Nannies in Northcote, VIC

Looking for: Full-time, Part-time, Casual Babysitting Hello parents, My name is Tracey, and I am a vibrant, energetic 54-year-old with a lifelong passion for working with children. From an early age, I discovered my love for caring for babies, toddlers, and young kids, starting as a babysitter at 13 in my hometown of Castlemaine. In my 20s, I worked in childcare centres before transitioning into a career as a professional singer, alongside raising two wonderful sons who are now 27 and 19. Over the years, I’ve remained deeply involved in caregiving—helping raise my nieces, babysitting for families, and working in aged care and disability support. For the past two years, I have been a regular babysitter for three children under the age of six, further strengthening my hands-on experience. My Approach to Childcare I strive to create a nurturing, fun, and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and engaged. I believe in the importance of routine, ensuring children are well-rested and happy. I love incorporating creativity and learning into daily activities, whether through reading, music, arts and crafts, puzzles, or imaginative play. With my background in music, I enjoy singing lullabies, teaching songs, and use music as a calming tool. I also have a strong focus on health and well-being—I love cooking nutritious meals (I come from an Italian background and am confident in the kitchen!), and I encourage cleanliness and appropriate dressing for all weather conditions. Light household duties are absolutely fine, as I work best in a clean and organised space. Why Choose Me? ✔️ Over 40 years of childcare experience (personal and professional) ✔️ Background in aged care and disability support, specialising in dementia care ✔️ A warm, friendly, and adaptable personality—great with kids of all ages ✔️ Love for reading, singing, creative play, and making learning fun ✔️ Honest, reliable, and flexible with scheduling ✔️ Animal lover!

Hi there! I'm Gabby, an energetic, positive, caring and responsible person, looking for babysitting work to complement my part-time psychology degree that I’m excited to move to Melbourne from Sydney for! I have babysat and nannied for many amazing families over the last 12 years, and currently nanny for an almost 2 year old in Paddington, who I adore and casually for around 6 families in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney! I also look after a 1 and 4 year old 1 day a week. I have also just completed a course to become an ADHD coach, so for the next year will be nannying while I set up my business, alongside study - as you can tell I love to be busy and learn! I absolutely love caring for children as I love getting to know the kids I babysit, from the first day where they can often be quite shy, to the point of familiarity, which is really rewarding. I love seeing their unique personalities grow every time I see them, and love how carefree and creative children can be. I also really enjoy baby-sitting because it's always alot of fun, and I enjoy finding fun activities to do, whether it's going to the park, making music, making a cubby house or making artworks. I have taught music to 0-5 year olds at Reddam in St. Leonard’s and Lindfield, as well as teaching K-1 before school music classes in Bondi. I do a lot of casual babysitting work in Newtown for a beautiful 4 year old boy (who I have been lucky enough to watch grow from 8 months old!) and his 1 year old sister, as well as nannying for my beautiful 2 and 4 year old nephews. I also do casual evenings for a beautiful family with a 1 year old in Edgecliff, and two children who are 7 and 9 in Edgecliff. I am a creative & energetic person, and I absolutelylutely love to babysit. It brings me so much joy and I love taking care of and nurturing the gorgeous personalities who I get to meet! I would love to hear from you, if I sound like the right fit for your family, and a full CV and references is available :) I have a WWCC & a Police Check
