Babysitters in Carlton, VIC

Hi! I’m currently a second-year student on exchange from the UK in Melbourne, and I’m looking for a part-time/casual babysitting role alongside university. I would describe myself as responsible, patient, and positive, and I think my previous experiences working with children really reflect that. I have worked as a private tutor teaching French and history to children aged 7 to 12, which taught me how to be supportive while also keeping a good balance of structure and encouragement. I also spent over a year and a half volunteering at the Baytree Centre in London, a girls-only refugee and migrant support centre, where I helped run after-school activities including literacy classes, book clubs, and cooking sessions for girls aged 6 to 13. I truly gained so much learning from those children and became really comfortable working with different personalities and creating a fun and safe environment for them to grow! I am also the eldest in a pretty big family and constantly surrounded by younger children, so looking after them has always been a natural part of my life. I had to be patient and responsible, which taught me how to handle situations calmly and keep things light and positive. I am pretty flexible on my schedule, so I’ll be happy to adapt to your family's needs! :)

As an experienced Early Childhood Educator and accomplished Musician, I bring over 13 years of expertise in nurturing and educating young children. I have recently returned to Melbourne after spending 2 years overseas. Previous to this I worked at Isabel Henderson Kindergarten as an Early Childhood Educator and Music Specialist. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working with children in a variety of settings, including kindergartens across Melbourne's inner north and as a nanny for several families. I maintain strong relationships with all of my previous employers, who can provide glowing references. I value the importance of my experience and skills, which is reflected in my pay rate. I am happy to assist with cleaning, laundry, and cooking. As a vegetarian, I specialise in plant-based cooking, and my experience with preparing meat-based dishes is limited.

I am a student looking for casual work while studying at The University of Melbourne. I have over 6 years of childcare experience in babysitting, teaching reading, swimming coaching and after school care. I am looking for one off and regular babysitting jobs and I look forward to meeting you!

Hi Families! My name is Leila, I am 24, and originally from Scotland! I am a warm, passionate and experienced Early Years (Childcare) Assistant for 2.5 years, a Maths and English Tutor/holiday camp leader for ages 5-15 for over a year. I also hold a BSc (Hons) in Psychology! My job at Thrive childcare and education involved caring for and engaging with children from all walks of life, from the ages of 6 months to 5 years old (A job I absolutely loved!). Day to day, I created and got involved in new and engaging child-centred, creative and imaginative activities both indoors and out. My job also included personal care, such as changing and toileting support and overseeing mealtimes positively and safely. Alongside this, I tutored 5 to 15-year-olds in Maths and English at 'Kevs Class Tutoring', focusing not on academic outcomes but on building trusting relationships with parents and children to build confidence in these subjects. In the holidays, I also assisted in creating and running fun activity day camps for the same children, which was lots of fun! My degree in Psychology really kick-started my interest when learning about child development as part of my course, and the importance of a positive, fun and supportive environment and the carers a child is surrounded with. I absolutely love guiding and engaging children, and I find building relationships with both the children and their families such an important and rewarding part of the job. References for both jobs can be provided upon request. Don't hesitate to reach out if the above seems like a good fit for you and your child/children, I look forward to hearing from you! Best wishes, Leila

🌺 Hello and Welcome to April's Pro PlayCare 🌺 A little about myself, I’m originally from Northern California and spent the last seven years living in Hawaii where I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology as well as taking three years of American Sign Language. I am eager to learn Auslan and continue my education in sign language. I made the move to Melbourne July 2025 to begin an exciting new chapter with my husband, who was born and raised here.
