Babysitters in Kooyong, VIC

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

Hello! My name is Emerson. I am 19 and graduated from St Leonard's College in 2023. I have commenced study at Monash, doing a Primary and Secondary Education bachelors degree, specialising in health humanities. I am about to begin my second year of this degree and look forward to progressing my skills in child education and learning. Throughout high school, I worked a casual job at an ice cream shop, Wills Batch, in Bentleigh which provided me with many valuable skills in which I have applied to past babysitting jobs including patience, organisation, communication skills and responsibility. I continue to work casual shifts here occasionally on weekends from time to time. Additionally, I began my babysitting journey when I was 15, initially just caring for my young cousins which gave me experience with a range of age groups from 5-10 as well as gaining new jobs recently with children of various ages from 0-13 years old. Since graduating highschool, I began working part time for a beautiful family with two children, aged 5 and 8. I have gotten to become a part of their daily lives, picking them up from school, cooking the whole family dinner, bath/shower time, and getting them ready for bed. Additionally, I assist with majority of the household washing, putting loads on, hanging washing on the line and folding/putting it away - for both the parents and children. Sadly, I am having to move on from that family and am now searching for my next job! Since I can remember, I have always been passionate about childcare and have wanted to become a teacher since I was a kid myself and would love to help out families requiring additional support, as I know how hard it can be to juggle it all! I look forward to hearing from you ☺️
