Babysitters in Elsternwick, VIC

Hi! My name is Akari, I am from Japan. I work as an au pair in here and I have spare time so I would like to help your family. I studied early childhood education in university. After graduated from university I worked in a Japanese nursery school for two years. I had been an au pair in the United States for a year and half. I was talking care of 4 girls, 4years old triples and 2years old.

I am fresh out of school with a lot of free time on my hands. I am a younger brother and thus always had to keep the younger children company at social gatherings, (who often were very young). Therefore, I have become quite good at keeping them entertained. Developing this skill, I have mainly learnt I have a natural caretaking ability, but most importantly that i enjoy taking care of people, making them laugh, and keeping them entertained, and this especially is the most fun to me around children.

Hi, I’m Audrey, a third year uni student looking to find a family to help out. I have a few years experience in babysitting, nannying and the childcare industry (3 seasons as a ski instructor with kids!!) and have always loved working with kids. I’ve also worked in numerous hospitality jobs so I’m equipped to deal with whatever responsibilities are given to me. I’m very friendly, organised and reliable. I love animals, cooking and have an accessible car available to me.

My name is Clódagh, I recently made the move from Ireland to Melbourne. I am a registered oncology nurse working agency shifts therefore have the ability to work to your schedule/as needed. I come from a big family and have grown up taking care of younger cousins/siblings and started my first babysitting job at the age of 16 where I looked after three children up until I was in my early 20's where I then went on to childmind for two more families part time. I am a very enthusiastic, active person and love working with children.

Hello, my name is Isaac I am currently 21 years old studying at Monash University, completing a Bachelor of Primary and Secondary Education. I moved from my hometown of Echuca in 2023 and have been living in Melbourne since then. Some of my hobbies include Tennis, Water skiing, Running, the Arts and watching Movies. I’m a dedicated and experienced babysitter with a diverse background in working with children. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of babysitting for multiple families, including those with children who have intellectual disabilities, providing a safe and nurturing environment tailored to each child's needs. Additionally, I’ve spent 7 years teaching dance to children aged 4-12, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, creativity, and the ability to engage children in fun, meaningful activities. I currently work at Caulfield Grammar with their after-school care programs, where I have honed my ability to manage groups, assist with homework, and create a positive, structured environment. Some of the skills that make me a great fit for babysitting include patience, adaptability, excellent problem-solving abilities, and a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family!

Mature, experienced, energetic and caring nanny. Retired professional chef. Ready to do some cooking and light housework. Love pets ( proud owner of Germane Shepherd). Looking for long term job.

Hi there!

Hi there! I am very excited about meeting and getting to know you. ABOUT ME: I have been providing childcare over the past 22 years, and I have looked after more than 50 children in this time. The last 9 of those years, I have been a Nanny. I have worked with many different families: with 1-4 children; twins with a younger sibling, all girls, all boys, brothers & sisters; with an age range of 9mths - 12 years old. As all children & families are different I like to stay adaptable, to meet the needs of the unique situation. Some children are runners, some are quite contemplators, others always need to be crafting and creating big cardboard constructions, while another is quite happy to sit while colouring in and drawing hrs on end. However they all ask questions non stop, lols. And I love that because of their curiosity, I too learn; from having to google answers to the questions I don’t have answers for, e.g. I now know the oldest living animal is the Greenland shark, and it is guessed to have a lifespan of 250-500 yrs. With the current oldest one guessed to be 300 years old! But I only learned this because one child I looked after LOVED the ocean and all its wonders. :) I find I lean towards the Montessori Method of teaching children. I follow the theme of their current interest for play, games and conversations, and I like to incorporate their current obsession, be it space or dinosaurs into our word & math games and everything else we do together. MORNING ROUTINE; breakfast, lunch boxes, school bag packing, day-care/kinder/school drop offs -For the little ones when at home and not at daycare/kindy. I like to have our week planned. Be it excursions to the zoo, park, an indoor play center, library time or classes that helps their development: that the parents have enrolled them into, or I have found that the Mum’s & Dad’s like; e.g. Gymbaroo, Ready steady go, All Sports etc., to activities we can do at the house like baking or painting or even a playdate with their friend/s. HOUSE MANAGEMENT; groceries, maintenance of pantry & basic medicine (ie expiry dates & organisation), light laundry duties, light house keeping, tiding up after myself & the little ones, keeping the kitchen clean & hygienic, school holiday & pupil free day planning, meal planning, food & meal prep (dietary requirements taken into consideration) multi-tasking and other Ad-Hoc tasks. AFTERNOON ROUTINE; networking with other parents & carers at the children’s school- that the children are friends with or do extra curriculum’s with, extracurricular coordination (this is where the networking can sometimes help with car pooling & swapping weeks), planning of play dates, supervise-assistance with homework and practice for their extra curriculum’s. With additional extras from me if wanted/needed or time permits (eg. Music theory, maths etc.) ***I have help children further develop their music skills with my attention and knowledge than what they get in 1 30min class a week. And I have helped with development of their Math & literacy skills. HOWEVER my proudest achievement was some how managing to help my French charge (when an AuPair in Paris) go from an almost F (from her former AuPair) in her French Class to an A. While I was only at a very basic beginner level with my own French skills. EVENING ROUTINE; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine. HISTORY SUMMARY: •2002-2003 I started child caring when I was 14: for my piano teacher’s son.

Hi everyone! My names Lucy and I’m a kind, reliable and relaxed 22 year old looking to pick up some babysitting gigs on the side while finishing my uni degree. I’ve had lots of experience looking after children with school and nighttime routines downpat :)

Hi, I'm Beth. I am an approachable, friendly, and calm person with a passion for educating children. I recently moved to Australia from the UK. During my time here, I have become a qualified swimming instructor, and my most recent job is as an education support teacher. I am available to babysit on weekday evenings, as well as on Saturdays and Sundays. I have experience preparing meals for children with dietary restrictions and am certified in CPR and basic first aid. When I'm not in school or babysitting, I enjoy running on the beach and visiting cafes. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family and can provide references upon request.

Experienced childcare worker, kind and caring big heart of little ones. I love creating safe, nurturing and fun environments, where children can learn, grow and just be themselves. I am dedicated to making every child feel seen, valued and loved.

I am a bright and bubbly person with a mature mind and a nurturing heart. I offer extensive skills in housekeeping tasks such as cooking meals and baking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping and running errands. 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.
