I love all kids. I know I’m young and I’ve got a lot to learn but kids are like a breath of fresh air from reality. You take a step back from what you are doing in order to make sure they are happy. It’s like as a parent your child’s happiness is all that matters and is music to your ears. I love children, they bring a smile to my face and hearing their laugh is so cute and brings joy to my heart. I used to baby sit my neighbours daughter and I used to take her to the park and on walks and would spend hours playing with her. I really hope that you can give me the opportunity to look after your children and teach them something about the world that’s theirs to discover.

Just a little introduction about myself. I am located in Brighton. My name is Melana and i am 22 and currently studying my diploma of nursing. I have been babysitting since i was 17 and i enjoy every moment of it. I would consider myself a sporty person and a outdoor person. I would like to consider myself caring, bubbly and a respectful person. I do have my licensee and a car so would be happy to help with drop offs and pick ups. I love teaching kids new activities and even just hanging out with them around the house. I am the type of babysitter who would love to hang outdoors if the weather is nice. If you have pets and are happy for me to take them for a walk or take to the park would be amazing with the kids , as i think the more outdoor time would benefit the kids instead of looking at a screen. i am also happy to help with babysitting late at night and helping a bit around the house. I am happy to provide my first aid certificate , wwc, police check and my references as well as my drivers license. If you think i would be a good fit please don't hesitate to message me.

Hi families, I am a mum to 2 school age girls, a former Registered Nurse and now a full time nanny as I just can't get enough baby and toddler cuddles. I spent 14 months caring for 1 family with a baby who was 4mo old when I started and then also cared for their 2nd baby from 4 weeks old. I currently care for 3 families with children aged 12-38mo but have some availability opening up in 2025 on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays so am looking for ideally 1 or 2 families with a baby to love and care for. I have a WWCC and am willing to obtain further checks if requested. I look forward to chatting with you further about your nanny needs.

Hi! I've just finished my first year in University. I'm studying in the hope of becoming a child psychologist, so I am very motivated to get to know every child and help them through life. I also have some preliminary knowledge on how children develop. I have looked after and entertained kids occaisionally, incuding young cousins and family friends, who are 4 years old and older. I am looking for part-time or full-time jobs and I will be completely free from the 8th of January onwards. I am very creative and imaginitive and implement this in playing with kids. I'm honestly a child at heart and would fully immerse myself in their make-believe worlds. In saying this, I am very organised and have time management skills, but I can handle spontanaity too. I love playing the piano and can cook meals as well as clean. I'd be honoured to help care for your family.

Hi everyone, I have about 5 years experience working in early childhood education and currently studying a Bachelor of Primary Education. I have experience with all age groups, specialising in nursery and school age children. I can cook, clean, change nappies, prepare bottles, put children to sleep, read to them, sing to them, assist with homework and almost any other task you require of me. Unfortunately I do not currently have a car so am unable to do pick up/drop off however I am very competent with public transport and do have a full license so would happy to do pick up/drop offs using the tram/train/bus if you like, or using your own car if applicable. I am currently working Friday - Sunday but looking for another job. I'm currently on holidays from studying so I am available full time. I will be away over Christmas as my family lives in QLD and I will be returning to visit them, I also return back to full time study in March 2025, but until then, I'm available. So if you need a romantic night out, a chance to go shopping or just some peace and quiet, let me know and I'll get back to you asap. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

My name is Camila, Im from Chile and from a young age, I’ve had the opportunity to care for and support children between the ages of 2 and 11, which has allowed me to develop a deep sense of empathy and adaptability to different personalities, energy levels, and abilities. Being a nanny isn’t just a job for me, it's a true passion. I love fostering creativity through artistic activities, exploring nature with outdoor games and adventures, and even incorporating yoga and dance to help them release energy in a positive way. I also really enjoy fun cooking sessions, where we can experiment together with easy and playful recipes. I consider myself to be very creative, patient, and energetic, which helps me connect with children and create an environment where they feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

