Babysitters in Inner Melbourne, VIC

My name is Steph and I’m currently in my second year studying Nursing/Midwifery which I am extremely passionate about. I love spending time outside in the sun and cooking. I have a 7 year old labrador and have lots of experience with pets. I’m responsible, patient and happy to help with everything from playtime and activities to meals, bedtime routines and homework.

I’m an 18-year-old university student. I’m friendly, responsible, and really enjoy spending time with kids. I’m happy to help with homework, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained in a safe and fun way. I understand how important trust is when it comes to childcare, which is why I am dedicated to being reliable and easy to communicate with. I have a flexible schedule and am available for both part-time and casual babysitting. I’m committed to making sure your children feel comfortable and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.

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. 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 for hours on end. However they all ask questions non stop, lols. And I love that because of their curiosity I learn as well; from having to google the answers to the questions I don’t know, 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 receive in a 30min class once a week. And I have helped with further development of their Math & literacy skills. HOWEVER my proudest achievement was somehow 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. * haven’t figuered out how/where to add this in yet. So I’m just plopping it in for now. I gained experience with home schooling during COVID from 2020-2022. With all the families I worked with during all the Melbourne lockdown peroids. EVENING ROUTINE; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine.

Hi there! My name is Lucy, I’m 28 years old and moved over from London at the start of last year. I was working for the Civil Service there on policy legislation but fancied a change of pace in sunny Australia- I love it here! I have had lots of babysitting experience before (and love kids!), including working for a lovely family (boy and girl aged 3 and 6) when I first arrived and have 3 brothers and sisters so I am used to a little chaos at times. I have also worked with children, including disabled children, teaching them to ride horses on the beaches in England (although I’m sure not as nice as the beaches in Australia!). I’m easy going, responsible but love to have fun and would love to find a nice babysitting job in Aus. Open to all ages/personalities/requirements!

I am a nurturing and reliable caregiver with 2 years of childcare experience as a Lead Educator. Caring for children has always been a big part of my life, from helping raise my younger sister to looking after my nieces and nephews since they were newborns.

I’m someone who genuinely loves being around kids and animals, especially dogs.

Hi mums and dads! I’m studying my Master of Clinical Psychology in my final semester to becoming a clinical psychologist specialising in working with children. I worked as a therapy assistant, working with NDIS children who require additional allied health support. I also nanny and babysit casually and have extensive experience working with kids aged 12 months onwards! I am comfortable with bedtime routines, getting kids ready, homework help, taking kids on outings etc. I have previously worked as a kindergarten assistant teacher (for ages 3-6) overseas and have also tutored primary school-aged kids. I love playing games, reading, and doing arts and crafts with the kids I look after. I’m energetic, responsible and caring and will always provide a fun and loving environment for your child. I believe in a gentle and nurturing approach to raising kids. Apart from studying and working, I enjoy martial arts, playing tennis and learning different languages. I know 5 different languages (although I wouldn’t say I’m fluent in all of them)! I also love dogs, so if you have a furry friend, I’m all for it! I’m looking for a half or full day nanny role on Thursdays, with flexibility to also add Tuesdays after 12pm if it helps :) I’m also available as a casual babysitter for date nights, evenings or weekends. Message me if you’d like to know more about how I can help your family :)

I’m a bubbly, friendly and caring third-year Bachelor of Education (Primary) student, currently working as a Teacher Aide with Year 5 students. I have been working as a Teacher Aide for the past two years and absolutely love working with children and supporting their learning and development. I also have four years of experience working in before and after school care, where I’ve worked with children of a range of ages and developed lots of experience managing behaviour, creating fun activities and ensuring children feel safe, supported and included. I’m looking for babysitting opportunities throughout October and would love the opportunity to continue working with a family on an ongoing basis alongside my studies and placement. I’m hoping to build on my experience with children while also earning some extra income during my degree. Outside of work and university, I’m very sporty and play both basketball and football at a high level myself. I’m energetic, love being active with kids and enjoy getting involved in games and activities rather than simply sitting on the sidelines! I’m reliable, approachable and genuinely love working with children. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help out wherever I can. 😊
