Babysitters in Strathewen, VIC

Hi, I’m Poppy! I have a genuine love for working with children and plenty of hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages. I grew up as an only child for the first 10 years of my life until my two little sisters came along—now 11 and 9—which means I’ve been a built-in babysitter from the start! Growing up with Au Pairs in our home has also given me the opportunity to experience different personalities and caregiving styles, which has shaped my understanding of childcare. One day, I’d love to become an Au Pair myself! Beyond family experience, I’ve worked in childcare centers, where I cared for children in structured environments, and as a tennis coach, working with kids aged 5 to 15, helping them build confidence, coordination, and teamwork skills. These experiences have taught me patience, leadership, and how to keep kids engaged in a fun and active way. Currently, I work in administration, but I love babysitting because it allows me to connect with children, encourage creativity, and create a safe, happy environment. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, spending time with friends, and being outdoors—especially at the beach! During the colder months, you’ll find me enjoying hot pilates, yoga, or cozying up with my pets. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your little ones! Feel free to reach out with any questions. Looking forward to meeting your family!

Hello there! I'm currently seeking a part-time or casual nanny position after the family I’ve been working with moved out of town. I have over a decade of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and I’ve formed long-term, trusting relationships with families I’ve worked with. I also frequently step in as auntie for close friends and family, and have a step-daughter of my own. I also work as a kids’ party, workshop and play space facilitator, fuelling my passion for supporting self-expression, learning, empowerment and play. Prior studies in yoga and eastern philosophies, and my current focus on counselling and psychology, along with personal experience navigating mental health and neurodiversity, have contributed greatly to my ability to understand and attune to and communicate well with children, and I have a high capacity for providing emotional support. My priority is to foster a mutually safe, trusting relationship with children and their families, and to nurture emotional regulation and connection, ensuring children feel seen, heard, and respected, I bring a playful and creative spirit, with a love for exploration, adventures and cozy moments at home. I enjoy cooking, baking, making music, arts and crafts, and exploring nature, museums, playgrounds, libraries, galleries parks and all urban and nature adventuring in general. I am happy to take the lead with planning activities, engaging in play and coming up with ideas that encourage joy and learning. I also love engaging with child-lead play and enjoy discovering and nurturing whatever sparks the child's interest and enthusiasm. I’m very happy to assist with daily tasks like morning and bedtime routines, school drop-offs, errands, meal prep, homework, potty training, laundry and general household upkeep. Grossed out by the head lice your kid kindly bought home from kinder? I'll happily take care of that for you too! Being invited into a child's life to nurture their wellbeing and help them to grow, learn, and enjoy their world is a privilege and a joy, and I look forward to continuing to be a positive, supportive and inspiring presence for the next little human and their family. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my profile and feel free to get in touch if we sound like a good fit :)
