Babysitters in Travancore, VIC

I am a responsible, caring, and reliable nanny who acts not only as a caregiver but also as a friend, mentor, and supportive figure—like an older sister. With over a year of childcare experience and two years tutoring students, I help children thrive through structured learning and play. I love staying active through rowing and Pilates, enjoy cooking, and am house-proud, ensuring a positive, organized environment. Equipped with a Working with Children Check (WWCC), I bring patience, multitasking skills, and problem-solving abilities to every role, fostering meaningful connections with children and families alike.

Hi Parents! I'm Joanna. Originally from the UK & have been living in Melbourne for 14 years. I absolutely love spending time with children, they bring lots of laughter & joy. I’m friendly, patient and energetic. Left my corporate job in Sales 6 years ago, to pursue working with children. Worked as a full-time nanny since and never looked back! I would love to build relationships with parents & children and get to know each other on a long term basis 😊

Hi I’m Amelia and I have been babysitting part time, and then full time during school holidays for children between 6 months old and 15 years old for 5 years. I have tutored, prepared meals, snacks, and organized craft activities and day outings. I love spending time with kids and am bubbly, fun and trustworthy (also love animals).

Hi! I love working with children and have a few years experience. I have been babysitting families, cousins and family friends since I was 15. Last year I worked full time in a school in the UK as a teachers assistant and sport's coach which I loved! I have just moved to Melbourne and started University and am missing my old job and working with children, so I am looking forward to start babysitting. To add, I am one of 5 children with three younger sisters so I grew up looking after them which has helped me a lot in this field. Please don’t hesitate to ask me further about my experience working with children, for references and my character :)

Hi, my name is Jasi and I am 23 years old. I love looking after children and have been babysitting for over 7 years. I’ve looked after kids between the ages of 8 months - 14 years. I believe that I am caring, fun and reliable. I also enjoy cooking and cleaning, so helping out around the house will not be an issue! I always ensure that above everything, your children's safety is my priority. I'm looking to start around Feb/March next year! Review from a parent: “We have used Jasi for many years to babysit our three children. She is warm, caring and reliable.

Hi there! I'm Karla, I've been nannying and babysitting for nearly a decade. I hold an arts degree and a Masters of Theatre. I currently work one day a week for a beautiful family with ann eight year old and nine year old and have been with them for the past nine years. I also work part time in arts administration. I love getting to know a family, and developing meaningful connections with both children and parents. I find nannying to be incredibly rewarding. I also have experience tutoring both primary and secondary aged students in english and literature. I believe a nanny should be active, engaging and in tune with the children in their care. I make an effort to regularly plan outings and activities. I often incorporate art and theatre as they are my passions. I am also more than happy to do some light cooking and cleaning. I have current references and a working with children's check.

Hello! My name is Freya, and i am 19 years old! I am studying at Melbourne University and currently live on campus in Parkville.

Hi, I’m Ellie! I am currently studying Commerce at the University of Melbourne. I balance my academic commitments with part-time work and community involvement, including coaching and leadership roles. I have a wealth of experience working with kids (over 5 years babysitting experience) from coaching young rowers to volunteering at local community events. I also love spending time outdoors and keeping active, so I’m always happy to organise fun and engaging activities for children, whether it’s a park trip, crafting, or simply reading together. I have experience working in a variety of environments and can confidently handle different responsibilities, from supervising playtime to helping with homework. Additionally, I’m pet-friendly—having grown up with dogs myself—so I can easily manage homes with pets too. With a strong focus on safety, reliability, and creating a nurturing environment, I’d love the opportunity to care for your children and ensure they have a fun, safe, and happy experience

Hello, my name is Lucy! I moved to Melbourne last year from QLD to study midwifery. I am now in my second year and am extremely passionate about women’s health and babies. I have met a beautiful group of friends in Melbourne, and in my spare time I enjoy going to Pilates and getting coffee with my friends! I have been babysitting since I was 15yrs old, looking after children in QLD. I became close with a family and regularly looked after their 2 girls, who are now 6 and 8year old. Since moving to Melbourne, I have connected with a few families and have been a regular nanny for an 11 month old - who I have developed a beautiful relationship with! I am experienced with nappy change/feeding/settling babies, and having now completed 3 midwifery placements, am competent looking after babies from newborn onwards. I also love looking after older children, and playing at the park/baking/going for hot choccies! I am a netballer, so love playing with a ball.

