Hi Parents! I'm Joanna. Originally from the UK & have been living in Melbourne for 14 years. I absolutely love spending time with children, they bring lots of laughter & joy.

Hello! My name is Peri :) I am a creative media uni student with a lot of experience working with kids. I've been a nanny for a handful of families and grown close with their lovely kiddos - additionally, I have experience working in children's entertainment (as a fairy!), as a swimming teacher and as a casual educator for preschool/primary school students. I love to write, spend time outdoors, cook and make art in my free time. I am passionate about about child protection, women's rights and family welfare, and this drives me to provide balanced, compassionate care. I am keen to nurture artistic inclinations and my goal is for each child I work with to feel safe and confident. In addition to supervising children, I am willing to complete light housework, prepare food and help with homework. I am comfortable caring for children of all ages and abilities as long as I am provided with a good overview of your beautiful child's unique needs! Don't hesitate to reach out or request a CV! My hourly rate is negotiable.

Hello Families!! My name is Betsy, I am 19 and studying a bachelor of nursing. I love spending time with kids, reading, imaginative play, cooking/baking, arts and crafts etc, and am more than happy to help with household work and cooking. For the past 3 years I have enjoyed being a nanny for a little boy who is now 6.5 years old, I still look after him 2 weekends a month but am looking for some extra work. I am looking for a regular day or two each week that I can fit in with my uni timetable, preferably Mondays (all day), Wednesday afternoons, or Fridays after 11am I am currently on my green P plates, and am a confident and comfortable driver however I am completely understanding of the fact that not everyone would be comfortable with me driving their children.

I am a calm, passionate and kind educator. I have over 10 years of experience caring for children from 12 weeks to 12 years, with most of my experience with babies and toddlers. Currently, I am a primary teacher for Year 5 students and in term break until 30th August 2024, so am free day and night. My style is a mix of Reggio Emilia teaching principles, as well as Montessori, meaning my curriculum is flexible and based on the child's interest and development level. References available.

As a dedicated and compassionate nanny, I bring patience, love, and tranquility to every child I care for. With a background in the hospitality industry, I excel in creating warm, welcoming, and structured environments. My experience as a student and in casual work has honed my multitasking and organizational skills. I am not only responsible and reliable but also creative and fun-loving, always finding engaging activities to stimulate a child’s mind. My love for animals and art enriches the experiences I share with the children, encouraging them to explore their creativity and develop a love for all living beings. Moreover, my culinary skills ensure that I can provide nutritious and delicious meals. I am committed to fostering a nurturing and safe environment where children can thrive and feel cherished.

I have 3 years previous babysitting experience (references available), currently babysitting with another family,  but looking for a second job.  I also have WWC & Police Clearance. Despite being a male (!) I have great rapport with kids. I'm easy going, though at the same time, I'm very aware of manners, positive reinforcement and being a role model plus not treating them as kids (if that makes sense).  My responsible, nurturing and energetic personality has allowed me to build very strong and continuous relationships with past children that I have babysat. Never smoked/dont drink, interests are sport, taught Karate for 12 years, play tennis, pretty good cook & learning Japanese. I have very flexible roster x 7 days & available on short notice when needed.

Hello :) I’m a 34 year old graphic designer who has also worked in childcare in various capacities ever since I was a teenager. I spent a good few years in my 20s as a full-time nanny, and now do some casual babysitting for these families. I miss childcare and am looking to make a little extra money so am keeping an eye out for families I’d be a good fit for as a regular/casual sitter. I’ve got great references, and love baking, board games, crafts, and reading.

Hi, My name is Val, I am 25 years old and I live Melbourne, I’m from Colombian and I arrived in this beautiful city 1 year ago because I wanted to improve my English and have a cultural exchange, I have always loved children and take care of them, I usually took care of my little brother, my cousins and the children of my friends when they needed it. My family and friends say that I am a very motherly, responsible and loving person, and I also love children. I am responsible person to have the opportunity to improve my English, learn about your lifestyle, your habits and your country, which I admire very much. And what better way than doing what I love! I love spending time with children and learning everything they can teach me every day. They learn a lot from us, but we learn more from them than we think. For me, it is wonderful to see them grow with us and learn, little by little, to be more independent. I have experience in caring for children from 3 years to 11 years, girls and boys too. In 2017 I took care of a girl named Monserrat Tovar, who was 3 year old, and a 4-year-old boy named Samuel Tovar, then in 2018 I took care of 7-year-old boy named Juan José Pinzón and with him I shared until the 2020, later this year I had the opportunity to share with a six-year-old girl named Amelia Cardozo. The experience was great. I used to wake the children, have breakfast together, help them dress, take them to the Garden or help them with their homework when they were studying virtually or sometimes, we did activities and games for a pleasant and fun time with the children, however, these Activities varied depending on the child he was with as he adapted the activities according to their ages. Besides the experience in babysitting, I also love listening to music when I have free time, watching movies or series, traveling and learning about other cultures and ways of life, meeting new people, talking and sharing experiences, going out with friends or preparing lunch or dinner with my family or with my friends too. I am very excited about the opportunity to get to know you better and be a member of your family. I hope to hear from you! Best wishes, Val.
