Looking for: Part-time

My name is Donna Finegan, and I am currently employed as an Administration Officer at Healesville Sanctuary. Due to organisational restructuring, my position will conclude on 16 October 2026, and I will be available to commence work from late October 2026. I am seeking a career change into nannying and childcare, a field that I am genuinely passionate about. For the past two years, I have been a respite foster carer for a wonderful seven-year-old boy through the Victorian Aboriginal Child and Community Agency (VACCA). This role has provided me with valuable experience supporting a child's wellbeing, development, and daily routines while also helping full-time foster carers maintain their important caregiving responsibilities. Through VACCA, I have completed extensive carer training and continue to participate in ongoing education and support programs. These experiences have strengthened my understanding of child development, trauma-informed care, cultural awareness, and the importance of providing children with a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment. As a mother of two children, now aged 33 and 38, I have many years of practical parenting experience. Raising my children has given me a strong understanding of the patience, consistency, and encouragement children need to thrive and become confident, capable adults. I enjoy engaging children in meaningful activities such as: • Reading stories • Arts and crafts, drawing, painting, and colouring • Playing games • Outdoor adventures and nature-based activities • Walks and visits to parks I strongly believe that spending time in nature is essential for children's physical, emotional, and social development, particularly in today's increasingly screen-focused world. I hold a current: • Working with Children Check • National Police Check • First Aid Certificate While my professional childcare experience has primarily been through respite foster care, I would be pleased to provide references from VACCA and personal referees upon request. I can also provide details of the training courses I have completed through VACCA. I am committed to continuing my professional development and am interested in undertaking a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care in the near future. At 64 years of age, I am active, energetic, reliable, and enthusiastic about supporting children and families. I would welcome the opportunity to bring my life experience, compassion, and strong work ethic to a nanny or childcare role. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your family and childcare needs.

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. 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 also love working with neurodivergent people and am currently working part time as a disability support worker. I have my own ABN and insurance that covers all aspects of my work in both the disability support work and nannying/babysitting sectors. I generally invoice through my business but I'm happy to discuss employment terms for more long-term roles as well. 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 for over 10 years. I have a reliable car with lots of room for kids seats, I'm willing to travel and I can provide solid references. I've also had a lot of last minute bookings so I'm very comfortable just jumping in with families I'm meeting for the first time! 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.

Hi! I’m Sienna, but everyone calls me CC 😊 I completed school at Carey Baptist Grammar School and I am currently studying Podiatry (Honours). I come from a close-knit family of five and we also have a beautiful border collie, Duke, so I’m very comfortable around dogs. I’ve always loved sport and spent 13 years doing gymnastics, which led me into coaching and judging children aged roughly 3–17. This experience really sparked my love for working with kids and helped me develop strong communication, patience and leadership skills. Over the past two years, I’ve worked as a nanny/babysitter for several lovely families with children of different ages. I cared for a family with three young boys aged 1, 4 and 6, where I helped with daily care, active play, routines and nappy changes for the youngest. I also worked with another family with two children aged 5 and 8, focusing on after-school care, school pick-ups, engaging activities and maintaining routines. In addition, I supported a family with two young girls aged 2 and 6, helping with age-appropriate play, school pick-ups, daily routines and general care. These experiences have made me very comfortable adapting to different family dynamics and needs. Surf lifesaving has also been a big part of my life. I volunteer at Point Leo SLSC, where I patrol the beach and teach children how to swim safely in the ocean and move confidently on the sand. Through this, I have strong first aid and CPR knowledge and feel confident handling responsibility and caring for children’s safety. I’m friendly, hardworking and energetic, and I genuinely love supporting families and spending time with kids. I’m really excited about the opportunity to help out in a welcoming home and be a reliable, caring presence. Based in Toorak and Eltham 😊