Hi there Mums & Dads.... I am your Mary Poppins!! After working for a family for just over 3 years their little one is going to preschool in 2024. I now have an opening to join a new family and welcome interest from anyone looking for commitment, kindness, nurturing and success. I love children and have looked after them across many stages of my whole life, as a local babysitter since I was 14 years old. 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 age. Keeping a child calm and happy is important and to have skills that remove the stress or anxiety is about the energy from the babysitter as well. To become relaxed and connected/engaged with a mature age babysitter can offer great comfort to any child. The love will always be there. I recently completed working with 3 children 5-6 days a week with their mother. Two children has special needs. In a short 8 months I was able to create new routines and boundaries that all three children, as well as both parents and four grandparents all had enormous benefits from and still implement these routines. I have a love relationship with this family. The mother is really eager to be a phone reference for me to share her experience with anyone who would like to consider employing me. I was a children's swimming coach when I was in my 30's and in the last 3 years also worked with children, as a club netball coach too. In the last 12 months I have been looking after two children under 5. I did this for free because I wanted to have a life with children aside and after two successful careers. Now that I am a child's book author, I want to be around them more. I learn from them while they are cared for by me. From breakfast through to dinner and bed time this year, I was able to develop an emotional bond with both children. We laugh a lot. I understand their behavior patterns as they grow through different stages. I've been an Aunt for nearly 20 years but they've grown up. I've been a guardian to my best friends children but they live interstate. I love getting to know each individual child and creating engagement with them and their particular interests. Sharing interests is a great start to building confidence within the child's self esteem. I want my life to also support young parents too. Being a parent can be a relentless experience when life throws up other challenges. I would be a great match with parents that have set routines and ethical structure for their children to learn within. I wouldn't be a good match for families that don't create boundaries to learn within and have structured routines to give them definition and security in their day. It's always going to be about the child and their daily development. They grow up so fast and each year has an impact on developing them into young adults. Additionally I live a very honest ethical life and hold strong to this personal philosophy. I have lived a life of integrity. I am extremely reliable and punctual as I understand leadership on many levels and the need to support people who are also learning in new areas in life and in their jobs. It has developed a deep level of understanding within me. I have my own car so collecting and driving to and from activities is a usual step for me. I just need children car seats to borrow for safety in travel etc. I am regularly available for Ad Hoc babysitting including weeknights and weekends.

I have 3 years previous babysitting experience (references available), currently babysitting with another family,  but looking for a second job.  I also have WWC & Police Clearance. Despite being a male (!) I have great rapport with kids. I'm easy going, though at the same time, I'm very aware of manners, positive reinforcement and being a role model plus not treating them as kids (if that makes sense).  My responsible, nurturing and energetic personality has allowed me to build very strong and continuous relationships with past children that I have babysat. Never smoked/dont drink, interests are sport, taught Karate for 12 years, play tennis, pretty good cook & learning Japanese. I have very flexible roster x 7 days & available on short notice when needed.

I am medical student at the University of Melbourne, studying full-time and completing placement. I absolutely love kids and would love some part-time babysitting work! I'm an enthusiastic and warm student who can also tutor, cook and clean if needed. I have tutored various students in Chemistry, Literature, Philosophy, and Psychology at a high school level (yr 11 & 12). I worked for 5 years as a gymnastics coach at Melbourne Gymnastics Center (hawthorn) teaching kids ages 3-15. I have also worked in a paediatric neuropsychology clinic (2023). I have babysat for lots of families with kids of various ages, including on the mornington peninsula and hawthorn, including babies. I have a WWCC, CPR and First-Aid certificates, and significant experience working with kids of all abilities and ages.
