Meet Maddison (Maddi): A nanny and babysitter in Heidelberg, VIC

Hi! I’m Maddi – a passionate, caring, and reliable babysitter with a background in Youth Work and a love for supporting the growth and wellbeing of young people.

I'm an aunty of eight nieces and nephews aged 4–16 who are the joy of my world! With over 10 years of hands-on babysitting experience, I’ve grown confident caring for a variety of ages and personalities, and have become quite skilled at navigating sibling disputes!

Professionally, I’m a qualified Youth Worker with 4+ years of industry experience in youth residential care and case management. I’ve had the privilege of supporting young people with a wide range of presentations such as autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, BPD, and school refusal. My approach is grounded in patience, empathy, and playfulness, with respect for established family dynamics and culture.

I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Psychology with the goal of becoming a child therapist. Babysitting offers me the opportunity to stay connected to young people while financially supporting myself as I work toward that dream.

I’ve been looking after a family for the last year and currently work with their two boys on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. However, as I have just moved house, I am also seeking work closer to home and am available:

Mondays 6:30AM-10:00AM, 3:00PM-5:00PM

Tuesdays 6:30AM-10:00AM

Wednesdays 6:30AM-5:30PM

Thursdays 6:30AM-10:00AM

Fridays 6:30AM-10:00AM

💲45/hour:

✨ Before & After School Care – Help with morning routines and transport to/from school or activities.

✨ Engagement & Supervision – Fun, age-appropriate activities that spark curiosity and confidence.

✨ Updates to your liking – I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your little ones with someone new. I offer communication tailored to your needs, so you can relax knowing your child is safe, happy, and cared for.

✨ General house tidying – You’ll always return to a tidier home!

✨ Growth & Development – Supporting young people to develop and achieve new goals, skills and confidence is ingrained in my approach after years of practice and industry-leading supervision and training.
