Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi there 😊 Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I genuinely love spending time with children, and I've worked with all ages. From newborns to teenagers. I’ve had a lot of experience with babies and toddlers so I'm very comfortable and confident with feeding, bathing, changing, and bedtime routines. My style is warm hearted, kind, patient, nurturing and loving. I practice meditation and mindfulness which flows through to my work and allows me to maintain peace and calm when faced with challenges. I am encouraging and enthusiastic with children, which allows them to blossom and shine in their own unique ways. I love being outdoors and an average day with me usually includes a walk to the local park, nature reserve, cafe, or at the very least a run around the backyard. I also enjoy outings to the Collingwood Children's Farm, Scienceworks, the Museum, the local Library and many more adventures when time permits. I've worked as an au pair in France, a volunteer teacher in Nepal, and a nanny and babysitter in Melbourne for over 10 years. I also love working with neurodivergent people and am currently working part time as a disability support worker. I have my own ABN and insurance that covers all aspects of my work in both the disability and nannying/babysitting sectors. I can invoice through my business for casual or short-term roles, but I'm also open to employment terms and rates for long-term roles. I have a reliable car with room for all the seats, I'm willing to travel, and I can provide solid references. I've also had a lot of last minute bookings so I'm very comfortable just jumping in with families that I'm meeting for the first time! Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best in finding that perfect nanny or babysitter to suit your family.

Hi, my name is Elora! I’m an 20-year-old based in Pakenham and currently looking for babysitting work. While I do not have formal babysitting experience yet, I’m extremely passionate about caring for others, especially children, and I’m eager to learn and grow in this role. I recently did two months working in an early childhood educator role, but decided this was not the right path for me as I’d rather be in a nanny type role. I feel this role would suit me more as I can more deeply understand and work with a few children and form a stronger bond with them. I’m comfortable caring for children of all ages, and would love the opportunity to support your family. I’m also happy to help out with light housework and cleaning. I’m available everyday of the week and I have a Working With Children Check. My hourly rate starts at $25. If you have any questions or would like to chat further, please feel free to contact me at eloraperrow@gmail.com. Looking forward to hearing from you!
