I am a professional nanny with extensive international experience caring for children of all ages, including toddlers, in London, Taiwan, Mexico, and Australia. Growing up surrounded by children, with a mother who was a kinder garden teacher, I developed a lifelong passion for supporting their growth and well being. I provide nurturing, safe, and engaging care, adapting to each family’s routines and cultural background. I especially enjoy guiding toddlers through play, exploration, and early learning activities that foster their emotional, social, and cognitive development. Reliable, caring, and dedicated, I am committed to creating a joyful and stimulating environment where children feel happy and inspired to learn.

Hi parents:) I'm Marika, a current undergraduate student at the RMIT. My strongest quality when babysitting is how easy I get along with children, as I am full of energy and optimism. I speak fluent Japanese as well and can teach children a new language if desired while babysitting.

I’m a vibrant, imaginative carer with 15 years’ experience bringing stories, colour, and creativity into children’s lives. I’ve worked as an after-school drama teacher, disability support worker, and early childhood educator, and I run school holiday art workshops. I love art, crafting, camping, and turning everyday moments into opportunities for play and expression. I bring energy, warmth, and a spark of creativity to help kids feel inspired, confident, and cared for.

If you think your kids would benefit from having an older maternal figure in their life look no further. I am 55 and an empty nester that loves children and supporting families. I have experience as a disability support worker and am a professional stage manager and event manager. I recently graduated as a psychotherapist and focused on neurodivergence in children. I am gentle, kind, fun and reliable. My current employees have children that range in age from newborn to nine and they are happy to provide references.

I have a Graduate Diploma of Education, an Honours degree in psychology, and several years' of experience working with children aged 0-5 in kindergarten and long daycare settings. I have also worked with primary school-aged children as a nanny/babysitter, and I have an 11-year-old. I am patient, kind, and joyful, and I love working with children. Some of my favourite activities to do with children are reading books, playing games, making art, exploring the outdoors, and going on outings to places like the museum. I am happy to follow the interests of each child, whether it be reading the same book 20 times or getting on my hands and knees to play with them. My own interests include swimming, yoga, meditation, art, travel, and playing guitar. I choose not to work with children when they have infectious illnesses, because I have asthma. I can cook, clean up after children (with their help when appropriate), and help with light tasks, eg laundry, but not heavy cleaning or washing a preexisting pile of dishes. I currently have flexibility with times, so feel free to reach out even if my schedule doesn't say that I'm available.

Hello! My name is Abbie, I am a qualified Early Childhood educator and Teachers Aide with over 5+ years of experience. I have such a passion for working with children and love to learn and grow with them. I always strive to foster a fun, loving, and safe environment. Over the last year and a half I have been nannying whilst studying for a Bachelor of Psychology and Criminology. I have had the pleasure of working with 3 beautiful families. The children’s ages ranged from 6mnths to 4 years old. Throughout the last 5+ years I have thus gained experience in settling, making bottles, transitioning to solids, changing nappies, helping children reach their milestones and creating age appropriate activities that are fun, safe and loving whilst working with families to ensure their children are under the best care; tailored to their needs. I also have experience with older children after working in a primary school and of course having younger siblings of my own! I love taking the children out for adventures to the Zoo, Aquarium and Museum! But we also love creating at home, visiting local parks and exploring our own back yards! I am also happy to help around the house and ensure that the household runs smoothly. I am also happy to provide excellent references.

I am a 20-year-old with plans to further my studies in Primary Education. I am looking for a semi-permanent role that will be consistent hours.

I have experience with casual babysitting, have worked at camps supporting boys aged 10–25, and have facilitated children’s programs in a previous role at an allied health clinic. I’m confident, patient, and able to manage a variety of needs and personalities. I’m also very comfortable with routines like playtime, bath and bedtime, and light household tasks. I live independently, so I’m responsible, mature for my age, and well-organised. I’m also a big animal lover—so happy to help in a household with pets! I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, caring, and fun environment for your children. My hourly rate is negotiable depending on the role and needs.
