles, transitioning to solids, changing nappies, helping children reach their milestones and creating age appropriate activities that are fun, safe and loving whilst working with families to ensure their children are under the best care; tailored to their needs. I also have experience with older children after working in a primary school and of course having younger siblings of my own! I love taking the children out for adventures to the Zoo, Aquarium and Museum! But we also love creating at home, visiting local parks and exploring our own back yards! I am also happy to help around the house and ensure that the household runs smoothly. happy to provide excellent references.

I’m a 19-year-old second-year university student who loves working with kids. As one of five siblings, I’ve grown up in a busy household and am very comfortable caring for and entertaining children of different ages. I enjoy reading, listening to music, and playing sports, so I’m always happy to help with homework, play games, or keep kids active and engaged. I’m responsible, patient, and reliable, and I aim to create a safe and fun environment for every child I look after.

Hi! I’m Abigail, a third-year Environmental Science student soon starting my master's. My flexible class schedule means I can likely work around your preferred days. I have experience caring for children aged 6 months to 9 years, including babysitting three boys (2, 5, and 9) and a baby girl from 6 to 18 months. I'm confident with all age groups and aim to create a fun and safe environment. I also have tutoring experience, so I’m happy to help with homework or learning activities.

Hello, my names Celia and I’ve recently just moved to Melbourne from the UK. I have over 10 years experience in childcare, with children aged between 0-12 years. I am caring, fun and experienced in ensuring children are happy and safe. I'm a qualified Early Years Teacher, and am constantly refreshing my knowledge and practice within childcare. I love being outside in all weathers and exploring new places. I also enjoy cooking, reading stories and messy play. When taking care of children I follow their lead, supporting their development and learning through their interests. My approach is very gentle, calm and loving. I focus on attachment and supporting children in becoming independent and navigating life!

Continuing my sisters legacy as the neighborhood babysitter, I have experience working with kids aged 4 -13 for over 10 years and have learned how to thrive during the everyday chaos. Every day I strive to create a fun and safe learning environment while managing daily schedules, running activities, providing tutoring, and attending to each child’s unique needs. Beyond babysitting I have some unique experiences working at a summer camp leadings kids in outdoor activities (hiking, field games, creek time, canoeing, gardening), indoor activities (crafts, theatre, logic puzzles, dance battles), cleaning the cabin, meal time, and preparing clothes for the next day's activities Beyond this, I have also volunteered with my local after school program doing math and english tutoring for children falling behind in school. Here I learned how to tailor lessons to each kid’s learning styles and help them build confidence they often lost from class. Lastly, over the past 8 years, I have taught guitar to both beginners and more experienced players over every age range. Personally, music lessons were a huge part of my growth as a young teen and provided me with both a creative outlet and many of my favorite life experiences playing on stage With my teaching, I focus on creating engaging lesson plans to keep kids excited and building up a musical foundation that they will have forever. Teaching guitar is one of my favorite things in the world to do and I’d be happy to conduct lessons additionally if wanted !!!

Hi! I am Maïa, I just came back to Melbourne, after completing my Masters in Paris. I love babysitting, I need the carefree spirit of children in my daily life. I am French and I miss my younger siblings (4 and 8) everyday. When I was in Australia in 2022-2023, I was the babysitter of a little Aussie angel, that I've visited again since being back. I was the babysitter of so many kids and I really value creating a connection with the kids and parents, so everyone feel comfortable, safe and enjoy their time with each other. If this description sounds like what you're looking for, shoot me a message!
