Looking for: Casual Babysitting

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m currently looking for some casual babysitting work, mainly late afternoons/evenings and weekends, as I work part-time during the week and study on Mondays and Tuesdays. I have quite a lot of childcare experience, having worked as an au pair three times: 🇦🇺 Australia – 9 months I looked after three children and was responsible for school/daycare pickups and drop-offs, meals and snacks, bath time, activities, playing with the kids, taking them to their activities, and of course making sure they were safe and well cared for. I can provide a reference from this family. 🇨🇦 Canada – Kelowna I looked after three children, helping with school/bus stop drop-offs, snacks and meals, nap times, staying home with the children and providing evening/after-hours care when the parents had plans. 🇨🇦 Canada – Terrace I cared for one school-aged child, with a much more hands-on role including spending time with him at school, playing, going to playgrounds and the library, exploring outdoors and helping with his daily routine. His parents also asked me to speak French with him, so I was able to introduce him to the language through everyday conversations and play. I’m reliable, responsible, patient and very hands-on with children, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Safety is always my priority. ❤️ I’m also very comfortable helping with light household tasks when needed. I have over 3 years of professional cleaning experience across residential homes, Airbnbs, hotels and commercial spaces, so I’m very tidy, organised and detail-oriented. 📍 Melbourne 🕐 Mainly late afternoons, evenings & weekends 👧👦 Comfortable caring for multiple children 🇫🇷 Fluent in French & English 📄 References available If you or someone you know is looking for a reliable casual babysitter, feel free to send me a message! 😊

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi there 😊 Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I genuinely love spending time with children, and I've worked with all ages. From newborns to teenagers. I’ve had a lot of experience with babies and toddlers so I'm very comfortable and confident with feeding, bathing, changing, and bedtime routines. My style is warm hearted, kind, patient, nurturing and loving. I practice meditation and mindfulness which flows through to my work and allows me to maintain peace and calm when faced with challenges. I am encouraging and enthusiastic with children, which allows them to blossom and shine in their own unique ways. I also love working with neurodivergent people and am currently working part time as a disability support worker. I have my own ABN and insurance that covers all aspects of my work in both the disability support work and nannying/babysitting sectors. I generally invoice through my business but I'm happy to discuss employment terms for more long-term roles as well. I love being outdoors and an average day with me usually includes a walk to the local park, nature reserve, cafe, or at the very least a run around the backyard. I also enjoy outings to the Collingwood Children's Farm, Scienceworks, the Museum, the local Library and many more adventures when time permits. I've worked as an au pair in France, a volunteer teacher in Nepal, and a nanny and babysitter in Melbourne for over 10 years. I have a reliable car with lots of room for kids seats, I'm willing to travel and I can provide solid references. I've also had a lot of last minute bookings so I'm very comfortable just jumping in with families I'm meeting for the first time! Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best in finding that perfect nanny or babysitter to suit your family.

Hi, I’m Omaya, originally from Sri Lanka. I came to Australia with my husband to pursue my Master’s degree. I’m currently looking for a part-time childcare, babysitting, or nanny opportunity. I have more than 2 years of experience working as a Physical Education Teacher in schools, where I worked closely with children and supported them in sports, physical activities, teamwork, and overall development. I believe my experience as a teacher allows me to provide more than just childcare. I can support children with their daily routines, play with them, keep them active and engaged, and create a safe, positive, and enjoyable environment. I especially enjoy working with children and can organise age-appropriate games, outdoor activities, and simple sports activities. I am responsible, patient, caring, reliable, and willing to learn your family's routines and preferences. I would be happy to help parents who need someone trustworthy to care for and spend quality time with their children while they are working or busy. Please feel free to contact me if you are looking for a caring and responsible babysitter or nanny. 😊

Hello! My name is Izzy, I'm 21 and a great companion to kids. I myself am into stuff like kpop demon hunters, roblox, minecraft, monster high and so much more so I've always been able to keep kids entertained and got along great with them as if they're a distant cousin. I love being able to help people out with their children as I understand they can be a handful, especially when you're not sure what 67 means and sick of hearing Golden by Huntrix. I'm also very artistic and grew up always teaching younger children art, drawing with them and know I can bring value to children's imagination. I also am currently undiagnosed with autism and ADHD but all my doctors and past therapist has said I am so I'm more than happy to look after any neurodivergent children!
