Babysitters in Maribyrnong, 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 :)

Hello parents. My name is Rosie and have a background in primary education. Over the years I've had multiple long term families and cared for kids ranging from newborns through to 14 years old. My aim when caring for your children is to keep them safe, happy, and above all have fun with them. I have been babysitting and nannying for in excess of 10 years. I have a passion for cooking, I love art and crafts, dancing, and even kicking the football in the backyard (growing up with brothers has taught me well). I am a friendly, reliable and loving person who would love getting to know your families. I hold a current working with children’s check and national police check and am happy to provide up to date references. I have a 4-year-old nephew, a 2-year-old niece and recently a new addition (another nephew) who I adore. I can confidently say your children are in good hands.

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).

Hi there! My name is Safiya. I am 26, born and raised in Melbourne's north. I work in case management for a domestic violence program, assisting families to re-establish their life free from violence. I have 3 younger and 2 older brothers. I look after my nieces aged 4 and 6, and my 10-month-old nephew, on a regular basis. I am all too familiar with the nappy changes, feeding, playing and soothing. I have a disabled 75-year-old grandmother who I also care for once a week. This includes personal care such as pad changes, hoisting and showering. I enjoy caring for others and am often referred to as the mother of the group by my loved ones. I can offer sincerity, trust, compassion and years of experience as an aunty. A firm believer that it takes a village to raise a child, I do not take the trust of looking after someone's child lightly. Following the closure of the Escaping Violence Program, I have been providing casual babysitting services since 1 September. I am currently available for work until 5th December, as I will be travelling for two months. I do not have a first aid certificate but I am willing to obtain. Writing a statement does not do my character justice, so I encourage you to contact me and decide for yourself! Kind Regards, Safiya

Hi lovely families, Welcome to my profile ☺️ 🌸 I'm a young at heart mature woman with a beautiful independent 30 year old son. I have a positive, upbeat & engaging personality. I was a School Captain & have the ability to get along with all types of people. I have done some voluntary work for Single Family camps creating programs for children at these camps & I was responsible for keeping babies, toddlers & even teens occupied while giving Mum or Dad some much needed respite. This was a fantastic experience & I resided at these 5 day camps solely to help out with the other camp leaders in a Voluntary capacity. I have also worked as a Swimming Teacher with the under 5's which I found very rewarding. In my last 14 years working as a Nanny I have cared for twins, multiple children (up to 8 at one time in total) & children with special needs such as autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, asthma, diabetes, eczema & other challenging health conditions. I'm experienced with new born babies up to teens. I am trustworthy & reliable & known for being punctual. I'm a very good communicator. I’m hard-working, diligent, energetic & enthusiastic and a whole lot of fun! I have trained in nursing and paramedic studies. I have had extensive experience with babies and children dating back to the age of 9 when I babysat the neighbours children (including a couple of newborns!).... in total 15 !! I have always been mature & responsible beyond my years. I have been surrounded by children my whole life including my 4 younger siblings and 30 1st cousins! I was a mother figure to my 4 younger siblings as my mother was working full-time as a Nursing Sister & my father was away from home a lot in his job as an International Airline Captain. I have had a lot of responsibility thrust upon me from a very young age! I am Aunty to 13 nieces & nephews & am very close to them & we catch up on a regular basis. I enjoy the spontaneous and honest interaction that children provide and I find it immensely rewarding knowing that I am able to influence and help a child to learn and grow confidently. I'm fair with a gentle approach & can be firm while teaching boundaries. I believe all children require stability and need to know they are loved and lovable as a basic right. I never cease to be amazed at the lessons that children can teach us adults! I am inspired by the enthusiasm that children have when learning about the world around them. I tend to establish a good rapport with the young ones I care for which I find very rewarding. Children are so precious & truly a blessing to be cherished. Importantly I am pro-active with a 'can do' attitude & I have a keen eye for detail so nothing goes unnoticed! I am very safety-conscious so your childs welfare is of utmost importance to me at all times. I can be flexible with time & I am more than happy to work with you to suit you and your childrens ongoing needs. I also do pet-minding/house sitting (many years now since I was a young girl) & have had a dog walking/dog training business too so I'm comfortable with all types of pets. I love all animals. 🤗 *Important to know...... I have had my car licence for 40 years & I'm a very cautious driver with a full licence & faultless record with Zero accidents & no demerits! I look forward to meeting you and your precious children. *My rate is dependent on time of day & number of children needing care. As per industry regulations my rate starts at $35-40 per hour & I prefer to work a minimum of 3 hours. As a tutor helping with homework my rate is the standard rate of $40 helping one student. Thank you. ☺️ *My most recent role involved caring for a newborn baby & his toddler brother which I really loved.
