Babysitters in Collingwood, VIC

Hi parents! My name is Kate :) I am a professional, fun, bubbly, and caring early childhood educator and disability support worker. I hold a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care. I love music, traveling, reading, arts and crafts, going on fun adventures, and spending quality time with my family and friends! I have been babysitting family friends' children (aged 2-7) from the age of 15 and have always enjoyed it. I have also volunteered in primary schools with prep and grade one classes. I've worked in childcare centres and have also done private nannying for families long term, so therefore, I have had lots of experience working with babies, toddlers, and kindergarten-aged children. Working with children is my passion and I love building strong relationships with them and being a part of their social, emotional, and physical development! If you feel like I would be a good match for your family, please don't hesitate to send me a message. I hope to hear from you :)

I am a young uni student who loves kids. I am friendly, fun, outgoing person who is really family orientated. I have two siblings, one being my twin and I really enjoy interacting in a family environment. I am very creative and enjoy arts and crafts. I am reliable, trustworthy and I understand the importance of the responsibility of looking after people’s children and being highly responsible.

I’m a friendly and outgoing 21-year-old student who loves staying active and playing sports. I’m also very creative and enjoy finding fun, engaging ways to spend time with kids.

Hi families! I'm Yuka, 30, from Japan☺️ I have 4 years experience as a registered nurse and midwife in Japan and over 3 years nanny experience in Canada.

I'm happy to share Japanese culture and teach Japanese language if you're interested:) I'm cheerful and easygoing, but I always take children's safety very seriously.

I’m a caring and responsible babysitter currently studying nursing, which has given me a strong understanding of child safety, health, and communication. I genuinely love spending time with kids and creating a warm, fun, and supportive environment where they feel comfortable and happy.

Hi! I’m Sophie, a 28-year-old from the UK who has been living in Melbourne for the past 2.5 years. I’m based in Fitzroy and currently self-employed, running my own vintage clothing business. I’m looking for some extra work during the week and would love the opportunity to help out with a family on a regular basis. I have plenty of babysitting experience, having looked after younger cousins and family friends’ children in the UK, including casually babysitting for a neighbour’s 5-year-old for around two years. Since moving to Melbourne, I’ve also regularly looked after a 1-year-old for just under a year for a previous boss. I absolutely love spending time with children and enjoy getting involved in their interests, whether that’s reading, drawing, playing games, listening to music, getting outdoors or coming up with fun creative activities. I’m also very happy to help with homework and schoolwork and understand the importance of being both responsible and fun! I have my own car and a full Australian driver’s licence, so I’m happy to help with school pickups, activities and getting children where they need to be. I’m reliable, patient and flexible, and would be very happy to help a family in whatever way I can. If a Working With Children Check (WWCC) is required, I’m more than happy to obtain one. I look forward to meeting you and your family! 😊 Best, Sophie

Hi parents, I've worked as a nanny for more than 10 years, caring for babies under one and older children, too. My related experience includes support for people with disabilities and residential care work with young adults, children, and families. I'm formally trained in visual art and work on my art practice part-time.
