Babysitters in North Melbourne, VIC

Hi there! I'm Karla, I've been nannying and babysitting for over a decade. I hold an arts degree and a Masters of Theatre. I currently work one day a week for a beautiful family with an eight year old and nine year old and have been with them for the past nine years. I also work part time in arts administration. I love getting to know a family, and developing meaningful connections with both children and parents. I find nannying to be incredibly rewarding. I have experience tutoring both primary and secondary aged students in english and literature. I believe a nanny should be active, engaging and in tune with the children in their care. I make an effort to regularly plan outings and activities. I often incorporate art and theatre as they are my passions. I am also more than happy to do some light cooking and cleaning. I have current references and a working with children's check.

Dear family, my name is Monica, and I am 24 years old. I arrived in Australia 9 months ago; I am from Argentina and also hold Australian citizenship.

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

Hello ! I have just completed my third year of post graduate Medicine at University of Melbourne. I have plenty of experience with children of all ages, especially looking after toddlers and children below the age of 7. I love playing and learning with children, and I hope I can help!

I'm an enthusiastic and warm student who can also tutor, cook and clean if needed. I am able to start in early Feb 2025, and mainly joining you in afternoons/ evenings. I have tutored various students in Chemistry, Literature, Philosophy, and Psychology at a high school level (yr 11 & 12). I worked for 5 years as a gymnastics coach at Melbourne Gymnastics Center (hawthorn) teaching kids ages 3-15. I have also worked in a paediatric neuropsychology clinic (2023).

Hi there. My name is Georgie and I'm a 55 year old mum myself with two beautiful older children aged 21 and 23 years, both of whom no longer need a lot of my care. I recently spent 3 months in Europe looking after my gorgeous one year old nephew, Archer for my brother and sister in-law. The experience was really enjoyable and it got me thinking that I would love to help another family with some babysitting. I have a broad range of experience with kids, including having been a swimming instructor, as well as having coached little athletics for just over 6 years. I love to cook, so helping in the kitchen will be no problem. Lastly, I hate mess, so I'd be very happy to help with any cleaning that needs doing.

In 2020 I was working as a nanny at home. My job was to help the children with their remote classes of English. Further, I had the opportunity to work in Nanny's S.O.S playground with children between the ages of 2 to 12 years old. Although, I have worked two years in a School on kindergarten and elementary level back in my country. I thought Spanish and English to the students. In my country, I used to childcare my baby nephew since he was born. I know everything about taking care of a child. Your baby will be in good hands.
