Nannies in Essendon West, VIC

Hi there, my name is Zeph and I just moved to the area from Ballarat! I have 8 year experience caring for children between 6 months and 12 years, both as a casual babysitter and part-time nanny! I am a trained actor and currently work at Kryal Castle, so I love imaginative play, craft activities and dabble in a bit of face painting (and also have the best spot for a day trip excursion!) I have my employee working with children’s check and am happy to provide references from my previous family in Ballarat. On top of making sure your kids are happy, safe and having fun, I am also happy to: 🌟 Help with homework (I have experience tutoring English and Literature) 🌟Prepare Meals 🌟Organise fun excursions 🌟Light household tasks (dishes, folding laundry etc)

My name is Hannah, I love to read and write, and am a skilled cook, and quite good at housework. I have done babysitting before and often get along with children.

I'm a very fast learner, very responsible, very organised and I handle stressful situations very well. Over the past years, I have learnt how to have a lot of patience and how to be understanding, especially in hard situations. I'm very passionate in everything I do. Whether it be my career, my personal life or my dreams and aspirations, and I always put 100% in. I always try my best to see the positives in every situation and don't like to dwell on the negatives. I love so many things such as staying active, baking, listening to music, etc! I truly do love the simple things in life and can find joy in the smallest of things.

Hi! I'm Ash. I have been nannying since 2016 and absolutely love it! I left my last full-time nanny role in August to start working a 9-5 in my career as a photographer.

I’m fun-loving, deeply caring & responsible with so much love to give your littles. I have employee WWCC & First Aid. Willing to obtain a police check.

Hi, I'm Emma! I am currently working my fourth in a early childhood care centre and I am deeply passionate about the caring and teaching of children, helping them grow in all their developmental areas, and making sure that they are having fun! I have primarily worked with the ages 2.5 - 4 years, but have had lots of experiences with other ages and am confident in their routines and developement stages through these ages. I am currently working casual in childcare, before and after school care, holiday program, and have some families that i care for on the side as I am studying Psychology so casual or part time babysitting would be very practical for me!

Hi! I'm Georgia a current Education student (prep-12) studying and living in Brunswick West. I’m now looking to get back into babysitting and would love to support families who need a trustworthy and engaging carer. I’m active, friendly, and love creating fun and safe environments where kids feel comfortable and encouraged to be themselves. I’ve gained extensive experience supporting children across all year levels through my education degree and previous babysitting roles. For the past couple of years, I’ve also worked in disability support while continuing my teaching journey, which has further developed my skills in patience, empathy, and adaptability. I hold a current Working With Children Check, First Aid Certificate, Children’s First Aid, Anaphylaxis Training, and a Driver’s Licence, making me well-prepared to handle any situation confidently and calmly.

Hi Parents! I’m 30, have a car and I have completed my Certificate III in Children's Services and I used to work at a Childcare Centre in Avondale Heights.

Hello! I'm an experienced and loving nanny dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children. With 2 years of hands-on experience, I have a strong passion for child development and believe in fostering creativity, learning, and independence in every child I care for. I offer a range of services, including homework assistance, organizing engaging activities, and managing daily routines to ensure a healthy balance of fun and responsibility. My approach is patient, compassionate, and tailored to each child's individual needs and interests. Whether its playtime, outdoor adventures, or quiet moments of reading and bonding, I strive to create a positive and supportive environment where children feel loved and cared for. If you are looking for a reliable and friendly nanny who will become a trusted extension of your family, I'd love to connect and discuss how I can support your family's needs! Another fact about me is that I am an international student studying in University of Melbourne so I do not have a driver's license yet but am working towards it. Unfortunately a lot of the childcare certificates need a valid Australian driver's license hence I might be unqualified in that aspect. But I promise you, your child will be my first priority and I would do anything in my power to make sure they stay safe and sound. Thank You

