Babysitters in Thornbury, VIC

Hi Everyone! I'm an experienced childcare worker who loves children. I’m currently seeking part time daytime work with newborns - toddlers as this is my specialty. I've had experience with private nannying/babysitting, daycare centres and teaching overseas at ESL schools. I’m comfortable with a number of kids at once if you have older school aged kids which also need care. I feel privileged to work with beautiful little children and I take my work seriously. Looking forward to meeting you!

I am an educated and experienced nanny, dedicated to providing adaptable, holistic childcare and family support. From working as an au pair in Paris, to planning and supervising school holiday camps and homework groups, I’ve had the opportunity to gain valuable and transferable skills over the last 13 years. I’m somewhat of a toilet training champion, and no slouch when it comes to sleep training either! Ultimately I love becoming a part of a family and bringing joy and ease to your child’s life (and yours). Parents would describe me as dependable, perceptive, and compassionate. Children would describe me as funny, helpful, and smart. Hopefully you will too!

Hi there! I am currently 23 years old, living independently in Thornbury and have graduated from RMIT (2023) studying a Bachelor of Criminology and Psychology. I am currently looking for casual babysitting opportunities before I start looking for roles in my career (in 2025/2026). I have previously looked after a family with 3 children (aged 8-13, from Feb-Dec 2022), and I am currently nannying for a family with 2 kids aged 10 & 12 (January 2024-current). I have also had many casual babysitting opportunities looking after toddlers and tweens (Dec 2021-current). I have limited experience working with children under the age of 1. I can provide references for these experiences :) I am after work that is rewarding, and allows me to form greater connections to those that I am supporting. My aspiration is to work in a counselling or case management setting that works with vulnerable families and youth/children. I have previously worked in a psychologist’s office where I assisted children with additional needs in their activities, and sat into occupational therapy sessions. I hope to bring the things I have learnt in this role with me! In addition to my part time work as a nanny, I am currently a Peer Mentor volunteer at Kids First, and a Crisis Supporter Volunteer at Lifeline. I am also an experienced pet sitter and dog walker, so I would be happy to help out with any pets as well. I am fully vaccinated (up to date boosters as well), have a WWCC, a police check issued in September of 2024, with a full and current driver’s license.

Hello, I'm looking for extra hours during the school holidays. I am a mature age graduate counsellor. I have a mindfulness background and value creating a warm and calm environment. I'm available short notice.
