Babysitters in Toorak, VIC

Hey Family, My name is Cynthia, I’m 26 years old and I’ve been living in Melbourne for the past 11 months. For nine of those months, I worked as an au pair, caring for a three-year-old boy and a five-year-old girl. During my time as an au pair, I was responsible for getting the children ready in the mornings, preparing meals and lunchboxes, doing school and kindergarten pick-ups, planning activities, and supporting their evening routine, including bath time and putting them to bed. I became very confident managing daily routines and creating a structured but loving environment. I truly love spending time with children. I enjoy being outdoors with them — going to playgrounds, exploring nature, playing soccer, or simply going for walks. I also love doing creative activities like painting, crafting, and building things together. For me, it’s important that children feel safe, understood, and happy, while also having fun and learning through play. I would describe myself as warm, patient, responsible, and reliable. I build strong bonds with children and genuinely care about their wellbeing and development. I am also flexible and always happy to support families where needed. I would absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your children and see if we are a good fit. Looking forward to hearing from you! Kind regards, Cynthia

Hello Families, I am a warm, caring, and reliable nanny with over 15 years of experience caring for children from infancy to school age. As a Diploma-qualified Early Childhood Educator, I have worked in both long day care and private nanny roles, giving me a strong understanding of child development as well as the unique needs of individual families. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore the world around them. I enjoy creating engaging, play-based experiences that support children's social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Whether it's sensory play, arts and crafts, music, reading, baking, outdoor adventures, or visits to parks, libraries, and playgroups, I love tailoring activities to each child's interests, abilities, and stage of development. Throughout my career, I have cared for newborns, infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged children. I am confident supporting daily routines, including feeding, sleep, toileting, school and kindergarten drop-offs and pick-ups, homework support, and helping children develop independence through everyday learning opportunities. I also have experience supporting children with additional needs, including Autism, ADHD, hearing loss, Global Developmental Delay, sensory processing differences, and emotional regulation challenges, and I am committed to providing inclusive, individualised care. Building strong, trusting relationships with children and their families is one of the most rewarding parts of being a nanny. I value open communication, consistency, and working in partnership with parents to ensure children feel secure, confident, and well supported. I pride myself on being calm, dependable, and someone families can trust. I hold a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care, a current Working with Children Check, Police Check, and current First Aid, CPR, Asthma, and Anaphylaxis certifications. I am committed to ongoing professional development and maintaining the highest standards of care and safety. My minimum rate is **$40 per hour**. As a self-employed nanny, this rate includes my superannuation, tax obligations, and insurance, which I manage independently. It reflects my qualifications, extensive experience, ongoing professional development, and commitment to providing safe, reliable, and high-quality care. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a warm, nurturing environment where your children feel happy, secure, and encouraged to learn, grow, and thrive. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi there! My name is Brydie-Leigh, I am 21 years old, I was born and raised on the Gold Coast and was studying a Bachelor of Veterinary Science at The University of Queensland until I recently moved to Melbourne to embark on an exciting new journey in my life - I am now studying a Bachelor of Biomedicine at the University of Melbourne. I absolutely adore everything about babysitting, from the laughter and joy of playtime to the moments of comfort and care when they need a reassuring hug. I understand how important it is to create a warm, friendly environment for kids so my goal is always to make sure your children feel comfortable and happy, so they look forward to spending time with their babysitter, rather than dreading their parents departure. Building a strong, trusting relationship with each child is really important to me, and I'm extremely focused on fostering a safe, fun, and supportive space where your kids can feel right at home. I also ran a tutoring business of my own so I am capable of assisting in tutoring activities after school included in babysitting. I have references to provide also.

I have done some voluntary work for Single Family camps creating programs for children at these camps & I was responsible for keeping babies, toddlers & even teens occupied while giving Mum or Dad some much needed respite. This was a fantastic experience & I resided at these 5 day camps solely to help out with the other camp leaders in a Voluntary capacity.