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

Hi there! I am very excited about meeting and getting to know you. To start with I am looking for: • Casual Babysitting & in the main • A Part-time (30 hours Min) — Full-time (40 hours Max) position that starts in February 2025. As my current families requirements will be changing next year, as a result I will be finishing up with them this year, which is sad, but that’s the life of a Nanny. •I would prefer to work for one family 30-40 hrs. But happy to have the 30-40 hrs be made up from 2-3 Families. (I am also hoping to end up with a position(s) with Friday off, so I can spend more time with my grandmother who really doesn't have much time left.) Essentials: - Valid Victorian Drivers Licence - WWCC: exp. 26/10/2028 - Police Check: exp. 20.09.25 - Level 2: First Aid (inclusive: Asthma, CPR & Epi-pen) exp. June 2027 - CV: with copies of my credentials - References Now about me - I cannot emphasise this enough I do not allow screens big or small. They really do mess with children’s brain chemistry, and screens make my job unnecessarily harder, they cause unneeded tension and conflict. As a result I much prefer families that work with me on this. My exceptions: They get them if it is for school work that has been set for an iPad/Tablet. Other than that they can have a 5-15 min with a literacy or numeracy game (this is dependent on their age and how they personally are after their time is up). And it is all supervised, and done in front of me, not in another room; where they can go down rabbit holes. Movie nights are allowed for a babysitting evening, and the screens rule is relaxed during school holidays. Duties I undertake: morning routines; breakfeast, lunch boxes, school bag packing, day-care/kinder/school drop offs -For the little ones when at home and not at daycare/kinddy. I like to have our week planned. Be it excursions to the zoo, park an indoor play center, library time or classes that helps their development (that the parents have enrolled them into) like Gymbaroo, Ready steady go, All Sports etc. to activities we can do at the house like baking or painting or even a playdate with their best friend. House management tasks; grocery and maintenance of pantry & basic medicine (ie expiries and organisation), light laundry duties, light house keeping, school holiday and pupil free day planning, meal planning, food prep (dietary requirements taken into consideration, naturally) multi-tasking Afternoon routine; networking with other parents at the children’s school that the children are friends with or do extra curriculum with, extracurricular taxing, planning of play dates, supervise-assistance with homework and practice for their extra curriculum. With additional extras from me if wanted/needed or time permits (eg. Music theroy, maths etc.) Evening routine; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine. I like to play word games and encourage conversation at dinner time. While walking or driving to school or activities I like to play math games or encourage conversation, I let the children lead as to what they want to do, to encourage confidence in ones own voice. I try my hardest when sibblings have a squabble to resolve it. But I watch & listen to see if they need my assistant first or if I am needed to interfere or intervene. Sometimes its a spration, other times it a sit down an talk it out with a talking stick. It depends on the children and the squabble, as to what will work or what is needed. History summary: I have been providing childcare on & off over the past 22 years. The last 8 of those; I have been a Full-time Nanny. I have worked with many different family equations: twins with a younger sibling, all girls, all boys, brothers and sisters, and solo children. The ages I have looked after are from 9mths - 12 years old. My favorite age to look after are children 14 mths - 5 years old, I know I shouldn’t have a favorite age, but I do. I also find the easiest age to look after is 8-11. But all children are different and I stay adaptable, because as they age - how I interacted with them must change. Some children are runners, some are quite contemplators, others always need to be crafting and creating big cardboard constructions, while another is quite happy to sit and do colouring in and drawing non-stop. They all ask questions after question non stop, lols ( as a result you get to learn from having to google answers to the questions you don’t have an answer for) •I started child caring in 2002 when I was 14: for my, then, piano teacher’s son. I cared for him 3 days a week, (after school) from the age of 2-8, while his mother worked from home: I had to master the skill of noise level control! •Once I was 16 I began to babysit for other families during the evenings, nights and on weekends. •When I started my tertiary studies I babysat casually between my part-time job and my studies 2006-2009 (I studied fashion but that world did not feel right for me). •Between 2010-2015 I would babysit and assist as a mother's helper when asked, whilst working 4 part-time jobs and trying to find my path in this world, by families that knew me, or who were referred to me. •In 2016 I went to Paris as an Au Pair. And fell in love with France. And started seeing the path I wanted to walk, and what I needed to do to get there. •In 2017 back in Oz; I undertook causal & part-time child-care positions. For families with babies, toddlers and preschoolers. •Eventual I found an amazing family of 5 (3 girls aged: 7, 10 & 12) to work for, as a full-time Nanny, I was with them from July 2017-July 2020. When it no longer made sense for me to be there whilst they worked from home, and the 3 girls couldn’t do their extra curricula’s because of lockdowns, or go to school. NOTE: Ages I give are of how old the children were, when I finished. •The next Family, was a family of 4; a boy- 9 years old & a girl - 7 years old, providing before and after school care 5 days a week from Nov 2020-Aug 2021. •From Sept 2021-present; I have been working F/T with a great Family of 4: 2 boys; 5 & 9 years old. (it is very sad that our time has come to an end). If you have read this far, I look forward to receiving a message from you. ☺️
