Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a university student with a love for working with children, and I have experience both babysitting and coaching young children in gymnastics. Coaching has taught me how to keep children safe while making sure they have fun and has helped me become patient, responsible, and great at keeping children engaged.

Hi, I'm Kimberly – Your Next Babysitter! Hello! I'm Kimberly, a 32-year-old professional, proudly Mexican, and happily married. My husband and I moved to Australia seven years ago as students, and we’ve built a life here. I am now a permanent resident, which allows me to work without restrictions. I have approximately six years of experience looking after children, having worked with six different families. I have cared for kids of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, adapting to their individual needs and routines. I’m a freelancer with a passion for photography, childcare, and animals. Since I can remember, I’ve always been great with kids—I grew up surrounded by cousins and now have wonderful nieces and nephews. My husband and I plan to start our own family soon, and we’ve already begun with our beloved dog!

And as a bonus, you’ll never lack beautiful photos and videos of your children’s best moments! Being around children has been one of the most enriching experiences of my time in Australia. It fills my heart, especially when I feel homesick or far from my family, bringing me joy, warmth, and a sense of home. I have a car, all my paperwork is up to date, and I can provide references if needed. I consider myself responsible, patient, and honest. Looking forward to hearing from you! 😊

I have always been very maternal and adore babies and children and consider myself to be a very compassionate and caring person.. Knowing the pressures of juggling life it gives me great satisfaction in helping families with commitments or those who just simply need some time out. I have 10+ years experience in babysitting and nannying and experience with families with professional careers who lead very busy lifestyles therefore I am always flexible and accommodating with my starting and finishing times at last minute.

Hello! I'm 19 years old and recently graduated from Loreto Mandeville Hall, and I’m currently studying at Monash University. Growing up with two younger siblings and having many young family friends has given me a lot of hands on experience in looking after children. Ive grown up in a big family so I am used to chaos, noise, helping with chores and all that comes with having lots of siblings so there is not much I can’t handle. I’m passionate about staying active and enjoy going on walks or playing netball with friends. In addition, I love cooking and baking, and I find joy in creating fun, hands on activities for kids. I’m friendly, reliable, and eager to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for your children!

I am a bright and bubbly person with a mature mind and a nurturing heart. I offer extensive skills in housekeeping tasks such as cooking meals and baking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping and running errands. I am fully committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for the children in my care. I’m also very fun when it needs to be fun time! I love activities and getting the kids outdoors and less on the screens. It’s important children hold onto their innocence like we did when we were young. Being young is a treasured thing that is slowly disappearing because of technology. I believe children need to use their imaginations for as long as they can, it’s a crucial part in life as we grow up.

I have 8 years of experience babysitting and au pairing for many families, where I’ve had the pleasure of caring for children aged 1-12 . I believe in creating a fun, safe, and nurturing for children. I am loving, bubbly and very reliable person.

I am also very responsible, dependable, and respectful of family routines and values. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and create a positive experience for your children! Thank you for considering my application!

I absolutely love working with kids, and my experience at Lyceum International School with pre-kindergarteners has only deepened that passion. There's something truly special about being around young children—their curiosity, energy, and the joy they bring to each day. It’s incredibly rewarding to help guide them through their early learning experiences and witness their growth. I genuinely enjoy creating a positive, nurturing environment where they feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. Being around kids is something I deeply cherish, and it's a role I truly love.n

Hi, I’m Zaira, a caregiver with a deep love for children As the eldest of six children, caring for others has always been a big part of my life. From a young age, I naturally stepped into a role of responsibility, helping to look after my siblings, cousins, and extended family while our parents worked. Growing up in Africa, that kind of support within the family is second nature — it’s how we’re raised, and it’s something I’ve always taken pride in. After moving to Australia, that same love for caring didn’t change. I’ve looked after my neighbour’s daughter, and most memorably, a beautiful baby girl named Maya. I began caring for her when she was just three months old, and stayed with her until she turned one. She became like family to me, and being part of her early milestones, from her first smile to her first steps, was incredibly special. Working with children brings me real joy. I love watching their personalities grow, listening to their little stories, and being someone they feel safe and happy around. I’ve always been known for being patient, gentle, and reliable whether it’s keeping routines in place, helping with learning and play, or simply offering comfort when it’s needed most. Looking after children isn’t just something I do. It’s something I genuinely care about. Every child deserves to feel loved, supported, and understood, and I always aim to create that kind of space when I’m with them. I’m grateful for every opportunity to be part of a child’s life and to support families in whatever way I can.

