Babysitters in Kensington, VIC

Hello! I’m Mia, a warm and reliable nanny with over ten years of experience caring for children aged 2 to 14. As the eldest of three sisters and all my cousins, nurturing comes naturally to me. I thrive in work that feels meaningful, and nannying gives me purpose — helping children feel safe, supported, and seen. I love creating small moments of joy, whether it’s a quiet game at home or a gallery visit. I’m calm, consistent, and take the trust families place in me seriously. I’m currently looking for a part-time or long-term role with a family I can support wholeheartedly.

My name is Georgia, I’m a registered nurse looking to supplement my job by taking on some nannying! I have years of experience with caring for both kids and adults, interested in taking on some ongoing part time or casual nannying work. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

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 a 19-year-old woman with a caring nature and a strong connection to my community. I’ve grown up helping raise younger siblings and cousins, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to build trust with children of all ages. I also have experience working in disability support, where I’ve developed strong communication skills, empathy, and the ability to adapt to different needs. I come from a diverse background and always aim to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive space where kids feel comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, down-to-earth, and bring a calm, nurturing energy to everything I do.

Hi families! I am a Japanese Brazilian preparing to do a Master's in Applied Linguistics at Melbourne Uni, currently working as a part-time nanny and language tutor in North Melbourne. I am applying for a nanny position since I have experience in providing care for children of 1 to 12 years old age range.  Here in Melbourne, I assisted a lovely family with 3 children (ages from 1 to 8) for 2 years 4 days per week and occasional weekends, and babysat for the family's friends over the weekends too, so I can provide great references. My duties included preparing breakfast, morning and afternoon snacks, lunch and dinner, dressing them, changing nappies, bathing, taking them to the park or library, reading books, preparing craft activities, supervising them during playtime, organising toys, unloading/loading the dishwasher, and an occasional childcare/school pick up or drop off by foot.  I have been working as a language tutor for more than 10 years, teaching mainly Japanese, but also Portuguese and English to people from different countries. Being an enthusiast of languages, I have also studied French for 1 year to manage a trip to France, and Italian to live in Rome for almost a year. I studied Arts at university as well, so I enjoy some crafting too.  As a South American, I am very attached to my family, so I consider that home should be a place where we feel loved, safe, and supported to become confident and independent. Also, as a Japanese descendant, I believe in the sense of community and being socially responsible to the people around us and the environment. I take great pleasure in explaining things to kids and have a patient personality. Looking forward to meeting you :)
