Babysitters in Upper Ferntree Gully, VIC

Hi, I’m Gabby! With a background in teaching, gymnastics coaching, and a passion for supporting kids of all abilities, I bring energy, creativity, and adaptability to every childcare setting. I’m currently completing my Cert III in Individual Support and hold Cert II in both Auslan and Early Childhood Education. I’ve completed placements in childcare centres, worked one-on-one and with groups, and supported neurodivergent kids. My approach is child-led, encouraging curiosity, communication, and independence through fun, engaging activities. My skills transfer easily between jobs—and I’m eager to keep learning! I’m all about creating safe, positive spaces where kids can grow and thrive. I’d love the chance to bring my energy and care to your family while growing my experience along the way.

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.

Hello! I am a 21 year old who works as a nanny full time with children aged 6 months - 12 years old and lives in Ringwood East. Outside of work I love to dance (ballet), go on walks with my dog Pippy and hang out with my 4 younger siblings (3 step siblings and 1 biological sister). I have completed my Cert 3 in Early Childhood Education in August 2024 and have been working as a dance teacher from the age of 15-20 and a baby sitter from the ages of 15-17 and now would love to revisit it with all the new knowledge I have gained working in the ECE industry. I have worked alongside children aged 4 months - 2 years as well as 3-5 year olds in the centre I work in as well as taught kids from 3-12 year olds at my ballet school so I feel well equipped to support a wide range of children as well as more then one at once.

I am a very caring, experienced babysitter- mother of 2 grown children, 3 grandchildren, have babysat friends' children, and have had a lot of work through a Babysitting agency.I am especially requested by all families I have babysat for.I have experience ages baby- teens. I have taught 3yr/4yr, Prep- Yr6 for 27 years and have also been a dance teacher toddler- adult for over 40 yrs. I am passionate, energetic, reliable and would love the opportunity to look after your children with great care!I am fully vaccinated.

I am a single mother of a sixteen year old boy, myself. My alternate stream/(s) of income predominantly involve the instruction and assessment of swimming and water safety skills; first aid; resuscitation/CPR; lifesaving skills; advanced aquatic rescue techniques; and, self-defence. With the majority of those students, being children aged between six months and sixteen years of age. I additionally, also facilitate and run, professional development training courses alongside some Lifeguarding roles. Other relevant previous roles I've held, include being a Voluntary Children's Football/Soccer Coach; Volunteer Lifesaving Patroller, Training and Development Director and Mentor for Nippers and Teens for a Life Saving Club; a Children's Party Host; and have occasionally held science "fun lab" and Martial Arts demonstrations for school students at varying levels and certain community events. I am experienced and comfortable working with, and around children of all ages. Many of which, having had different cultural/religious/ethnical/economical/educational backgrounds, lifestyles and abilities. My experience also includes the successful provision of education/instruction, supervision and guidance of children with physical/medical/intellectual/psychosocial disabilities, learning difficulties, mental illness and those on different levels of the autism spectrum, and even overcoming (to a degree) language barriers over the years spent in the above roles striving to assist every child and their parents being able to set and focus on continuously working towards attaining their own, realistically achievable, short/long-term goals over time. I feel that it is important for children to experience the joy and sense of accomplishment, having actively put in the effort required to achieve each of these goals. I believe it is not only beneficial to the child physically/psychologically/mentally, but have also found it can provide their parents/caregivers with a little bit of comfort and more peace of mind, knowing that with every goal achieved - and the effort applied in doing so, carries with it, an expansion of their child's future potential, and opportunities that await them in years to come.

Hi there 😊 Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I genuinely love spending time with children, and I've worked with all ages. From newborns to teenagers. I've had a lot of experience with babies and toddlers so I'm very comfortable and confident with feeding, bathing, changing, and bedtime routines. I also have experience with twins and with using responsive settling to help resolve sleeping issues, so if you're struggling at night or need an extra hand in those early stages, please reach out. My style is warm hearted, kind, patient, nurturing and loving. I practice meditation and mindfulness which flows through to my work and allows me to maintain peace and calm when faced with challenges. I am encouraging and enthusiastic with children, which allows them to blossom and shine in their own unique ways. I love being outdoors and an average day with me usually includes a walk to the local park, nature reserve, cafe, or at the very least a run around the backyard. I also enjoy outings to the Collingwood Children's Farm, Scienceworks, the Museum, the local Library and many more adventures when time permits. I've worked as an au pair in France, a volunteer teacher in Nepal, and a nanny and babysitter in Melbourne. I have a reliable car, I'm willing to travel and I can provide reliable references. *I have been first aid trained for nearly 20 years now and will be updating my certificate soon* Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you and wish you all the best in finding that perfect nanny or babysitter to suit your family.

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! :)
