Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hey there, My name is Chloe and I've been nannying/babysitting for many years around the Bayside area. I nannied full-time for two seperate families between June 2017 and August 2019 whilst completing my undergraduate studies, and have babysat for various families in the area since 2016. I grew up in a big extended family (on both sides), and have always been surrounded by kids, toddlers and babies. I studied Nursing/Midwifery for a year after school, and whilst this wasn't the career for me in the end, I learnt a great deal in that year. I'm still very interested in childhood development and love getting to know kids of all ages; I think they can teach you great perspective and how to enjoy the little things in life. I also became an Auntie in 2023 and have been helping my brother and SIL out with the little one, so I’m very comfortable with babies now! My gorgeous niece is now 18 months old :) I'm also involved in a school tutoring program for children living in the Collingwood and Richmond commission housing through Operation Stitches and am finding this extremely rewarding to be a part of. I tutor two Year 6 kids and it's been fantastic to watch them grow in both confidence and skills throughout the school year. A bit about me - I love to get out in nature as much as possible, enjoy gardening and tending to my ridiculous amount of indoor plants! I'm a huge animal lover, and volunteer with a rescue organisation which I absolutely love; they have a farm sanctuary in the Yarra Valley which I try to get to once a fortnight. I also love to cook, head on walks with my 6 yo dog and I certainly get around a board game! Regarding my availability, I work 5 days a week in corporate sustainability - so I'm only available at night time and on the weekends. I have a WWCC, Police Check and First Aid and am happy to provide all of this to you if you'd like. I can also provide you with references, both current and past families. Feel free to get in touch! Thanks, Chloe

I have a soft spot for children and a genuine passion to care for them. Coming from a big family, I always find myself in situations where I am responsible for the care of others. This has taught me how to be responsible and shaped me into the person I am today, and I am forever grateful to them for that. I love art and being creative, as well as being outdoors, and finding fun in every situation. I want your children to feel comfortable and happy but above all, I prioritise their safety. I believe in open communication and collaboration with parents to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I am comfortable with light housekeeping and a massive foodie, so happy to whip up some yummy, healthy meals for the little ones! I pride myself on being dependable and punctual, so you can have peace of mind. I have my drivers license and I live locally so am available on short notice! If interested, I can provide references on request. I understand the importance of finding someone trustworthy and caring to look after your precious ones and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and provide a wonderful babysitting experience!

Being a babysitter is more than just a job for me it's a chance to connect with kids, be a positive influence, and gain valuable experience. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children, engaging in fun activities, and helping them learn and grow. Plus, babysitting offers the flexibility I need while allowing me to study and work at the same time.

Hi, I’m Katherine! I’m 22 years old and an experienced babysitter who would love the opportunity to nanny for a family looking for someone like me :) I have cared for a couple of families with children aged from 4 years to 12 years old and have frequently looked after cousins from 7 months old. I am a positive, enthusiastic and outgoing person, who finds caring for kids the most rewarding and enjoyable job in the world. I’ve learnt patience and empathy through caring for kids, and the importance of being warm and understanding as at the end of the day, these are childrens minds and hearts I am helping to grow, which is an amazing thing to get to experience. I love outdoor sensory play, trips to the park or taking the baby for a walk in the pram, quiet time reading books, arts and craft as well as baking with the kids. I aim to foster a creative and fun space, but also a deeper relationship where they can trust me. I‘m super clean and organised, and have no problem doing housework, cooking meals, cleaning up after play and have experience with school drops-offs/pick-ups. I am cpr trained as a mandatory requirment through becoming a swimming instructor and i understand the importance of maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for a child, and aim to prioritise that fully. I love working closely with parents to learn what parenting styles work for them, and how to implement any techniques into my time spent with the kiddos. Please feel free to get in touch if you have anymore questions regarding me and my experience, or if I seem a good fit for your family. I look forward to chatting with you :)

Hi I’m Jess.. 50 yearold mum with 3 daughters aged 24,21&17. In my early years i completed an Associate Diploma in Childcare and worked in childcare centres with age groups 0-5 years old. I would plan age appropriate activities according to the children’s age and stage of development. Now that my girls are grown, I would love to get back into working with children and teens again. As I have my own car, I am able to run errands, do your shopping, take children to their activities. I’m also a food caterer, so I am able to prepare/cook dinner for the whole family if you’re unable too. I look forward to hearing from you. If I am a successful applicant for your family I will definitely obtain a WWC and do a first aid course.
