Hello! I’m a warm, patient, and responsible 23-year-old with a Bachelor’s degree and a strong passion for caring for children. While I may not have formal childcare employment yet, I bring a natural ability to connect with kids, a calm and nurturing personality, and a genuine commitment to their wellbeing. I’m fluent in English, Hindi, Telugu, and Urdu, which helps me engage comfortably with children from diverse backgrounds. I love keeping kids entertained through creative activities like drawing, reading stories, crafts, and fun learning games. I can also help with homework and educational support to make learning both effective and enjoyable. Additionally, I’m comfortable with pets, adaptable to routines, and available to babysit at my home or occasionally at yours, based on your preference. I always prioritize safety, respectful communication, and creating a positive environment where children feel happy, heard, and secure.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

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
