Nannies in Balaclava, VIC

I’ve worked with children for over 5 years and have spent the last 3 years as a nanny for the same wonderful family. I have an incredible relationship with them all, and it’s truly been a joy to become part of their lives. I also share a beautiful, loving bond with their daughter, who’s now 3.5 — watching her grow from a baby into the little girl she is today has honestly been one of the greatest pleasures of my life. I’m highly experienced, but beyond that, I genuinely love what I do. Creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children to grow and thrive is something I take a lot of pride in. I have found I've become best friends with the children and importantly families I've worked for over the years.

Hi! my names Summer and I'm 18 years old currently deferred for a year from studying my Bachelor of Music at JMC! I am the youngest of 4 children with many young cousins whom I help to babysit/take care of. I have a Montessori Primary school education and recently graduated from Prahran High School last year. I am creative, adaptable, and absolutely adore being around children and caring for them!

Hey there, My name is Chloe and I've been nannying/babysitting for many years around the Bayside area. I nannied full-time for two seperate families between June 2017 and August 2019 whilst completing my undergraduate studies, and have babysat for various families in the area since 2016. I grew up in a big extended family (on both sides), and have always been surrounded by kids, toddlers and babies. I studied Nursing/Midwifery for a year after school, and whilst this wasn't the career for me in the end, I learnt a great deal in that year. I'm still very interested in childhood development and love getting to know kids of all ages; I think they can teach you great perspective and how to enjoy the little things in life. I also became an Auntie in 2023 and have been helping my brother and SIL out with the little one, so I’m very comfortable with babies now! My gorgeous niece is now 18 months old :) I'm also involved in a school tutoring program for children living in the Collingwood and Richmond commission housing through Operation Stitches and am finding this extremely rewarding to be a part of. I tutor two Year 6 kids and it's been fantastic to watch them grow in both confidence and skills throughout the school year. A bit about me - I love to get out in nature as much as possible, enjoy gardening and tending to my ridiculous amount of indoor plants! I'm a huge animal lover, and volunteer with a rescue organisation which I absolutely love; they have a farm sanctuary in the Yarra Valley which I try to get to once a fortnight. I also love to cook, head on walks with my 6 yo dog and I certainly get around a board game! Regarding my availability, I work 5 days a week in corporate sustainability - so I'm only available at night time and on the weekends. I have a WWCC, Police Check and First Aid and am happy to provide all of this to you if you'd like. I can also provide you with references, both current and past families. Feel free to get in touch! Thanks, Chloe

I’m a 19-year-old nursing student with over five years of babysitting experience.

I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I’m confident in managing routines, settling kids, and creating a fun and safe environment. My nursing studies have also strengthened my understanding of health, safety, and child development.

Hi, I’m Lara! I’m 24 and originally from Ireland, and I’ve been living in Australia for the past year and a half.

I’ve spent lots of time caring for children of all ages and truly love creating a fun, nurturing space where they can learn, grow, and just be themselves.

I moved from my hometown of Echuca in 2023 and have been living in Melbourne since then. Some of my hobbies include Tennis, Water skiing, Running, the Arts and watching Movies. I’m a dedicated and experienced babysitter with a diverse background in working with children. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of babysitting for multiple families, including those with children who have intellectual disabilities, providing a safe and nurturing environment tailored to each child's needs. Additionally, I’ve spent 7 years teaching dance to children aged 4-12, which has helped me develop strong communication skills, creativity, and the ability to engage children in fun, meaningful activities. I currently work at Caulfield Grammar with their after-school care programs, where I have honed my ability to manage groups, assist with homework, and create a positive, structured environment. Some of the skills that make me a great fit for babysitting include patience, adaptability, excellent problem-solving abilities, and a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and have fun. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family!

Hello, I am a 19 year old student currently in a gap year before going to university for A Bachelor of Art majoring in film.

I really enjoy taking care of and working with children as it is an incredible way to learn from younger generations and to build skills in organisation, communication and empathy. I find childcare to be one of the most fulfilling forms of work as you can build connections with families through support of one another and a mutual desire to keep your children healthy, safe and curious!
