Looking for: Casual Babysitting

Hi, I'm Lucie and I'm 25 years old from the UK but I have been living in Australia for the past 2 years. I am currently based in St Kilda and I'm looking for casual babysitting work. Throughout my time in Australia I have been working as an Au Pair / nanny with 2 different families. Last year I spent 7 months caring for 2 young boys in Queensland and I have just completed 10 months caring and nannying for a 6 year old boy here in Melbourne. These duties included before and after school care ( prep breakfast and lunch boxes, taking and picking up from school, homework, playing, dinner prep and bed time routines). I have also been doing weekend work for other families in between from ages as young as 10 months to 11 year olds. I enjoy activities with the children such as arts, crafts, sports, walking to parks, and games. I believe my confidence with children has exceptionally grown with having 2 years of experience in childcare as well as verbal communication, patience, and creativity. Most importantly the safety and well-being of your child is the crucial factor when working in this sector and I would love to help your families in caring for your children.

Looking for: Full-time,Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi! My name is Niamh — I’m 25 and originally from Ireland, currently living in Melbourne on a 417 Working Holiday Visa. I am just recently back to Melbourne after completing my 88 Days for my 2nd year visa! As the oldest of three, I’ve always had a natural role caring for children, and over the years I’ve gained extensive experience looking after little ones from newborns up to 15 years old — including twins and larger families of four or five kids. I’m a warm, caring, and active person who loves keeping kids engaged — whether that’s heading out for walks, spending time at the park, or finding fun ways to stay busy at home. I’m also great at maintaining routines, from school drop-offs and pick-ups to meal prep, nap schedules, tummy time, and daily activities. I have previous experience keeping detailed records of feeding times, naps, and medication administration to ensure everything runs smoothly. I hold a valid Working With Children Check and can provide references from families I’ve babysat for. I also have a driver’s licence (though no car at the moment) and am more than happy to help with light housework — and even walk the family dog! I also have no problem getting a police check if needed! Regarding casual babysitting, I am available most evenings and happy to stay overnight with prior notice given, as I do currently have current commitments with other families and other jobs! I am more than happy to have a call, coffee or chat prior to beginning work to make sure you think I am the right fit for your family! Have a lovely day! *rate is $40 as of my experience with kids and rate with previous family - however willing to negotiate with the right family!*

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

My name is Sunday, I am a Mothercraft nurse worked at well known Early Parenting hospital for over 9 years. I have worked with children for over 25 years. I am a positive parenting advocate and encourage children to express themselves and discover who they are. I believe boundaries are also important, they keep children safe, help them understand and learn through what is appropriate and what is not - this can be achieved through positive guidance. I enjoy light house work and the challenge of keeping up with the washing and ironing. Cooking healthy light easy meals. If you are gourmet foodie - just leave the recipe out for me. Children thrive on routine, if you are feeling a little out of control and you would like your child/ren and household to have a routine or you currently have one I would love to work with your family. I am very open and honest and if I believe if something is not working within the family unit and the family as a whole is not thriving but only surviving - I will want to work with your family to make positive changes.
