Hi families, I'm a primary school teacher currently working as a Casual Relief Teacher (CRT) and Sports Coach running physical education incursions in Primary Schools. I am looking to pick up some additional work in the evenings, weekends, and school holidays. I'm also open to daytime shifts alongside my other teaching commitments if the hours and arrangement is the right fit for both myself and your family. Ideally, I'd love to build a strong relationship with a family and become a regular, trusted support person for your children through ongoing work. Before moving into full-time teaching for 3 years, I worked as a nanny for over 10 years with several wonderful families, caring for children ranging from 12 months to 15 years old. My first part-time job was at The Tiny Chef, a children's cooking party venue, where I worked with children aged 2–13, giving me extensive experience supporting and engaging with kids across a variety of ages and settings. Outside of teaching, I love staying active and playing netball. I'm currently coaching two senior teams at Melbourne University and have previously coached junior teams and NetSetGO programs. I enjoy creating fun, positive, and engaging experiences for children, whether that's helping with homework, playing games, doing arts and crafts, getting outdoors, or simply being a reliable and caring presence. I look forward to hearing from you and would love to chat about how I can support your family!

Over the last five years I have worked across various schools as a Teacher and Teacher's Aide, working with an array of different children.

I value my communication skills, as well as my ability to work in a team environment to support children on a day to day basis.

I genuinely love working with children and creating a fun, safe and relaxed environment for them. I’m currently completing further studies to obtain my Masters in Clinical Psychology. 🎨 I love keeping kids entertained with activities such as drawing, games, baking, outdoor activities and crafts rather than relying on screens. 🚗 I have access to a car and am happy to help with school/activity drop-offs and pick-ups. 📚 Happy to help with homework, reading and schoolwork. 🍝 I’m also happy to prepare meals/snacks for the kids and help with light household tasks. 💛 I’d describe myself as warm, friendly, reliable and approachable, and I really value building a relationship with both the children I care for and their families. 📅 My schedule is flexible and I’m available for both regular and casual babysitting.

I absolutely love kids - their curiosity, creativity, and laughter bring me so much joy and remind me daily why I’ve continued doing this for so long. Over the years, I’ve cared for children of all ages, from newborns to teens, twins and multiples, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can learn, play, and feel supported. Whether it’s helping with schoolwork, coming up with fun activities, or keeping daily routines running smoothly, I genuinely enjoy being a part of each child’s growth and happiness.

Hi, I'm Sahasra, a 19-year-old second-year Business student at RMIT with a passion for working with children. I've always been drawn to working with kids and find it genuinely rewarding to be part of their lives, even in small ways. I've cared for children of family and friends, and during my final weeks of Year 12, I volunteered with Kinder to Year 1 students at my high school, where I played with them, helped them learn, joined in on activities, and assisted them whenever needed. That experience taught me a lot about understanding each child as an individual and adapting to how they're feeling in different situations. Even at family and friends' gatherings, I'm usually the one keeping an eye on the kids, since it's genuinely what I enjoy. Whether they're calm or full of energy, I'm comfortable managing either. I'd love to help look after your little ones, and I'll always keep you updated and adjust to whatever preferences or routines your family has.
