Babysitters in Harkaway, VIC

Hi, I’m Mikayla! i’m 18 years old and in year 12. Looking for some casual or part time babysitting. I have a drivers license so can do school drop off or pick ups!

Hello there! I'm currently seeking a part-time or casual nanny position after the family I’ve been working with moved out of town. I have over a decade of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and I’ve formed long-term, trusting relationships with families I’ve worked with. I frequently step in as auntie for close friends and family, and have a step-daughter of my own too, and I also work as a kids’ party, workshop and play space facilitator, fuelling my passion for supporting self-expression, learning, empowerment and play. In other words, I love kid's and am very experienced! Prior studies in yoga and eastern philosophies, and my current focus on counselling and psychology, along with personal experience navigating mental health and neurodiversity, have contributed greatly to my ability to understand and attune to and communicate well with children. I have a high capacity for providing emotional support, practicing non-violent communication and staying calm and regulated in stressful situations. My priority is to foster a mutually safe, trusting relationship with children and their families, and to nurture emotional regulation and connection, ensuring children feel seen, heard, and respected, as well as being a positive role-model. I bring a playful and creative spirit, with a love for exploration, adventures and cozy moments at home. I enjoy cooking, baking, making music, arts and crafts, and exploring nature, museums, playgrounds, libraries, galleries parks and all whatever adventures one could go on! I'm confident with taking the lead, planning activities, engaging in play and coming up with ideas that encourage joy and learning. I'm also a big fan of child-lead play and enjoy discovering and nurturing whatever sparks the child's interest and enthusiasm, and I find it very rewarding being a part of nurturing a child's interests and talent. I’m very happy to assist with daily tasks like morning and bedtime routines, school drop-offs, errands, meal prep, homework, laundry and general household upkeep. Grossed out by the head lice your kid kindly bought home from kinder? I'll happily take care of that for you too :P I'm very aware of the stress and chaos that can come with juggling work, home and kid's, and take joy in being able to help in whatever ways I can to help take some of the pressure off. Being invited into a child's life to nurture their wellbeing and help them to grow, learn, and enjoy their world is a privilege and a joy, and I look forward to continuing to be a positive, supportive and inspiring presence for the next little human and their family. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my profile and feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange a conversation if we sound like a good fit :)

I am a current before/after and holiday care coordinator with over 7+ years working with kids. I am very passionate about creating happy and thriving environments for young children to grow and develop in. I am active and love to run around and play games with the kids at my work. I'm a child at heart and I love to be just as playful as the kids I work with. I have experience with children with Autism and ADHD as well as children with physical disabilities. I'm First Aid qualified and have experience in handling anaphylaxis including administering an epi pen which my work requires me to show competence in every 3 months. I also am able to tutor, clean, give lice treatment and provide engaging activities for your child/children when requested

*Available for full days in July school hoildays* Hello, I am a fully insured, qualified and experienced early childhood and primary school educator. In 2024 I worked at an outback station as a live-in governess teaching and caring for three children under 6 years old full-time. I am skilled at creating imaginative play-based and physical activities for children and helping build their self-confidence and resilience. I believe that being outside and interacting with nature and the community is an important part of childhood development (as is routine and healthy food!)

I am a responsible and reliable babysitter. I love looking after and playing with kids. I am respectful and responsible.

Hi, My name is Stephanie (29 years). I am an early childhood educator, and have been working in the industry for 11 years. I hold a diploma qualification and currently studying my Bachelor of early childhood teaching. I have had a lot of experience with all ages of children. I work Monday to Friday, but free on weekends and Friday nights for casual babysitting. I would love to help out so Please don’t hesitate to contact me

Hello there! A little about me: I’m a compassionate, friendly, and caring person who is responsible and patient. I have a high spirit and a passion for life, remaining optimistic at all times. I am determined and confident in my abilities. Helping children grow in a healthy, happy, and safe environment is very important to me and comes naturally. I believe in educating children about right and wrong, as well as instilling great manners, which I encourage strongly. I have worked for many families in Australia and overseas, and I have also raised my own four children, including a set of twins, who are now wonderful young adults—educated, intelligent, and well-respected individuals (though I may be biased!). Throughout my many years of experience, I have cared for over a dozen families and have also worked with children who are hard of hearing, autistic, or battling leukemia. In addition to childcare, I do light housekeeping, including cooking and baking, which I truly enjoy, although it depends on the time available. I’m happy to assist with all ages of children; they are all lovely and unique in their own ways, and each presents its own delightful challenges. My previous occupations, aside from being a nanny, include laboratory assistant, fitness instructor, hospitality worker, caterer, receptionist, retail manager, administration officer, and integration aide. Although I am 58 years old, I am full of energy, fit, and healthy, and I embrace a healthy lifestyle, which keeps my outlook on life youthful! I have excellent references from previous and current employers who can verify my experience and work ethic as a nanny and educator. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss your family's needs. I look forward to hearing from you! Many thanks, Maria 😊
