Babysitters in The Basin, VIC

Hi there! My name is Lexiie and I am 21 year old professional. I have approximately 8 years of experience with looking after children. I am a passionate, funny (I like to think!) and a very empathetic person who loves the beach, reading, playing sports, socialising and listening to music. I am an extremely hard worker, having worked across the board from 13 years of age in a range of industries; Babysitting/Nannying, Hospitality, Marketing, Real Estate and Property Development. However, childcare has always been a constant for me. I am super sporty, having played Basketball at a high level in my teenage years. I am very well adjusted to other sports and love being outside. I am a very neat person, and typically always tend to clean up in my spare time regardless of the necessity! A fun fact of mine is that I have three older triplet siblings aged 32, so I became an Aunty to 5 kids pretty quickly! I have always loved looking after my nephews and niece from watching movies, playing at the park, taking them shopping, and other little adventures. I am really easy going and will always put children and their safety first. In particular, a lot of my hands-on childcare experience came through helping my brother who is a single parent. Over the years, I’ve regularly cared for my niece, which has deepened my love for helping families. This experience has inspired me to support other parents who need an extra hand, and I truly value the connections I build with the families I work with. It’s incredibly rewarding to know I’m making a positive difference in their lives. I have worked with the same family through another agency (Peas in a Pod) for the past 2/3 years, initially during the week and weekends, now it is just Saturdays. (Experience includes: pickup/drop-off to and from school, light housework duties including laundry, kitchen tidiness, unloading dishwasher/putting away, clean-up after kids, make kids beds and ensure room is tidy, take kids to activities and usually join in myself, lots of at-home activities, putting to bed, getting them ready for school etc.,) My Mum is also a teacher for children who experience learning difficulties and/or struggle with certain disabilities, so I have learned a lot from her when it comes to education and homework-help. Thanks for reading and I hope to chat soon! :)

Hi! I’m a 19 year old who absolutely loves spending time with children and making sure they feel safe, happy, and supported. I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Animal and Veterinary Biosciences with the dream of becoming a vet — caring for both animals and people has always been such a big part of who I am. I have even fostered multiple litters of kittens through the RSPCA, which was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. I have spent time doing work experience at a childcare centre, where I looked after children of different ages, joined in on games and creative activities, reading to them, outside play, and keeping things tidy and organised. Getting to observe the childcare educators and how they interact with the children taught me valuable skills and insights into supporting kids in a positive and caring way. It really showed me how much I enjoy spending time with children and that this is something I really would love to be doing day to day. I have my P2 driver’s licence and my own car, so school/daycare drop-offs, pick-ups, and outings are no problem. I’m also happy to help around the house with cooking, light cleaning, or anything else that makes life a little easier for your family. My university schedule is quite flexible during the week, and I’m also available on weekends. I’m reliable, caring, and always bring a positive attitude. I’d love the chance to get to know your family and be someone you can trust to look after your children!!

Hi I am Nisi, I’m a proud mother of two wonderful boys and have nearly 20 years of experience working with children, from newborns up to 11 years old. Caring for children has always been more than just a job to me — it’s a true passion. I genuinely believe that every day spent with children is a day of learning, laughter, and connection. Working with kids brings me a deep sense of purpose and self-awareness. I find so much joy in supporting their growth — whether it’s physical, emotional, social, or cognitive. Watching a child learn, smile, and thrive is the most rewarding part of what I do. I understand how important it is for parents to feel safe and confident leaving their precious little ones in someone else’s care. That trust means everything to me. When a family feels secure and supported, and their children are happy and well cared for, I feel I’ve done my job well.