Hi there! My name is Lexiie and I am 21 year old professional. I have approximately 8 years of experience with looking after children. I am a passionate, funny (I like to think!) and a very empathetic person who loves the beach, reading, playing sports, socialising and listening to music. I am an extremely hard worker, having worked across the board from 13 years of age in a range of industries; Babysitting/Nannying, Hospitality, Marketing, Real Estate and Property Development. However, childcare has always been a constant for me. I am super sporty, having played Basketball at a high level in my teenage years. I am very well adjusted to other sports and love being outside. I am a very neat person, and typically always tend to clean up in my spare time regardless of the necessity! A fun fact of mine is that I have three older triplet siblings aged 32, so I became an Aunty to 5 kids pretty quickly! I have always loved looking after my nephews and niece from watching movies, playing at the park, taking them shopping, and other little adventures. I am really easy going and will always put children and their safety first. In particular, a lot of my hands-on childcare experience came through helping my brother who is a single parent. Over the years, I’ve regularly cared for my niece, which has deepened my love for helping families. This experience has inspired me to support other parents who need an extra hand, and I truly value the connections I build with the families I work with. It’s incredibly rewarding to know I’m making a positive difference in their lives. I have worked with the same family through another agency (Peas in a Pod) for the past 2/3 years, initially during the week and weekends, now it is just Saturdays. (Experience includes: pickup/drop-off to and from school, light housework duties including laundry, kitchen tidiness, unloading dishwasher/putting away, clean-up after kids, make kids beds and ensure room is tidy, take kids to activities and usually join in myself, lots of at-home activities, putting to bed, getting them ready for school etc.,) My Mum is also a teacher for children who experience learning difficulties and/or struggle with certain disabilities, so I have learned a lot from her when it comes to education and homework-help. Thanks for reading and I hope to chat soon! :)

I completed a Diploma of Sport and Business in 2024. I am currently travelling europe but arrive back end of September and am looking to start regular babysitting alongside my current job and as swim teacher and receptionist!!

Hi there! I am very excited about meeting and getting to know you. ABOUT ME: I have been providing childcare over the past 22 years, and I have looked after more than 50 children in this time. The last 9 of those years, I have been a Nanny. I have worked with many different families: with 1-4 children; twins with a younger sibling, all girls, all boys, brothers & sisters; with an age range of 9mths - 12 years old. As all children & families are different I like to stay adaptable, to meet the needs of the unique situation. Some children are runners, some are quite contemplators, others always need to be crafting and creating big cardboard constructions, while another is quite happy to sit while colouring in and drawing hrs on end. However they all ask questions non stop, lols. And I love that because of their curiosity, I too learn; from having to google answers to the questions I don’t have answers for, e.g. I now know the oldest living animal is the Greenland shark, and it is guessed to have a lifespan of 250-500 yrs. With the current oldest one guessed to be 300 years old! But I only learned this because one child I looked after LOVED the ocean and all its wonders. :) I find I lean towards the Montessori Method of teaching children. I follow the theme of their current interest for play, games and conversations, and I like to incorporate their current obsession, be it space or dinosaurs into our word & math games and everything else we do together. MORNING ROUTINE; breakfast, lunch boxes, school bag packing, day-care/kinder/school drop offs -For the little ones when at home and not at daycare/kindy. I like to have our week planned. Be it excursions to the zoo, park, an indoor play center, library time or classes that helps their development: that the parents have enrolled them into, or I have found that the Mum’s & Dad’s like; e.g. Gymbaroo, Ready steady go, All Sports etc., to activities we can do at the house like baking or painting or even a playdate with their friend/s. HOUSE MANAGEMENT; groceries, maintenance of pantry & basic medicine (ie expiry dates & organisation), light laundry duties, light house keeping, tiding up after myself & the little ones, keeping the kitchen clean & hygienic, school holiday & pupil free day planning, meal planning, food & meal prep (dietary requirements taken into consideration) multi-tasking and other Ad-Hoc tasks. AFTERNOON ROUTINE; networking with other parents & carers at the children’s school- that the children are friends with or do extra curriculum’s with, extracurricular coordination (this is where the networking can sometimes help with car pooling & swapping weeks), planning of play dates, supervise-assistance with homework and practice for their extra curriculum’s. With additional extras from me if wanted/needed or time permits (eg. Music theory, maths etc.) ***I have help children further develop their music skills with my attention and knowledge than what they get in 1 30min class a week. And I have helped with development of their Math & literacy skills. HOWEVER my proudest achievement was some how managing to help my French charge (when an AuPair in Paris) go from an almost F (from her former AuPair) in her French Class to an A. While I was only at a very basic beginner level with my own French skills. EVENING ROUTINE; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine.
