Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

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.

My names Emma. I am 19 years old and currently looking for fun ways to earn money to support myself during my studies. I've always loved children, and I've volunteered to sit for friends and family whenever I can. I mostly have experience with children 8 and upwards, but I also have experience with young family members. DUring high school I was a college leader, which gave me oppurtunities to work with the younger year levels, participate in activities with them and help them with schoolwork. I currently have another job, plus university, but depending on where you live I can do most mornings.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi I'm Elida! I am a 19 year-old university student and I am seeking casual/part time babysitting work whilst I complete my Bachelor in Early Childhood and Primary Education. Looking after children has always been a prominent part of my life as I have been babysitting casually in the last 5 years and have been an OSHC educator for over a year now. I have a very interactive, nurturing approach to looking after children. Whether that includes identifying when kids need help learning something new, working through any big emotions or playing games with them - building meaningful relationships with children is very important to me as an educator since I am always willing to put in that extra effort to fully participate in any hobbies or activities they enjoy. Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting your family soon! :)

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

Hi lovely families 🩷 I’m a caring, bubbly and super nurturing nanny based in Melbourne, with over 2 years of hands-on experience looking after little ones from 5 months to 8 years. I’ve been lucky enough to work closely with beautiful families — including caring for two boys from newborn into toddler years, and most recently being full-time with three gorgeous kids aged 4, 5 and 7. I’m confident with all parts of daily routines — feeds, naps, bath time, school/kindy drop-offs, and creating fun, engaging days filled with crafts, outdoor play, and little adventures. I truly love being a calm, happy presence for children and building strong, loving bonds with them as they grow 🫶🏼 I’m also more than happy to help around the home — whether that’s cooking meals, tidying, laundry or keeping everything feeling fresh and organised. My goal is always to make your life easier while creating a safe, fun and nurturing space for your little one. A little bit about me — I’m a total pink lover, love cooking (especially a good homemade pasta 🍝), keeping things clean and cosy, and bringing a really positive, gentle energy into every home I’m in. I have my own car and am very reliable and flexible. I’m really hoping to find a long-term family to grow with and be a special part of your little one’s world 💗✨
