Babysitters in Ripponlea, VIC

Hi! I’m Reese — I’ve just finished Year 12 at Firbank Grammar and I’m super excited to be starting a Project Management course at RMIT next year. I’ve been babysitting for a few years, including caring regularly for my baby cousin back in the US, and I absolutely love working with kids. I’m available most days and nights for casual babysitting and always bring a fun, positive energy while keeping things safe and calm. I don’t drive, so I’m not able to do drop-offs or pick-ups, but I’m more than happy to help out at home however you need. Looking forward to meeting your family!

I have experience with newborns and I can help new mother's also. I can do some casual work in my spare time, or have permanent work, if it fits my weekly workload. I have kept in touch long term with some of the families who I’ve worked for in the past. I have experience from newborn to teenagers. Lately I have been working with babies a lot... I speak, read and write fluent English and Hungarian,( I can understand a very minimal German .)-- also teach and participate in Hungarian folk-dance two evenings a week.

I have worked with a family with multiple children, and have taken sole care of 3 children under 3 years old, including twins and premature newborns.

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.

Whether it's imaginative play, reading stories, or winding down for bedtime, I strive to make each moment enjoyable and enriching. I’d love the opportunity to support your family and provide attentive, reliable care for your children. I look forward to connecting with you soon!

I will always show respect and compassion towards kids as they navigate their emotions. I am happy to prepare kids meals, do the kids laundry and the night-time routine etc. My previous work experience, coupled with my compassion, enthusiasm, honesty and nurturing nature allows me to build a wonderful rapport with children and parents.

Hello! Welcome to my profile. I consider myself to be a fun, honest, reliable, compassionate and organised individual with a load of experience caring for my own gorgeous child (now all grown up) and precious others. Bucket loads of initiative. Providing a safe nurturing environment for the little ones to blossom, is what I aim to achieve whilst engaging in age appropriate activity. My professional background includes Nursing and qualifications in TAE, some hospitality experience too. Outdoor activity was a must in my family. I enjoy cooking. love ironing (multi task activity) if required, light housekeeping too. Being entrusted with the care of another's child is an honour and not taken lightly.
