Babysitters in Coburg, VIC

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.

Current nanny for after school pick ups in Northcote. Assistant teacher and teacher for NIDA Open acting classes for ages K-year 11. Currently tutoring students for VCE drama. Have worked with kids for years. Have a car, reliable, hard-working and can have fun with the kids.

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 :)

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

Also I believe the qualities I have enable me to be suitable for this job as I am a caring, responsible, friendly, outgoing and an optimistic person.

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 😊

A bit about me. I am composer, vocalist, pianist and producer studying part time and enjoying looking after my 6 month old pup! I have love for nature and animals, as well as working with and caring for children of all ages. As a 34 year old, I have 15 years experience babysitting and nannying. I au paired in Berlin for two years, and have many references upon request!

Over the years I have stayed with the same families, and have watched incredible little humans become big grown ups! At this point in time, I am finding much more space for opening up to new families to begin the journey with again. 🙂

Hello! My name is Abbie, I am a qualified Early Childhood educator and Teachers Aide with over 5+ years of experience.

I am also happy to help around the house and ensure that the household runs smoothly. I am also happy to provide excellent references.
