Nannies in Prahran, VIC

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. If you’re looking for a reliable, kind-hearted babysitter who brings both compassion and commitment—I’d love to chat and learn more about how I can support your family.

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

Hi! I’m Alchemy — I’m 31, creative, reliable, and have been babysitting on and off for the past 8 years. Most of my experience has been with children aged 7 and up, often in busy households with multiple kids. I’m confident with school drop-offs, morning routines, after-school care, and helping out wherever needed throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating a calm, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and feel safe in. While I’ve mostly worked with older children, I’m eager to build more experience with younger age groups and always open to learning and adapting to suit each family’s needs.

I'm available for full days and happy to support your family in whatever way works best — whether that’s keeping things running smoothly at home, helping with meals and tidying, or being a consistent and caring presence during the day. Every family is different, and I love getting to know each child’s unique personality, needs, and rhythm. I value open communication, warmth, and flexibility — and always aim to build genuine connections with both kids and parents. Feel free to get in touch — I’d love to hear more about your family and how I might be able to support you.

Hi, my name is Harley. I’m a 32-year-old female with a lifelong connection to childcare, having grown up in a big family where I was helping care for younger siblings and cousins from a young age. Since then, I’ve continued working with children and developed a calm, caring, and reliable approach that children respond well to. Originally from the UK, I moved here alone so have plenty of free time and would love to support a busy family that could use an extra set of hands. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children, whether it’s playing games, helping with routines, or simply creating a safe, nurturing environment. I’m responsible, patient, and proactive, and I see babysitting as a meaningful way to connect with families, offer support, and have fun along the way.

I have 15 plus years of experience. I have worked as a nanny and a babysitter both in the United Kingdom and in Australia. I have worked with children of all ages with a range of different needs. The parents whom I have worked for have given me positive appraisals stating that I am attentive, interactive, creative, friendly and hard working. All of the families whom I have worked for have been busy families and I have assisted with school drop offs, school pickup's, meal preparation/feedings, house hold tasks, supervising/assisting with homework and keeping things in good running order whilst parents are occupied. I am a non smoker, I have a driver's licence, fully insured car, WWC card, parent references, qualification in Children's Services. I would love to organise a meet and greet with you to meet your family to see if we are the right fit for each other.
