Babysitters in Port Melbourne, VIC

Hello, my name is Zuzana and I have over 25 years of child care experience gained in private homes, nursery schools, government schools, Childcare centres, Before and After School Clubs, playgroups and children’s home. I have worked with several families, with children aged from 12 weeks up to 14 years old. I worked as a nanny in London for 7 years for the same family. This helped me to gain experience with children from newborns up to 14 years old. I gained NVQ Level 2 and 3 in Year Years and childcare in London. I then moved to the West Midlands where I worked for local government schools including a Special Needs School. While I was working at the Special Needs school I also studied with The Open University where I gained Level 4 Certificate in Early Years Practice. (Diploma in Children's Services) In 2008 my husband and I moved to Australia where I worked as part-time Teaching Assistant and Team Leader (Mon – Wed) for Before and After School care in a Catholic School where I have worked for the last 4 years. I also work as live out part-time nanny. For the last 10 years I have worked as nanny/tutor in Hong Kong. I enjoy cycling, swimming, skiing, camping, yoga, craft, reading, gardening and travelling. In my spare time I love making handmade cards as well as inventing new recipes. Regards Zuzana Harris

Hi there! I’m an energetic and caring babysitter with 2 years of experience in long daycare childcare. I love creating a fun, engaging, and safe environment for kids to learn and play. With patience, creativity, and a bubbly personality, I enjoy organizing games, arts & crafts, and outdoor activities. My daycare background has equipped me with strong skills in establishing routines, providing early learning support, and managing multiple children. Trustworthy, responsible, and full of smiles—I’m here to make babysitting enjoyable for your little ones while giving you peace of mind!

Hi I am Holly, I’m currently studying biomedical science at Melbourne Uni, and when I’m not at uni or studying, I’m usually hanging out with my pets, seeing friends, or watching the footy (big Collingwood supporter!). I’ve always loved spending time with kids — I’m someone who’s really calm and down-to-earth, and I genuinely enjoy creating a space where kids feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Babysitting is something I take seriously, but I also love to have fun with it, whether that’s playing games, helping with homework, or just being a steady, friendly presence when parents need an extra hand.

Hi Parents! I’m an experienced babysitter who is creative, caring and responsible! I enjoy playing games and doing activities with kids - keeping them off screens! I do my best to make sure kids have a fun experience in my care while always prioritising their safety and wellbeing. I have a very gentle, calm approach and can stick to your usual routine and any household rules. I am currently available for weekend and evening babysitting including last-minute bookings. I would love to find an ongoing evening arrangement. I have cared for children from 6mth to 16yrs old over the last seven years. I can provide two parent references on request. I study in the CBD and live in the Monash area.

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

Hi, I’m Yvonne, a 21 year old from New Zealand. I grew up as an only child but spent every school holiday I could with my cousins, playing on the trampoline and swimming in the pool.
