I am always on time and flexible to the needs of the children and the family as I am easy going and professional. I have a current Police Check (issued 08/07/24) and a Working with Children Check (expiring 31/08/2027). I also have Level 2 First Aid with CPR certificate (issued 14/01/2025), NDIS check (expiring 15/06/26).

I am also highly experienced in aged care and disability care and possess a Diploma of Caregiving, Certificates in Dementia Care, Certificate IV in Ageing Support and Certificate IV in Disability. If you have any children/parents/relatives/friends that you could refer to me, that would be much appreciated. I am looking for weekend and evening babysitting work. I am happy to do some light meal preparation - either with the kids or by myself and undertake light household duties like washing, folding, dishes etc. I enjoy engaging with the kids by taking them to the park, pool, play centre, walks, movies, library, zoo etc., during the day or play games, board games, arts and crafts, puzzles or watch movies at night. I also respect the parents’ wishes by following the usual routines. I am not one of those babysitters who puts the kids in front of the TV all day and night.

I can drive the household vehicles, including all car makes and models.

I can negotiate a price on overnight stays and vacation care. I feel comfortable and confident in looking after many children, however, I do prefer to care for no more than 2 children (or 3 if the children are older), this is so I can provide the best possible care at the highest level of supervision. Please no before/after school care pick ups and drop offs. I look forward to meeting you and your family! I have also extended my services to include pet sitting, pet feeding and dog walking. I was voted Pet Sitter of the Month out of over 14,000 pet sitters in Australia. Happy to feed pets if you have any. Please contact me for further details. Thanks. Kylie

Looking for: Full-time, Part-time, Casual Babysitting Hello parents, My name is Tracey, and I am a vibrant, energetic 54-year-old with a lifelong passion for working with children. From an early age, I discovered my love for caring for babies, toddlers, and young kids, starting as a babysitter at 13 in my hometown of Castlemaine. In my 20s, I worked in childcare centres before transitioning into a career as a professional singer, alongside raising two wonderful sons who are now 27 and 19. Over the years, I’ve remained deeply involved in caregiving—helping raise my nieces, babysitting for families, and working in aged care and disability support. For the past two years, I have been a regular babysitter for three children under the age of six, further strengthening my hands-on experience. My Approach to Childcare I strive to create a nurturing, fun, and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and engaged. I believe in the importance of routine, ensuring children are well-rested and happy. I love incorporating creativity and learning into daily activities, whether through reading, music, arts and crafts, puzzles, or imaginative play. With my background in music, I enjoy singing lullabies, teaching songs, and use music as a calming tool. I also have a strong focus on health and well-being—I love cooking nutritious meals (I come from an Italian background and am confident in the kitchen!), and I encourage cleanliness and appropriate dressing for all weather conditions. Light household duties are absolutely fine, as I work best in a clean and organised space. Why Choose Me? ✔️ Over 40 years of childcare experience (personal and professional) ✔️ Background in aged care and disability support, specialising in dementia care ✔️ A warm, friendly, and adaptable personality—great with kids of all ages ✔️ Love for reading, singing, creative play, and making learning fun ✔️ Honest, reliable, and flexible with scheduling ✔️ Animal lover!

Hi families, Welcome to my profile ☺️ 🌺 I'm a young at heart mature woman with a beautiful independent 29 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. I have also worked as a Swimming Teacher with the under 5's which I found very rewarding. In my last 12 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 gig 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. Their Mum has written an excellent reference that is available for your perusal.* Thanks so much for reading & have a lovely day! Sincerely yours Fionna

Hi there, I'm Roger!! I'm a Spanish guy at his 30' that moved recently to Australia. Back in Spain i had a couples of jobs related with children (babysitter, youth camp supervisor...). I currently have an Australian driving license and WWCC but still have no car as arrived 2 month ago to the country. I'm a student so my avaliability would be after 2 p.m. until evening during the weekdays and full availability on weekends.

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

I am working as an early childhood educator. I also do children events on weekends (hair braiding, henna/mehandi, face painting, bubbles, balloon twisting). Before this, I have worked as an OSHC educator with YMCA. I have been working with 6 months to 12 years old children for more than 1.5 years. I have also worked as a full time nanny of 1.5 years old child. My job was taking him for nap, feeding him, taking him to the park twice a day, playing and engaging with him while parents were not around, taking care of him. I used engage with him and his sister with some activities like building blocks, reading stories, playing with balls and many more, especially when it was rainy day and we could not go out to the park.In the park, we used collect different kinds of leaves, sand and tanbarks to pretend like they are shopkeeper or seller and I am customer (who wants to buy food in exchange of money (leaves). Some cooking activities with sand and tankbark, such as baking cake, pancake and so on. Some activities like changing his nappy, cleaning and sanitizer tha milk and water bottles was also part of routine.
