Babysitters in Kensington, VIC

Hello! I'm a caring individual who recently moved from Scotland on a working holiday visa. Although I’m new to babysitting, I bring a warm and responsible approach to childcare. I’m eager to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your little ones, and I look forward to growing my experience while building a trusting relationship with your family.

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

Hi, I'm Jenna! I'm 32 years old and work in the non-profit sector. Over the years, I've had lots of experience babysitting and nannying, both in Australia and the UK (where I lived for two years). I've cared for toddlers who need help with nappy changes and bath time, as well as older kids who enjoy fun activities and homework support. Previously, I worked as a registered nurse for three years, specialising in women's health and neonatal intensive care. I also have over four years of experience as a personal carer, supporting people with disabilities such as muscular dystrophy, paraplegia, and autism. This means I'm confident in handling first aid, injury care, and assisting with daily tasks like food preparation and showering. Since I now work from home, I’m looking for casual or part-time babysitting as a way to connect with families and spend time with kids. I truly enjoy getting to know children, learning about their personalities, and engaging them in creative and stimulating activities. Some of my favorite hobbies include arts and crafts, bike riding, and reading—things I’d love to share with the kids I care for! I’m happy to help with light housework, and I can provide a Police Check and references upon request. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones! 😊
