Hello! My name is Freya, and i am 19 years old! I am studying at Melbourne University and currently live on campus in Parkville. I have always adored children, and thanks to my outgoing nature, i always find it easy to connect with young children through fun activities and games. I'm always looking for a bit of fun, but i am always responsible. I'd love to make a difference in a young child's life, however small this difference may be. I know how much of an impact my babysitters had on me when i was young, and i hope to create an equally positive environment for the children i babysit.

I’m Remy Locke, a 21-year-old Bachelor of Science student at The University of Melbourne. I’ve balanced study with work in retail, hospitality, and events, which has made me reliable, organised, and great with people. I’ve lived independently in both Melbourne and abroad, including six months on exchange in Copenhagen. I’m active, responsible, and love being around kids. I was Vice-Captain of my school soccer team and enjoy long walks, Pilates, and team sports. I value clear communication, kindness, and keeping things fun—qualities I bring to every babysitting role. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

I'm a happy, kind, open-minded, nature-loving person, that's me! I have experience as a babysitter, especially from taking care of my little brother from the day he was born until he turned 11. I cooked meals, picked him up from school, played with him, and helped with his homework. Many times, I also looked after him and his friends as we used to play together at the playground or enjoy sports. I also have an experience taking care of a 1 year-old toddler during her parents are away. I love singing, playing the guitar or ukulele, and drawing beautiful nature scenes. To me, kids are wonderful little creators. I really enjoy playing with them, coming up with fun games, and watching how they express their ideas. With the experience I have, I can give parents peace of mind, knowing their children are safe, happy and free to be creative every time we are together!
