Nurturing Babysitter & Mother of Two

Hello parents!
As a caring and responsible mum of two, I have hands-on experience in nurturing and supporting children through all stages of early development. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where kids feel happy and supported. I’m patient, reliable, and passionate about helping little ones learn and grow through play, creativity, and everyday moments🎨📚. I’m also currently studying to become an early childhood educator, which helps me better understand and support each child’s unique needs.
Although I’m new to the app, I bring years of real-life experience and I treat every child with the same love and care I give my own🥰❤️

Experienced babysitter and aupair

I am a kind, mature and responsible lady with extensive childcare experience across different age groups.

Recently, I worked full-time as a nanny for a family in Melbourne with a 12-month-old girl, a 3-year-old boy, a 4-year-old girl, and every second week a 7-year-old girl. My responsibilities included preparing meals, managing routines, and ensuring school drop-offs and pick-ups. I focused on the 12-month-old's development, including swimming lessons. Previously, I served as an AuPair in New Zealand twice. I cared for three brothers (6, 4, and 18 months) in one role, and two boys (4 and 5) in another, engaging them in art, baking, science projects, and outdoor activities. In addition to professional roles, I've regularly cared for my 3-year-old niece and 7-year-old nephew since their births.

These experiences deepened my understanding of child development and strengthened my ability to create nurturing environments. Throughout my career, I have prioritized children's well-being and growth. I organize enriching activities, ensure safe transportation, and promote outdoor play and sports to foster a positive environment where children thrive.

Additionally, I speak fluently Spanish (my first language) and English.
I am currently studying a Diploma of Community Services, having classes on Mondays and Tuesdays from 8:30 till 3:30 in the CBD.

Experienced, loving, nurturing baby sitter. Excited to help…

Hi
My name is Alejandra and I have been a Medical Laboratory Scientist for 15 years.
Currently I'm transitioning into establishing my own business, as love and relationships coach and I'm looking for opportunities to help me sustain myself whilst I work on my business.

I don't have kids myself, but I would have loved to have had that life experience. I'm a naturally caring, nurturing, loving woman, and I think looking after children is really aligned with my needs at the moment

I've also worked for an agency in child care centers, when I was younger back in 20**, and 20**.
I used to be sent to different child care centers in Brisbane, Queensland to help them with the chores, and with lunch prepping etc.

Reliable, fun & experienced babysitter for any age!

Hello!

I’m a university student looking for some casual babysitting jobs!

I have a lot of experience babysitting and helping children of various ages from all kinds of backgrounds as I grew up overseas.

I’m living in the South Melbourne/Port Melbourne area so although I don’t have a car, it is still very easy for me to travel most places with PTV.

In the last year I’ve spent a lot of time with different families whether it’s helping with school/kinder pick up, arranging dinner while also keeping order to the house/routine of the kids; or just coming over for a few hours while the parents get some work done/go out for dinner!

I'm extremely flexible with hours and requirements and would love to be of help!

Experienced Babysitter

Hello!! My name is Lily and I am located in the Richmond area. I grew up being my family and friends’ “go to nanny” from the age of 5 and I am still the same today! I grew up with a 5 years younger brother who I took the reins of from day one and we are still best friends. I have always been someone that is passionate about showing care and love to children and I genuinely just love seeing their little smiles. I have done quite a lot of volunteering with local primary schools and younger high school students through my high school and it is something I always looked forward to! I have also worked in childcare for over 2 years and have experience with children of all ages. I truly just appreciate being a big sister or role model to your kids and making memories with them like my nanny did for me when I was younger.
I am happy to help in any way I can from doing meals to chores needing to be done to lighten your load! I am also a fairly good cook if I do say so myself! and I love teaching others if your little one/s ever want to whip up a little treat or a yummy dinner with me! I am very flexible with times and can work around whatever you may need. I also want to add that I am an animal lover if you have any pets!
I have a working with children check, a police check, a LOT of first aid training, done quite a lot of volunteering with kids and am an experienced barista if you ever want a coffee!!
Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have at all and if there’s any further information you may need please send message!
