Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hello Parents! I’m a very experienced nanny with over 10 dedicated years of supporting families raise their children from newborn to early childhood. My approach is a beautiful balance of nurture and education, and I also hold a Level 4 OCN Maternity Practitioner Certificate. I have worked with a diverse range of families, including supporting children with special needs and working alongside specialist professionals to assist in their development, as well as providing parents with guidance surrounding infant sleep, and daily rhythms. I'm well-versed in: - establishing day time routines that encompass milk feeds, food, sleep, and play - supporting baby/toddler development through education based learning, reading, sensory play, song, and child-led discovery. I offer elevated, Montessori-aligned care that honours each child’s natural rhythm and need for calm, connection, and independence. My approach prioritises health, well-being, outdoor time, and a screen-free environment where babies and toddlers feel safe and respected, whilst building a strong, trusting partnership with parents. I have devoted the last 3.5 years to raising my own little one, and am now offering my help to families once again. If this sounds like the kind of support your family is looking for or you’d like to chat about what works best for you please feel welcome to reach out. Warmly, Kleo

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi, my name is Savannah! I currently work as a Medical Receptionist, where I manage a busy front desk and support patients and staff in a caring and professional way. I have also worked as a Disability Support Worker for over four years, supporting children, teens, and adults. This experience has strengthened my patience, empathy, and ability to build genuine trust, and I am very confident in my ability to provide a safe and supportive environment. My mum also works as a nanny, and after helping her, I realised how much I love caring for children and being part of their growth and development. I am naturally nurturing, reliable, and organised, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive space for children to learn and feel supported. While I’m studying, I am looking to move into nannying as it aligns perfectly with my love for helping others and my warm, hands-on approach to care. My background in support work, healthcare, and administration has given me the maturity, strong communication skills, and responsibility needed to provide high-quality care to families. On my days off, you’ll usually find me spending time with my mum and sister or heading out for a scenic walk with my dog. I love staying active and enjoy being outdoors whenever I can.

Looking for: Full-time,Part-time,Casual Babysitting,Au Pair

Hi, I’m Zaira, a caregiver with a deep love for children As the eldest of six children, caring for others has always been a big part of my life. From a young age, I naturally stepped into a role of responsibility, helping to look after my siblings, cousins, and extended family while our parents worked. Growing up in Africa, that kind of support within the family is second nature — it’s how we’re raised, and it’s something I’ve always taken pride in. After moving to Australia, that same love for caring didn’t change. I’ve looked after my neighbour’s daughter, and most memorably, a beautiful baby girl named Maya. I began caring for her when she was just three months old, and stayed with her until she turned one. She became like family to me, and being part of her early milestones, from her first smile to her first steps, was incredibly special. Working with children brings me real joy. I love watching their personalities grow, listening to their little stories, and being someone they feel safe and happy around. I’ve always been known for being patient, gentle, and reliable whether it’s keeping routines in place, helping with learning and play, or simply offering comfort when it’s needed most. Looking after children isn’t just something I do. It’s something I genuinely care about. Every child deserves to feel loved, supported, and understood, and I always aim to create that kind of space when I’m with them. I’m grateful for every opportunity to be part of a child’s life and to support families in whatever way I can.