Hi families! My name is Eliza and I’m 19 years old. I’m currently in my second year of a Bachelor of Arts at Uni Melb, majoring in creative writing with a minor of media and communications, looking to progress into a master of education (early learning/primary) and have the amazing experience of living on residence at St Marys college. Currently I have a part time role caring for four beautiful kids. My role includes school drop offs, pick ups lunch packing, and cooking dinner/ nighttime routines. Spending time with these kids is what I most look forward to each week! I am very committed to providing a warm, nurturing environment for both of these kids to learn and grow and I am just so grateful to be given the opportunity to watch them do so. I have my license and a car and am very confident with driving kids around for necessary pick up and drop offs and I am more than capable in multitasking to create a suitable and fun environment for both kids as I am aware that needs and interests vary with age, hobby’s and personalities of each kid! I have experience caring for children ranging from 6 months to 14 years old, and am comfortable adapting to different sleep schedules for each child, nappy changes and bottle feeding. I am also quite a good English student (hence the creative writing major) as well as art, music. Humanities basic maths and science, and would love to help out with any homework if your child is of school age :). I have been fortunate enough to work casually with multiple families over the past few years caring for children ranging in ages and believe myself to have obtained a great ability to find and execute the best warm, encouraging environment for each different child.

I’m responsible, patient, and passionate about supporting each child’s unique personality and growth. I also enjoy cooking and take pride in keeping spaces clean and organised.

Hey! My name is Nina, and I’m a bubbly, friendly first-year university student with over five years of babysitting experience. As the oldest of five siblings, much younger than me I naturally stepped into a caretaker role early on, which sparked my passion for working with children. I began babysitting for other families at 15, and since then, I’ve cared for kids of all ages, personalities, and needs. Whether it’s helping with homework, organising creative games, or simply being a supportive presence, I strive to create a positive and engaging environment for every child in my care. I am certified in first aid, which gives me- and the families I work with peace of mind knowing that safety is always a top priority. I believe that imaginative play is essential for children’s development, so I love bringing creativity into our time together, from arts and crafts to make-believe adventures. understand the trust families place in their nannies, and I am committed to providing reliable, nurturing, and attentive care.

Hi my name is Olivia :) I have been travelling Europe for the past 7 months and got back on the 12th of February and I am now seeking some more employment involving working with children. I have over 4 years of nanny experience. Doing gigs ranging from short to long term help and casual covers Previously to my travels I looked after a gorgeous boy for a year who turned 2 while I was looking after him. I really enjoyed this and had a lovely bond but unfortunately his family moved to Perth. The hours were 8-6pm and I am looking for something similar. Prior to that I nannied casually for a 2 and a half year old boy who I took to the pools often due to my experience with swim teaching (this job was for a few months). Another family of two girls; a 6 month year old and 4 year old who needed my help for 3 months while their old helper was away. A german family who I’ve a good relationship with and nannied for them on two different occasions (a few months stint each time) who stay in Melbourne for a bit to visit family. (They were 6 months and 2 years old the first time and 2 and a half and 4 the following) Before some travels I did in 2022, I looked after a young girl around one years old for 6 months which was also long houred days of 8-5pm. Those two gigs were under an angency called The Reinforcement nannying agency. Which no longer runs. I have been a children's swimming teacher for Elite Swimming where I dealt with a wide range of ages typically (2-13 years old) in group and private situations. Prior to starting nannying 4 years ago i did casual baby sitting for 6+ years for local families where I first gained experience with kids varying ages. I am the second oldest out of four girls and therefore I am very family orientated and have grown up in a household surrounded by other kids which has taught me a lot of valuable skills such as communication and patience. I am currently taking a break from uni, however i was studying a bachelor of science at Monash. I am a very caring, energetic, friendly person who is a reliable, confident, and flexible worker. I believe I have a nurturing nature and genuinely love being around and caring for kids. I love planning activities, playing outside, reading etc. I love being able to watch a child I look after flourish and development into their own unique character. I also am more than happy to help out with cleaning up around the house, preparing meals, bathing etc. A bit about me: I love playing sports (netball and football), being in nature, cooking, listening to music, leading an active lifestyle as well as partaking in spontaneous activities with my friends and always trying and learning new things! I am more than happy to give anymore information required by potential employers and provide parent references. I recently refreshed my first aid, I have a car and have a WWCC. Rates wise: When looking after two children I have typically recieved an additional $5 per hour.
