Babysitters in Cottles Bridge, VIC

Hello there! I'm currently seeking a part-time or casual nanny position after the family I’ve been working with moved out of town. I have over a decade of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to teenagers, and I’ve formed long-term, trusting relationships with families I’ve worked with. I also frequently step in as auntie for close friends and family, and have a step-daughter of my own. I also work as a kids’ party, workshop and play space facilitator, fuelling my passion for supporting self-expression, learning, empowerment and play. Prior studies in yoga and eastern philosophies, and my current focus on counselling and psychology, along with personal experience navigating mental health and neurodiversity, have contributed greatly to my ability to understand and attune to and communicate well with children, and I have a high capacity for providing emotional support. My priority is to foster a mutually safe, trusting relationship with children and their families, and to nurture emotional regulation and connection, ensuring children feel seen, heard, and respected, I bring a playful and creative spirit, with a love for exploration, adventures and cozy moments at home. I enjoy cooking, baking, making music, arts and crafts, and exploring nature, museums, playgrounds, libraries, galleries parks and all urban and nature adventuring in general. I am happy to take the lead with planning activities, engaging in play and coming up with ideas that encourage joy and learning. I also love engaging with child-lead play and enjoy discovering and nurturing whatever sparks the child's interest and enthusiasm. I’m very happy to assist with daily tasks like morning and bedtime routines, school drop-offs, errands, meal prep, homework, potty training, laundry and general household upkeep. Grossed out by the head lice your kid kindly bought home from kinder? I'll happily take care of that for you too! Being invited into a child's life to nurture their wellbeing and help them to grow, learn, and enjoy their world is a privilege and a joy, and I look forward to continuing to be a positive, supportive and inspiring presence for the next little human and their family. Thanks so much for taking the time to read my profile and feel free to get in touch if we sound like a good fit :)

Hello! I'm Sonny, a university student with plenty of hands-on experience caring for younger cousins and family members. My experience in looking after children has given me valuable skills in childcare. I've babysat children of all ages, from toddlers to pre-teens, and have learned how to keep them entertained, safe, and happy. I’m responsible, patient, and enjoy spending time with kids, whether it’s playing games, helping with homework, or just being there when they need support. I understand the importance of trust and communication and am always willing to work with families to meet their unique needs. I’m excited to bring my experience and positive attitude to help take care of your little ones. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you think I could be a good fit for your family!

Hi, I’m Poppy! I have a genuine love for working with children and plenty of hands-on experience caring for kids of all ages. I grew up as an only child for the first 10 years of my life until my two little sisters came along—now 11 and 9—which means I’ve been a built-in babysitter from the start! Growing up with Au Pairs in our home has also given me the opportunity to experience different personalities and caregiving styles, which has shaped my understanding of childcare. One day, I’d love to become an Au Pair myself! Beyond family experience, I’ve worked in childcare centers, where I cared for children in structured environments, and as a tennis coach, working with kids aged 5 to 15, helping them build confidence, coordination, and teamwork skills. These experiences have taught me patience, leadership, and how to keep kids engaged in a fun and active way. Currently, I work in administration, but I love babysitting because it allows me to connect with children, encourage creativity, and create a safe, happy environment. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, spending time with friends, and being outdoors—especially at the beach! During the colder months, you’ll find me enjoying hot pilates, yoga, or cozying up with my pets. I’d love the opportunity to help care for your little ones! Feel free to reach out with any questions. Looking forward to meeting your family!

While I don't have any formal first aid training, I'm a quick learner and always prioritise the safety and wellbeing of the children in my care. I'm currently studying criminology and psychological science, which gives me a unique perspective on child development and behaviour. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss how I can best support your childcare needs.

Hi, I’m Lilly, I’m currently a student studying a bachelor of Speech Pathology and eventually would love to work in a paediatric clinic or hospital! At age 15 and onwards I was involved in volunteering as water safety for nippers at Point Leo SLSC, where I assisted children aged 6-14 years old swimming and paddling on boards in rough conditions, helping to build their confidence and surf lifesaving skills. Throughout the holidays, I’ve looked after children aged between 3-12 years old around the neighbourhood. I have been with Peas in a Pod agency for a year now and was with a family on the Mornington Peninsula. I had a great experience with them, the kids were delightful and felt I really built a trusting and fun relationship with them both. The kids were aged 10 and 12 years old, this job consisted of me picking up from the bus stop, driving to sports/activities, getting them sorted for school the next day, playing all sorts of games, cooking dinner, completing light house duties and cleaning up dinner. During the school holidays, I would keep them entertained by going on walks, trying out new activities around the neighbourhood, as well letting them do there own thing when their playdate was over (always checking in on them of course). But unfortunately will be based in Melbourne now, so I'm looking for a new family! I am a very active person who loves the outdoors, whether that’s camping, surfing, swimming, running, or walking my border collie! In the past with other kids, I’ve also enjoyed taking them to the park, for walks, doing creative activities such as painting and drawing. And of course, playing games and outdoor activities. I also have had experience and enjoy helping out with homework, driving to school or sport, cooking dinner, reading, washing and getting kids ready for bed.

I'm a Paediatric Nurse with over 20 years of experience and have a current Working with Children's Check. I also am registered with AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency).

Hi I am Sienna, but my family and friends call me CC! I have recently just completed year 12 at Carey Baptist Grammar School and I am going on to study Podiatry this year. I am part of a family of 5 with a beautiful border collie dog, duke. Ive been told that I am a hardworking and charasmatic individual which I believe has stemmed from my passion for sport and the 13 years of gymnastics I was dedicated to. I have previously been a gymnatics coach and judge in which I have absolutely adored and is definitely what sparked my love for working and looking after kids. Surf life saving had also been a big part of my life where I volunteer at pt leo slsc by patrolling the beach as well as teaching kids how to swim in the ocean and run on the sand. I am really looking forward for the opportunity to give my support to a welcoming home 😊
