Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi there Mums & Dads.... I am your Mary Poppins!! I currently look after a few families however my calendar has opened for a new family in 2025. I commit to long hour and long term commitment for the year with all of my families. It's important. Currently I cover ages 8 months, 12 months, 2.5 years, 4.5 years and 9 & 11 years olds. I understand the variety of changing developments in children and adapt to these needs. I love children and have looked after them across many stages of my entire life, as a local babysitter since I was 14 years old and up until now as a professional nanny for parents who are doctors, solicitors, engineers, school teachers, marketing specialist and even a CEO. Having a person of a mature age can provide some enormous benefits to both parents and children. I know life well and in very deeply different ways. I have an extensive understanding of the impact a moment or day in time can have on a child. Being there to pick up on these signals is very important. Recognising and sensing these subtle shifts need an awareness that comes with human development, of which I have covered extensively. Keeping a child calm and happy is important and to have skills that remove the stress and anxiety is about the energy from the nanny/babysitter. To become relaxed and connected/engaged with a mature age carer can offer great comfort to any child. The love will always be there. I follow routines and set boundaries, (initiated from the parents) for all children because it creates security and trust with them. I participate in both home and outdoor activities and excursions. I can drive my own car (petrol charges incur) or use any parents' cars. I cover household cleaning (light house work: all things kids mess, upkeep where possible in the laundry area, keep kitchen clean) to take the burden away from parents so they can come home to a cleaner environment than perhaps they left it. This is always discussed in detail for any family because I am not a 'house cleaner' I am a Nanny. I am extremely reliable and punctual to enable all parents to relax knowing I will always be there for them. I look forward to hearing from you. Nanny Clare

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.😊😊

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.
