Babysitters in Kensington, VIC

I have just graduated year 12, I am 17 and I am about to begin studying to become a paramedic. I play netball at my local sports club, where I also coach a group 10 7 year old girls. This coaching experience has given me experience with children and has gained my confidence in order to become a babysitter. I thrive around kids, I love hanging out with them and all of the things that babysitting entails. I am a very adventurous person, I love to hike, I love to travel and I love to meet new people. I know I would be a great babysitter because I am kind, caring and calm.

Hi Parents! I'm Joanna. Originally from the UK & have been living in Melbourne for 15 years. I absolutely love spending time with children, they bring lots of laughter & joy. I’m friendly, patient and energetic. Left my corporate job in Sales 6 years ago, to pursue working with children. Worked as a full-time nanny since and never looked back! I would love to build relationships with parents & children and get to know each other on a long term basis 😊

Hi there Mums & Dads.... I am your Mary Poppins!! I currently look after a few families however my calendar has opened for either a Wednesday OR a Thursday for a new family in 2025. I commit to long hour and long term commitment for the year with all of my families. It's important. Currently I cover ages 8 months, 12 months, 2.5 years, 4.5 years and 9 & 11 years olds. I understand the variety of changing developments in children and adapt to these needs. I love children and have looked after them across many stages of my entire life, as a local babysitter since I was 14 years old and up until now as a professional nanny for parents who are doctors, solicitors, engineers, school teachers, marketing specialist and even a CEO. Having a person of a mature age can provide some enormous benefits to both parents and children. I know life well and in very deeply different ways. I have an extensive understanding of the impact a moment or day in time can have on a child. Being there to pick up on these signals is very important. Recognising and sensing these subtle shifts need an awareness that comes with human development, of which I have covered extensively. Keeping a child calm and happy is important and to have skills that remove the stress and anxiety is about the energy from the nanny/babysitter. To become relaxed and connected/engaged with a mature age carer can offer great comfort to any child. The love will always be there. I follow routines and set boundaries, (initiated from the parents) for all children because it creates security and trust with them. I participate in both home and outdoor activities and excursions. I can drive my own car (petrol charges incur) or use any parents' cars. I cover household cleaning (light house work: all things kids mess, upkeep where possible in the laundry area, keep kitchen clean) to take the burden away from parents so they can come home to a cleaner environment than perhaps they left it. This is always discussed in detail for any family because I am not a 'house cleaner' I am a Nanny. I am extremely reliable and punctual to enable all parents to relax knowing I will always be there for them. I look forward to hearing from you. Nanny Clare
