Meet Maddison (Maddi): A nanny and babysitter in Toorak, VIC

Hi! I’m Maddi – a passionate, caring, and reliable babysitter with a background in Youth Work and a love for supporting the growth and wellbeing of young people.

I’ve been an aunty since I was 13 and now have eight nieces and nephews aged 3–15 who are the joy of my world! With over 10 years of hands-on babysitting experience, I’ve grown confident caring for a variety of ages and personalities, and have become quite skilled at navigating sibling disputes!

Professionally, I’m a qualified Youth Worker with 3+ years of industry experience in youth residential care and case management. I’ve had the privilege of supporting a wide range of young people with presentations such as autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and BPD. My approach is grounded in patience, empathy, and playfulness, with respect for your established family dynamics and culture.

I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Psychology with the goal of becoming a child therapist. I’m looking for a regular weekly babysitting job to help financially support myself while I work toward that dream.

I don’t have any parent references yet as I am just starting out, but I’d be more than happy to meet you and your child(ren) beforehand to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe!

💲45/hour:

✨ Before & After School Care – Help with morning routines and transport to/from school or activities.

✨ Engagement & Supervision – Fun, age-appropriate activities that spark curiosity and confidence.

✨ Updates to your liking – I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your little ones with someone new. I offer communication tailored to your needs, so you can relax knowing your child is safe, happy, and cared for.

✨ General house tidying – You’ll always return to a tidier home!

✨ Growth & Development – Supporting young people to develop and achieve new goals, skills and confidence is ingrained in my approach after years of practice and industry-leading supervision and training.
