Looking for: Casual Babysitting

I am a kind person who loves kids and I have experience looking after kids as I have grown up with younger cousins. I am looking for mainly night time and weekend work to fill in the time around my studies. I have a license and my own car, a police check, first aid certificate and a working with children check. I also am employed at a cleaning company one day a week so I have experience cleaning houses and would be happy to provide that as an additional service.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

I’m an experienced nanny and childcare worker with over 20 years in the industry, as well as a proud mum myself—so I truly understand the complexities of family life. I’m currently looking for 1-2 days a week and would love to find the right family to support. I have a Diploma in Counselling, a Graduate Certificate in Family Violence and diploma in Auslan, along with great references, first aid certification, a police check, a Working with Children’s Check and my own car. I’ve cared for families with up to four children, including one with two sets of twins (6 months and 2 years old!)—so I have no problem managing chaos and juggling multiple things at once! As a nanny, I bring energy, warmth, and fun to every day. I love being outdoors, dancing and singing to music, and taking trips to the beach or on little adventures (train rides are always a hit!). Sometimes, the best moments are the simplest—watching birds fly by, playing in the dirt, or just being in the moment with little ones. I’ve worked with many families over the years, and I truly believe that great communication is the key to a successful nanny-family relationship. I’d love to connect and see if we’re the right fit—looking forward to hearing from you!

I have over 10 years experience as both a nanny and childcare worker in the past and current kinder teacher My career to date has given me the opportunity to work with various families, where I gained vital skills that were transferable across each family I worked with.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi there! My name is Molly and I am an 18 year old girl, with a strong passion for babysitting and caring for young minds. I have been doing casual jobs with regular families over the past 4 years, and can provide references. I used to live in the snow on Mount Buller, where with a friend we ran a small babysitting business and worked the entire season developing our skills on working and playing with children ranging from ages 0-12yrs. Since then my knowledge of looking after young kids has only grown and there is nothing I enjoy doing more as a job. I would love the opportunity to continue my journey of babysitting and be honoured to take on the role of catering for any child.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

After studying early childhood education for a couple of years I decided to change track and focus on postpartum support, which I am currently studying. Being able to support parents from the beginning feels super important to me, so that they may continue on feeling capable, supported and energised. I find nannying to be a satisfying combination of my previous work in early childhood and being of greater support to the family as a whole. I have experience working with infants through to 12 year olds and currently work part-time at Baby Spa Australia with lots of beautiful bubbas and their families. Please feel free to reach out for a chat if I sound like a good fit for you and your family.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hello, I’m hoping to connect with a family looking for a nanny or babysitter during the week. Whether that’s help with school drop offs and pick ups, or for daytime care. Alongside working with children, I’m also an acupuncturist and run my own practice from home, so I’m looking for something that balances in with this nicely during the week. I’m a calm, warm person who loves nature and creativity, and I bring that gentle energy into the way I care for kids. I’ve previously worked as a dance teacher, and have many years of babysitting and nannying experience. Recently I've also become an aunty, which I absolutely love. Spending time with my nieces and nephews is a joy. I have a reliable car and able to provide day to day home support, such as cleaning and preparing meals. If you feel like this could be a good fit, I’d love to connect.
