Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi families! My name is Eliza and I’m 19 years old. I’m currently in my second year of a Bachelor of Arts at Uni Melb, majoring in creative writing with a minor of media and communications, looking to progress into a master of education (early learning/primary) and have the amazing experience of living on residence at St Marys college. Currently I have a part time role caring for four beautiful kids. My role includes school drop offs, pick ups lunch packing, and cooking dinner/ nighttime routines. Spending time with these kids is what I most look forward to each week! I am very committed to providing a warm, nurturing environment for both of these kids to learn and grow and I am just so grateful to be given the opportunity to watch them do so. I have my license and a car and am very confident with driving kids around for necessary pick up and drop offs and I am more than capable in multitasking to create a suitable and fun environment for both kids as I am aware that needs and interests vary with age, hobby’s and personalities of each kid! I have experience caring for children ranging from 6 months to 14 years old, and am comfortable adapting to different sleep schedules for each child, nappy changes and bottle feeding. I am also quite a good English student (hence the creative writing major) as well as art, music. Humanities basic maths and science, and would love to help out with any homework if your child is of school age :). I have been fortunate enough to work casually with multiple families over the past few years caring for children ranging in ages and believe myself to have obtained a great ability to find and execute the best warm, encouraging environment for each different child.

Looking for: Full-time,Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi my name is Olivia :) I have been travelling Europe for the past 7 months and got back on the 12th of February and I am now seeking some more employment involving working with children. I have over 4 years of nanny experience. Doing gigs ranging from short to long term help and casual covers Previously to my travels I looked after a gorgeous boy for a year who turned 2 while I was looking after him. I really enjoyed this and had a lovely bond but unfortunately his family moved to Perth. The hours were 8-6pm and I am looking for something similar. Prior to that I nannied casually for a 2 and a half year old boy who I took to the pools often due to my experience with swim teaching (this job was for a few months). Another family of two girls; a 6 month year old and 4 year old who needed my help for 3 months while their old helper was away. A german family who I’ve a good relationship with and nannied for them on two different occasions (a few months stint each time) who stay in Melbourne for a bit to visit family. (They were 6 months and 2 years old the first time and 2 and a half and 4 the following) Before some travels I did in 2022, I looked after a young girl around one years old for 6 months which was also long houred days of 8-5pm. Those two gigs were under an angency called The Reinforcement nannying agency. Which no longer runs. I have been a children's swimming teacher for Elite Swimming where I dealt with a wide range of ages typically (2-13 years old) in group and private situations. Prior to starting nannying 4 years ago i did casual baby sitting for 6+ years for local families where I first gained experience with kids varying ages. I am the second oldest out of four girls and therefore I am very family orientated and have grown up in a household surrounded by other kids which has taught me a lot of valuable skills such as communication and patience. I am currently taking a break from uni, however i was studying a bachelor of science at Monash. I am a very caring, energetic, friendly person who is a reliable, confident, and flexible worker. I believe I have a nurturing nature and genuinely love being around and caring for kids. I love planning activities, playing outside, reading etc. I love being able to watch a child I look after flourish and development into their own unique character. I also am more than happy to help out with cleaning up around the house, preparing meals, bathing etc. A bit about me: I love playing sports (netball and football), being in nature, cooking, listening to music, leading an active lifestyle as well as partaking in spontaneous activities with my friends and always trying and learning new things! I am more than happy to give anymore information required by potential employers and provide parent references. I recently refreshed my first aid, I have a car and have a WWCC. Rates wise: When looking after two children I have typically recieved an additional $5 per hour.

I have always babysat my younger cousins from birth (now 6 years) and I honestly would like to just have a fun time!!

I’m 18 years old and am an older sister to two younger siblings and have had experience around young children my entire life! I adore infant and child playtime, caring for children and keeping them happy and safe, and plan to become a paediatric nurse in the near future. I played a big role in looking after my little sister who is now 6 years, I observed the way my parents cared for her and attended to her needs, and am certain when I say I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to a child’s emotional, physical, and mental development. I would love to assist all parents with their children, and will uphold integrity, honesty, kindness, respect, and compassion whilst responsible for your child’s supervision and care. I understand parents sometimes need a helping hand with their children, and I would be so happy to offer my support and knowledge.😊😊
