Hey there! My name is Mel. I'm an educator in the performing arts, with a passion for music, theatre, and learning and have +10 years of experience in childcare, nannying and babysitting. I'm a performer and teacher by trade, with qualifications from NIDA (The National Institute of Dramatic Art) and the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and I hold a Masters degree in Performance Teaching from The University Of Melbourne. I have very real connections with families I've met through this website, and have been taking jobs from Find A Babysitter for years, so I have lots of positive reviews to speak to the natural affinity I have with kids! I nannied consistently for a beautiful family with two toddlers over the past last two years and have also worked as an Educator/Carer at the popular Kool Kidzz holiday program, an Educator and Carer at Penleigh & Essendon Grammar School in the music and drama programs and as an Arts & Crafts teacher in shopping centre workshops. I'm a genuinely enthusiastic, warm, bubbly and playful person who adores playing with children (and is happy to, for hours on end!) but can be equally firm and instil boundaries when required. I'm totally unfazed by a noisy, busy household and pets are never a problem (in fact, always a plus). I would love to hear from you if you think I might be a lovely fit for your family's needs! I am always looking for casual babysitting work, so feel free to reach out! Best, Mel

I have 15 plus years of experience. I have worked as a nanny and a babysitter both in the United Kingdom and in Australia. I have worked with children of all ages with a range of different needs. The parents whom I have worked for have given me positive appraisals stating that I am attentive, interactive, creative, friendly and hard working. All of the families whom I have worked for have been busy families and I have assisted with school drop offs, school pickup's, meal preparation/feedings, house hold tasks, supervising/assisting with homework and keeping things in good running order whilst parents are occupied. I am a non smoker, I have a driver's licence, fully insured car, WWC card, parent references, qualification in Children's Services. I would love to organise a meet and greet with you to meet your family to see if we are the right fit for each other.

Hi beautiful families; My name is Melissa I have been working in Early Childhood since 2003. My experience is with children who are toddler age to four years. I have the relevant qualifications.

Hi. I am an experienced babysitter with 30+ years experience with children of all ages. I am comfortable caring for small babies too. Children warm to me easily.

I have experience caring for neurodiverse children and children and young people in out of home care.

My name is Francesca, I am 32 and I am the eldest of three children in my family, with two younger brothers. I was born and raised in Melbourne, living on the Mornington Peninsula for most of my childhood before residing in the city (where I still live) to study at the University of Melbourne. I have babysat for numerous families over the years, starting when I was just 13 years old and would play with my neighbour's children whilst their parents worked from home. While I am currently work full-time in PR for Viktoria & Woods, I am hoping to offer evening and weekend support for any families seeking babysitting for their kids. I am a kind, friendly and out going person, who loves kids. I am a very active person and would love to take your kids to the beach, park or to any other fun activities (weather permitting!) If any extra assistance is needed in preparing dinner, completing light household duties or helping with school work - I am confident and happy to assist on that front too. Previously, I have cared for children aged anywhere between 9 months - 12 years old and I'm happy to provide references upon request. As both my parents worked full-time whilst my two younger bothers and I were growing up, I have had lots of my own experiences with nannies and babysitters and know what makes a good carer from the perspective of a child. Even though small, they played an important part in my childhood and I can still recall such fond memories of my favourite babysitters over the years - my hope is that I am able to provide that same experience to other kids 😊. If you think I would be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to get in touch using the details provided in my profile. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Francesca

I have worked in various different roles, such as cafe barista, waitress, medical receptionist, psychology admin as well as babysitting.

I also love painting, writing, reading and playing musical instruments. I take pride and joy in assisting in the care of children, I find their curiosity and desire for learning to be an inspiration. I try and approach each child with openness to their unique needs and preferences.

I am fully committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care. I’m also very fun when it needs to be fun time! I love activities and getting the kids outdoors and less on the screens. It’s important children hold onto their innocence like we did when we were young. Being young is a treasured thing that is slowly disappearing because of technology. I believe children need to use their imaginations for as long as they can, it’s a crucial part in life as we grow up.

Hi, I’m Rue. I completed 1 year of a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering and 3 years of a Bachelor of Nursing in the Philippines, but I wasn’t able to finish (both are 4 yr course) due to my move here to Australia.

Back in the Philippines, I volunteered as an emergency service provider for Detente y Ayuda (DYA) ambulance services. I’m also a proud member of the Rotary Club and part of a youth association that organizes school retreats and outreach programs. I genuinely love working with children — I’m patient, caring, and know how to manage different personalities. I have experience with babysitting, doing household chores, and I can also help kids with their homework or assignments. I’m good at creating a calm and safe environment for them, whether it’s playing, studying, or simply making sure they feel heard. Right now, I’m also in the process of converting my Philippine nursing license here in Australia and working hard to save up for my own car. I’m passionate, reliable, and always ready to lend a hand — especially when it comes to caring for others.
