Babysitters in Thornbury, VIC

Hi, I’m Amber! I recently left full-time work in health and international development to focus on my passion for creative writing and young adult literature, which I’m now studying full-time. Babysitting is a natural fit alongside my studies—I love spending time with kids and creating a calm, fun space where they feel comfortable and happy. I occasionally care for my 8-month-old godson, and growing up in Perth I often babysat for extended family and worked in a daycare during my teens. I have a current Working With Children Check (complete with Police Check) and completed First Aid training in 2021—I'm happy to renew it if required. I'm warm, dependable, and playful—I love reading stories and getting creative with games. I'm equally happy to just be around before/after school to make sure everything runs smoothly. At the moment, I’m looking for part-time work that fits around my full-time study load (around 30 hours per week). Ideally I’m aiming for up to 15 hours of paid work per week, but I’m very flexible—particularly on weekdays and during school or uni holidays when my schedule opens up. I’m always happy to chat about what might work for your family. I’m happy to help with light tidying up and cleaning—like putting away toys, washing dishes, or wiping surfaces—but I don’t do extensive house cleaning.

Hi! I’m a bubbly, fun-loving person. I absolutely adore kids and have had the joy of not only working with children professionally but also spending loads of quality time with my two gorgeous nephews.. I'm often told I have a natural way with kids and connect with them easily. I’m looking to earn a little extra cash doing something I love—caring for children! Also happy to care for pets too. I'm reliable, nurturing, and always up for a game and some fun. I’d love to help out with your little ones!

Hi Everyone! I'm an experienced childcare worker who loves children. I’m currently seeking part time daytime work with newborns - toddlers as this is my specialty. I've had experience with private nannying/babysitting, daycare centres and teaching overseas at ESL schools. I’m comfortable with a number of kids at once if you have older school aged kids which also need care. I feel privileged to work with beautiful little children and I take my work seriously. Looking forward to meeting you!

Having raised 3 boys as a single mum who are now 3 wonderful young men, all now grown up and independent, and having also been house-proud, maintaining a lovely clean home and sanctuary, I've thought to offer my services as a nanny or household help. Non-smoker, healthy and fit, appreciative of a nature and environment, loving to do everything without harming the environment, try to avoid using screens wherever possible. I have a mobile phone with no active account on it, which can still be used to call emergency. That's important! Looking forward to hearing from a family that's local and we can chat further!
