Babysitters in West Melbourne, VIC

Hi! I’m looking to do some childcare while working casually! I love kids and have so much fun taking care of them! I have lots of experience babysitting as well as watching my sister, my cousins, and all their friends when they were growing up. I'm also a dancer + cheerleader and have had experience helping and teaching younger kids in dance classes. I love playing games, reading stories, and doing whatever the kids want to do. I'm comfortable helping with homework, making snacks and meals, taking care of pets, light cleaning, etc. I am reliable, responsible, organized, and value good communication. I moved to Australia from the US for uni and love it so much ive decided to stay! I’m also a personal trainer so my avaliability may vary a bit but I am pretty flexible! I dont have a car but do have my full licence. Can do early mornings/late nights as well. Thank you!

I’m a 24-year-old from Hungary who is easy-going, kind, and enjoys spending time with children and seeing the world through their eyes. I’m moving to Australia for a year on a Working Holiday visa, and becoming an Au Pair or nanny feels like the perfect way to start my journey while supporting a family. I’ve worked as a camp counsellor in the United States with children aged 6–13, cared for my younger sister and cousins, and volunteered with a non-profit organization where I organized games, crafts, and activities for kids. These experiences have taught me to be patient, responsible, and adaptable. I can’t wait to bring my positive and caring attitude to your family while exploring life in Australia! :)

Hello, I am a fully insured, qualified and experienced early childhood and primary school educator. In 2024 I worked at an outback station as a live-in governess teaching and caring for three children under 6 years old full-time. I am skilled at creating imaginative play-based and physical activities for children and helping build their self-confidence and resilience. I believe that being outside and interacting with nature and the community is an important part of childhood development (as is routine and healthy food!)

Hi there Mums & Dads.... I am your Mary Poppins!! I currently look after a few families however my calendar has opened for a new family in 2025. I commit to long hour and long term commitment for the year with all of my families. It's important. Currently I cover ages 8 months, 12 months, 2.5 years, 4.5 years and 9 & 11 years olds. I understand the variety of changing developments in children and adapt to these needs. I love children and have looked after them across many stages of my entire life, as a local babysitter since I was 14 years old and up until now as a professional nanny for parents who are doctors, solicitors, engineers, school teachers, marketing specialist and even a CEO. 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 human development, of which I have covered extensively. Keeping a child calm and happy is important and to have skills that remove the stress and anxiety is about the energy from the nanny/babysitter. To become relaxed and connected/engaged with a mature age carer can offer great comfort to any child. The love will always be there. I follow routines and set boundaries, (initiated from the parents) for all children because it creates security and trust with them. I participate in both home and outdoor activities and excursions. I can drive my own car (petrol charges incur) or use any parents' cars. I cover household cleaning (light house work: all things kids mess, upkeep where possible in the laundry area, keep kitchen clean) to take the burden away from parents so they can come home to a cleaner environment than perhaps they left it. This is always discussed in detail for any family because I am not a 'house cleaner' I am a Nanny. I am extremely reliable and punctual to enable all parents to relax knowing I will always be there for them. I look forward to hearing from you. Nanny Clare
