Babysitters in Thornbury, VIC

Hello! I have always been drawn to the joy and energy that is found in working with children. I have 8+ years of experience babysitting and nannying for children of all ages and feel very confident in my abilities. Following the successful completion of my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care, I accepted a job in a childcare centre. During the past three years, I have had the privilege of gaining invaluable hands-on experience in the field of childcare. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of child development but has also honed my ability to create an enriching and nurturing environment for children. I am committed to empowering children and creating a safe and engaging space for them to explore, learn and grow. I also have found that my background in professional dance has allowed me to connect with children on a unique level through creativity and movement. Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Hi there! I am currently 22 years old, living independently in thornbury and have just graduated from RMIT (in 2023) studying a bachelor of criminology and psychology. I am currently looking for casual babysitting opportunities before I start looking for roles in my future career (in 2025/2026). I have previously looked after a family with 3 kids (aged 8-13) in 2022, and currently nannying for a family with 2 kids aged 10 & 11. I have also had many casual babysitting opportunities looking after toddlers and tweens. I have limited experience working with children under the age of 1. I can provide references for these experiences :) I am after work that is rewarding, and allows me to form greater connections to those that I am helping. My aspiration is to work in a counselling or case management setting that works with families and youth/children in the system. I have previously worked in a psychologist’s office where I assisted children with additional needs in their activities, and sat into occupational therapy sessions. I hope to bring the things I have learnt in this role with me! I am also an experienced pet sitter and dog walker, so I would be happy to help out with any pets as well. I am fully vaccinated (up to date boosters as well), have a WWCC, a police check issued in march of 2023, and will be fully licensed in october 2024.

Hi there! I'm Electra, and I recently graduated from Oxford University with a Bachelor's in Economics and Management. I've been casually babysitting and nannying since I was 16, and I absolutely love working with children. My approach to childcare is comprehensive, drawing on my extensive experience in nannying, tutoring, and first aid. Over the past five years, I’ve tutored various subjects at both the primary and secondary school levels. I’m passionate about helping kids with their daily homework and any challenging concepts they might be struggling with at school, as I believe it's crucial for them to feel confident in their abilities. Recognising that a child's home is a significant part of their world, I’m dedicated to assisting with household management, including cleaning, decluttering, laundry, and other duties, to ensure their environment is as comfortable as possible. Food plays a vital role in both happiness and health. I enjoy cooking and strive to make mealtimes special by preparing nutritious meals and engaging in meaningful conversations over dinner. Safety is my top priority. During my five-year tenure as an Assistant Age Manager at my local surf lifesaving club, I taught ocean safety skills to children of all ages and earned several first aid qualifications. I was honored to be named Assistant Age Manager of the Year in 2019. I also enjoy collaborating with parents to establish consistent rules and boundaries within the family unit, creating an environment of trust, love, support, and stability for your children. Together, we can ensure a nurturing and secure atmosphere for your family.

Hello parents! I'm Kelly, a 38-year-old who's got a blend of wisdom and childlike wonder, available for casual babysitting. I am a regular ad hoc babysitter for multiple families across Fitzroy, Thornbury, Preston, and Brunswick East, with kids aged 1 to 11 years old. I am also a regular babysitter for my 3yo niece, who never fails to fill my heart with happiness as she explores the world. Babysitting is a joy, filled with crafts, playgrounds, Disney movies, baking sessions, bike rides, science experiments, and story time. I enjoy cooking and often prepare nourishing meals for the kids. Although my main focus is on giving the kids my full care and attention, I might have time to whip up a meal for parents as well. Warmth, authenticity, and nurturing are my go-tos. I'm all about fostering creativity and curiosity, making every moment a blend of fun and learning. Kids have this incredible knack for reminding us of life's simple joys, and I find that truly inspiring. While I work full-time from 9 am to 5 pm, I operate from home on Fridays, so offer flexible support on that day, and most evenings and weekends are also open. I am excited about the opportunity to connect with you and your children, creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for their growth and happiness. Looking forward to speaking with you soon! 😊
