Babysitters in Strathmore, VIC

Hello there! A little about me: I’m a compassionate, friendly, and caring person who is responsible and patient. I have a high spirit and a passion for life, remaining optimistic at all times. I am determined and confident in my abilities. Helping children grow in a healthy, happy, and safe environment is very important to me and comes naturally. I believe in educating children about right and wrong, as well as instilling great manners, which I encourage strongly. I have worked for many families in Australia and overseas, and I have also raised my own four children, including a set of twins, who are now wonderful young adults—educated, intelligent, and well-respected individuals (though I may be biased!). Throughout my many years of experience, I have cared for over a dozen families and have also worked with children who are hard of hearing, autistic, or battling leukemia. In addition to childcare, I do light housekeeping, including cooking and baking, which I truly enjoy, although it depends on the time available. I’m happy to assist with all ages of children; they are all lovely and unique in their own ways, and each presents its own delightful challenges. My previous occupations, aside from being a nanny, include laboratory assistant, fitness instructor, hospitality worker, caterer, receptionist, retail manager, administration officer, and integration aide. Although I am 58 years old, I am full of energy, fit, and healthy, and I embrace a healthy lifestyle, which keeps my outlook on life youthful! I have excellent references from previous and current employers who can verify my experience and work ethic as a nanny and educator. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss your family's needs. I look forward to hearing from you! Many thanks, Maria 😊

Hi there! My name is Cate Osborn-Li, and I’m a friendly, responsible and creative student currently studying a Bachelor of Design (Animation) at RMIT. I’m half-Chinese and half-Australian, and I have a genuine love for working with children. I enjoy drawing, reading, dancing and playing sports-activities that I find are not only fun but also super great for keeping kids active and engaged. I also play soccer in my free time and value quality time with friends and family. I previously worked at Sense of self, a wellness bathhouse, where I gained valuable experience in caring for others and creating calm, supportive, environments. Babysitting feels like a natural fit for me and I’d love the opportunity to bring my energy, creativity and care into your home. I appreciate your time and consideration! Hope to hear from you soon!

Hi parents and guardians! I’m Meg a Master’s student studying Global Studies at RMIT and based in lovely Brunswick. I’m hoping to become a development practitioner one day, but right now I’m loving the chance to work with families and little ones! I’m a warm, patient and kind person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I think it’s such a privilege to be part of their world—even for a little while—and to help take a bit of pressure off parents where I can. I grew up in a big, lively family, so I’ve been around kids for as long as I can remember, especially helping care for my younger cousins. I’ve also had professional experience looking after a gorgeous family with four kids (aged 0–9), mainly focusing on their infant son during the day while the parents worked. I’m a confident driver, tidy cook, and happy to help out with housework too if that’s something you need! Looking forward to meeting you and your little legends! Cheers, Meg Let me know if you’d like to include your availability, WWCC, or anything else!

Hi my name is Abbey. Im currently working as a swim teacher and occasionally do preschool water safety talks. Last year I completed my Cert III in early childhood education and am ready now to put this qual to good use. I love being around kids and forming relationships with new people. I am qualified in swim teaching (I could teach your kids to swim if you have a pool) and have my first aid certificate too. I love love love adventure and would be keen to take your kids to have a bit of fun, from playing at the park to excursions to the zoo. I love being busy and having fun!

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

I am a warm, enthusiastic individual with a genuine passion for working with children. I find great joy in engaging with young minds—their innocence, curiosity, and unique perspectives make every interaction meaningful and fulfilling.

I’m a 23 year old Uni student currently studying Visual Arts. I really enjoy doing arts and crafts with kids as I think it’s such a fun way to connect and share creativity. In my own time, I love baking, crocheting, and getting lost in a good book. I find a lot of joy in simple, hands-on things that let me slow down and express myself. I have experience nannying and babysitting children anywhere from 4 to 14 years old.

I enjoy working with children and have experience coaching under-12s soccer, as well as working in primary schools as a teacher's aide. Babysitting is a natural extension of my passion for supporting kids’ development in a safe, fun, and nurturing environment.
