Babysitters in Abbotsford, VIC

I am a 25-year old qualified primary school teacher and have been working in schools since 2021. I am hard working, reliable, passionate, fun and love to create engaging learning experiences for children through play. In my recent experience as a teacher, I had a class of 20 children aged 4 and 5 who I took pride in educating, nurturing and caring for. Before becoming a teacher I was a babysitter and also worked in a childcare facility for children aged 4 to 11. I also have several nieces and nephews and have been an integral part of their lives, caring for them regularly from birth through to the toddler stage and beyond.

Hi Families! I’m Dominique ! Currently I am 21 years old, only having moved to Melbourne around 3 months ago from the country town of Rochester. I am currently working part time at the Royal Children’s hospital which I absolutely love, it's very rewarding! I would love to eventually return to uni and pursue a carer in paediatrics allied health as I feel like I have grown to love that environment and have an impact on the care they receive. I love being able to provide care for children, as they are such resilient little beings as well as providing support for the families and carers present. This I feel highlights my love for caring for children, with around 4 years of babysitting experience at present for children as young as 6 months old up to teenagers. One of the past families I used to care for on a regular basis was a family of 2 children, ages 5 and 3, I feel I was able to grow a beautiful bond with the kids and loved how excited they were to see me on the days i would babysit them! I would entertain them through various activities, including inside and outside games, going to the park, as well as some quiet time as it is sometimes needed! I have experience with children as young as 6 months old, and have juggled up to 3 kids at time! I have a warm and nurturing nature and I look forward to discussing with you further about the possibility of caring for your children and fitting into your family as best I can! Can’t wait to hear from you, Dom xx

My name is Francesca, I am 32 and I am the eldest of three children in my family, with two younger brothers. I was born and raised in Melbourne, living on the Mornington Peninsula for most of my childhood before residing in the city (where I still live) to study at the University of Melbourne. I have babysat for numerous families over the years, starting when I was just 13 years old and would play with my neighbour's children whilst their parents worked from home. While I am currently work full-time in PR for Viktoria & Woods, I am hoping to offer evening and weekend support for any families seeking babysitting for their kids. I am a kind, friendly and out going person, who loves kids. I am a very active person and would love to take your kids to the beach, park or to any other fun activities (weather permitting!) If any extra assistance is needed in preparing dinner, completing light household duties or helping with school work - I am confident and happy to assist on that front too. Previously, I have cared for children aged anywhere between 9 months - 12 years old and I'm happy to provide references upon request. As both my parents worked full-time whilst my two younger bothers and I were growing up, I have had lots of my own experiences with nannies and babysitters and know what makes a good carer from the perspective of a child. Even though small, they played an important part in my childhood and I can still recall such fond memories of my favourite babysitters over the years - my hope is that I am able to provide that same experience to other kids 😊. If you think I would be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to get in touch using the details provided in my profile. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks, Francesca
