Babysitters in Kooyong, VIC

Hello there! I'm currently seeking a part-time or casual nanny position after the family I’ve been working with moved out of town. I have over a decade of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and I’ve formed long-term, trusting relationships with the families I’ve worked with. I frequently step in as auntie for close friends and family, and have a step-daughter of my own too. I also work as a kids’ party, workshop and play space facilitator, fuelling my passion for supporting self-expression, learning, empowerment and play. In other words, I love kid's and am very experienced in caring for all ages. Prior studies in yoga and eastern philosophies, and my current focus on counselling and psychology, along with personal experience navigating my own mental health and neurodiversity, have contributed greatly to my ability to attune to and communicate well with children. I have a high capacity for providing emotional support, practicing non-violent communication and staying calm and regulated in stressful situations. My priority is to foster a mutually safe, trusting relationship with children and their families, and to nurture emotional regulation and connection, ensuring children feel seen, heard, and respected, aligning with familial values and being a positive role-model. I bring a playful and creative spirit with a love for exploration, adventures as well as cozy and fun times at home. I enjoy cooking, baking, making music, arts and crafts, and exploring nature, museums, playgrounds, libraries, galleries parks and whatever else the day takes us. I'm confident with planning activities, inspiring play and coming up with ideas that encourage joy and learning. I'm also a big fan of child-lead play and enjoy discovering and nurturing whatever sparks the child's interest and enthusiasm, and I find it very rewarding being a part of nurturing a child's interests and talent. I’m very happy to assist with daily tasks like morning and bedtime routines, school drop-offs, errands, meal prep, homework, laundry and general household upkeep. Grossed out by the head lice your kid kindly bought home from daycare? I've got you covered! I'm very aware of the stress and chaos that can come with juggling work, home and personal life while raising little ones , and take great joy in being able to support families to survive and to help children thrive. Being invited into a child's life to nurture their wellbeing and help them to grow, learn, and enjoy their world is a privilege and a joy, and I look forward to continuing to be a positive, supportive and inspiring presence for the next little human and their family. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my profile and feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange a conversation if we sound like a good fit :)

I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic individual who loves working with children. With a background in teaching, I bring creativity, patience, and structure to my caregiving. I enjoy engaging kids in fun, educational activities, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing environment where they can learn and grow. In my free time, I love journaling, listening to music, and exploring new places through travel.

I am a dedicated early childhood educator with over seven years of experience working with children aged 4 months to 6 years. I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and a current Working with Children Check. Presently, I work as an Educational Leader at an early education centre in Doncaster, where I support educators in delivering high-quality programs that foster children's development and learning. In addition to my professional role, I am also a proud mother of two beautiful children, aged 3 and 6, which further deepens my understanding and passion for early childhood education.

Hello families! I hold a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care and have been working in the early learning sector for two and a half years, and it's a job I absolutely love. I've had experience working with children from 3 months to 12 years old, with most of my time spent supporting infants and toddlers aged 0–2 years. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and safe environment where children feel supported to learn and play. I always prioritise child-led play and value each child's voice in their learning journey. Currently, I'm in my second year of a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) as I work toward my dream of becoming a child psychologist. Alongside my studies, I work part-time at an early childhood centre and also nanny and babysit. At the moment, I'm available for casual babysitting on evenings and weekends only, due to my busy schedule. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Kind regards, Emily

Hi ! My name is Kyra (weirdly pronounced as Kee-ra). I am 21 years old and currently studying to become a kindergarten teacher. I love books and silly little (or even long) walks. I am very outdoorsy and usually spend my free time arranging flowers or doing art and crafts. Parents and particularly grandparents adore me, mostly because i make great coffees !

I am a compassionate and responsible caregiver with personal experience caring for my nephew from birth to age three, supporting my sister through every stage of his early development. From feeding, bottle sterilisation, and nap routines to playful engagement and comfort, I have hands-on knowledge of infant and toddler care. I understand how difficult it can be for parents to leave their baby with someone new, which is why I treat every child as my own—precious and God-sent. Families can trust my patience, reliability, and nurturing nature. I am also willing to obtain a Working with Children Check (WWCC).

I specialise in the provision of stimulating, nurturing and educational care for children of all ages/stages and developmental abilities. I first began a career in Early Childhood upon the completion of a Pre School Mothercraft Nurse Certificate and Diploma of Social Science (child care and education).

In recent years I have specialised working privately for families in a supportive, caring and multi tasked capacity as Nanny, Nanager, Personal Assistant, book keeper and House Manager. My work responsibilites have varied from night nanny to infants, carer and educator of pre school, primary and secondary aged children. I have worked casually, part time and full time and at times taken on sole care of children during their parents absence of anything from 2 days to 5 weeks. If you are looking for a highly professional, sincerely fun-loving and nurturing carer and educator for your child or children, I would love to hear from you.

Hi I am Allee and I am a 19 year old girl studying Psychology at Deakin!!
