Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

I have a soft spot for children and a genuine passion to care for them. Coming from a big family, I always find myself in situations where I am responsible for the care of others. This has taught me how to be responsible and shaped me into the person I am today, and I am forever grateful to them for that. I love art and being creative, as well as being outdoors, and finding fun in every situation. I want your children to feel comfortable and happy but above all, I prioritise their safety. I believe in open communication and collaboration with parents to ensure a positive experience for everyone. I am comfortable with light housekeeping and a massive foodie, so happy to whip up some yummy, healthy meals for the little ones! I pride myself on being dependable and punctual, so you can have peace of mind. I have my drivers license and I live locally so am available on short notice! If interested, I can provide references on request. I understand the importance of finding someone trustworthy and caring to look after your precious ones and I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and provide a wonderful babysitting experience!

Hey there! My name is Mel. I'm an educator in the performing arts, with a passion for music, theatre, and learning and have +10 years of experience in childcare, nannying and babysitting. I'm a performer and teacher by trade, with qualifications from NIDA (The National Institute of Dramatic Art) and the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and I hold a Masters degree in Performance Teaching from The University Of Melbourne. I have very real connections with families I've met through this website, and have been taking jobs from Find A Babysitter for years, so I have lots of positive reviews to speak to the natural affinity I have with kids! I nannied consistently for a beautiful family with two toddlers over the past last two years and have also worked as an Educator/Carer at the popular Kool Kidzz holiday program, an Educator and Carer at Penleigh & Essendon Grammar School in the music and drama programs and as an Arts & Crafts teacher in shopping centre workshops. I'm a genuinely enthusiastic, warm, bubbly and playful person who adores playing with children (and is happy to, for hours on end!) but can be equally firm and instil boundaries when required. I'm totally unfazed by a noisy, busy household and pets are never a problem (in fact, always a plus). I would love to hear from you if you think I might be a lovely fit for your family's needs! I am always looking for casual babysitting work, so feel free to reach out! Best, Mel

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi families, Welcome to my profile ☺️ 🌺 I'm a young at heart mature woman with a beautiful independent 30 year old son. I have a positive, upbeat & engaging personality. I was a School Captain & have the ability to get along with all types of people. I have done some voluntary work for Single Family camps creating programs for children at these camps & I was responsible for keeping babies, toddlers & even teens occupied while giving Mum or Dad some much needed respite. This was a fantastic experience & I resided at these 5 day camps solely to help out with the other camp leaders in a Voluntary capacity. I have also worked as a Swimming Teacher with the under 5's which I found very rewarding. In my last 12 years working as a Nanny I have cared for twins, multiple children (up to 8 at one time in total) & children with special needs such as autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, asthma, diabetes, eczema & other challenging health conditions. I'm experienced with new born babies up to teens. I am trustworthy & reliable & known for being punctual. I'm a very good communicator. I’m hard-working, diligent, energetic & enthusiastic and a whole lot of fun! I have trained in nursing and paramedic studies. I have had extensive experience with babies and children dating back to the age of 9 when I babysat the neighbours children (including a couple of newborns!).... in total 15 !! I have always been mature & responsible beyond my years. I have been surrounded by children my whole life including my 4 younger siblings and 30 1st cousins! I was a mother figure to my 4 younger siblings as my mother was working full-time as a Nursing Sister & my father was away from home a lot in his job as an International Airline Captain. I have had a lot of responsibility thrust upon me from a very young age! I am Aunty to 13 nieces & nephews & am very close to them & we catch up on a regular basis. I enjoy the spontaneous and honest interaction that children provide and I find it immensely rewarding knowing that I am able to influence and help a child to learn and grow confidently. I'm fair with a gentle approach & can be firm while teaching boundaries. I believe all children require stability and need to know they are loved and lovable as a basic right. I never cease to be amazed at the lessons that children can teach us adults! I am inspired by the enthusiasm that children have when learning about the world around them. I tend to establish a good rapport with the young ones I care for which I find very rewarding. Children are so precious & truly a blessing to be cherished. Importantly I am pro-active with a 'can do' attitude & I have a keen eye for detail so nothing goes unnoticed! I am very safety-conscious so your childs welfare is of utmost importance to me at all times. I can be flexible with time & I am more than happy to work with you to suit you and your childrens ongoing needs. I also do pet-minding/house sitting (many years now since I was a young girl) & have had a dog walking/dog training gig too so I'm comfortable with all types of pets. I love all animals. 🤗 *Important to know...... I have had my car licence for 40 years & I'm a very cautious driver with a full licence & faultless record with Zero accidents & no demerits! I look forward to meeting you and your precious children. *My rate is dependent on time of day & number of children needing care. As per industry regulations my rate starts at $35-40 per hour & I prefer to work a minimum of 3 hours. As a tutor helping with homework my rate is the standard rate of $40 helping one student. Thank you. ☺️ *My most recent role involved caring for a newborn baby & his toddler brother which I really loved. Their Mum has written an excellent reference that is available for your perusal.* Thanks so much for reading & have a lovely day! Sincerely Yours Fionna
