Babysitters in Carlton North, VIC

Hello, I'm Lotta! I'm a Australian-Finnish nanny and textile artist based in North Carlton, where I've lived for 14 years. I'm responsible, playful, creative, and nurturing with a confident and gentle disposition. My experience with children ranges from birth to 11 years old, including caring for 2 under 4 for four years in total now. I value needing to be fully present and feel fortunate to share in their excitement as they explore and discover little and big things about themselves and the world around them from day-to-day. I love supporting parents (new and seasoned) by providing a safe and stimulating environment for their children to grow and flourish. I prioritise learning each individual families needs and offering tailored support, especially when it comes to sleep approach and learning styles. I value mutual respect and being lopped into developmental changes along the way. My expertise includes: • Sleeping and settling, overnight feeds, handling EBM/formula, introducing solids. • Bathing, nappies, eczema treatments, administering basic medications (coloxyl, vitamin D drops, panadol, etc...). • Sensory, nature, musical, sport, and art activities. • Supporting milestones (rolling, crawling, walking, introduction of solids, language development). • Excursions: Parks, gardens, story-time, farmers markets, NGV, Melbourne Museum, Ceres, State Library Kid's Room, 'Bop Along' Music Classes. • Happy to do childcare/kindergarten pick-ups. I'm also available to care for your children at my own child-safe, Montessori-inspired North Carlton terrace house and cottage garden (a popular spot for plant watering). I'm comfortable with all pets (no allergies) and I have two half Devon Rex cats called Atlas & Sol 🐾 I have a WWCC, Police Check, and have completed an in-person Pediatric First Aid & CPR course via Emergecare *completed 7th Dec 2025. My Pertussis/whooping cough vaccine is up to date ✔️⛑️ Happy to contribute to the running of your household by cleaning up after play activities, meals etc... and other light housework (laundry, dishes etc). I enjoy organising, and am very happy to help if there is an area or room that needs a fresh pair of eyes or special attention. As I don't have my full drivers licence, all excursions and pick-ups will be via walking or public transport, which I am well experienced navigating while with little ones, as my references can tell you. 📅 Feel free to reach out to me with any enquiries, including time/day requests not currently listed. Public holiday rates upon request. Weekend rates are $50 per hour day and evening. Looking forward to meeting you and your families. 🌞🏳️‍🌈

Hi, I’m Maddie, I am a friendly, reliable babysitter and rural regional student studying at university in Melbourne. I have my own car and have babysat for local families with multiple children from 18 months old. I hold a Silver Medallion lifesaving award and help with Nippers.

Hi, my name is Bella, and I’m a 21-year-old who loves working with children. I’m responsible and reliable with a fun and outgoing personality.

I have experience caring for children of different ages and always want to have trusting relationships with both kids and parents. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, meals, or homework support.

My name is Abbey, I grew up in country NSW and currently work as a Registered Nurse. I am the oldest of three girls, and love have always had an interest in working with children. I have worked with premature and newborn babies in my role as a RUSON (Registered Undergraduate Student of Nursing). I have learnt different skills from this position and handled many tasks including bottles/feeding regimes, nappy changes and nap routines. My main family in which I have looked after were three girls aged from three, six and twelve. I looked after them occasionally in the morning where I would get them ready for school by helping them get dressed, make them breakfast, brush teeth and do the two younger girls hair, and the parents would take them to school. I mostly looked after them in the afternoon and Saturday mornings. In the afternoon, I would help them with their reading and other homework, make them dinner, participate in bath time and then get them ready for bed. I would also take them to the park if there was time. On Saturday mornings, I would mainly help the girls get ready for their weekend commitments. I would wake them up, make their breakfast, get them ready for ballet, netball etc. and ensure they had everything packed that was needed. I love to take children out and about, and create fun activities for them to do! From going to the park or zoo, to having a babychino at a cafe, baking something at home or painting and craft. I am excited to meet your family and the opportunity to become a part of your child/ren lives.

Hi there, My name is Ruby and I'm currently a University student studying Mechanical Engineering at RMIT. I love working with kids and have been babysitting for multiple years as well as working at a kids sports centre. I have a WWCC and am first aid certified.

Hi! My name is Kate and I have currently deferred my degree for a semester as I obtain my pilates instructor certification. I babysat 2 boys for 2 years. I am organised and punctual. I like sport and will be active in participating with the children.

I am a professional nanny with extensive international experience caring for children of all ages, including toddlers, in London, Taiwan, Mexico, and Australia. Growing up surrounded by children, with a mother who was a kinder garden teacher, I developed a lifelong passion for supporting their growth and well being. I provide nurturing, safe, and engaging care, adapting to each family’s routines and cultural background. I especially enjoy guiding toddlers through play, exploration, and early learning activities that foster their emotional, social, and cognitive development. Reliable, caring, and dedicated, I am committed to creating a joyful and stimulating environment where children feel happy and inspired to learn.

I am a positive, active and confident person with a primary teacher degree. I have a strong passion towards working with children and creating a fun and loving environment.

I have degrees in psychology and early childhood education, and several years' of experience working with children aged 0-5 in kindergarten and long daycare settings. I have also worked with primary school-aged children as a nanny/babysitter, and I have an 11-year-old. I am patient, kind, and joyful, and I love working with children. Some of my favourite activities to do with children are reading books, playing games, making art, exploring the outdoors, and going on outings to places like the museum. I am happy to follow the interests of each child, whether it be reading the same book 20 times or getting on my hands and knees to play with them. My own interests include swimming, yoga, meditation, art, travel, and playing guitar. I speak Spanish as a second language and am more than happy to teach your child some Spanish. I choose not to work with children when they or I have infectious diseases, and I hope you will be on the same page. I did my first aid, asthma and anaphylaxis 2 years ago, so they are all current except for CPR. I'm happy to redo the CPR or the full course if you desire, just let me know. I also have a current WWCC. I also love dogs and am happy to work with families with dogs, including taking them for walks.

If you think your kids would benefit from having an older maternal figure in their life look no further. I am 55 and an empty nester that loves children and supporting families. I have experience as a disability support worker and am a professional stage manager and event manager. I recently graduated as a psychotherapist and focused on neurodivergence in children.

I'm an outgoing, fun individual with an array of babysitting experience. In 2018, I worked at a primary school in England as a teachers assistant, and in 2022 I nannied for a family in Albert Park where my roles involved collecting the 2 boys from school, dropping at various sports, feeding them dinner and packing their lunches for school the next day. On top of this I have done a lot of casual babysitting for families, looking after babies, toddlers and kids. I have recently returned to university to study nursing with the hope of becoming a paediatric nurse!

Hi! I'm Anouk, an international student from Spain studying in Melbourne. I'm the eldest in my family, so taking care of children has always been something I have been involved with. I helped out around my school back home in Málaga with younger classes (5-6 and 11-12 year olds) doing different activities with them, so I'm comfortable with different activities and personalities. I have also done more formal babysitting and would love to start up again. I can do so in English or Spanish, and I'm happy to help out with schoolwork!

**Although I do not have my current WWCC, I am happy to acquire it** Hi! My name is Daryl — I’m 27 years old and a caring, energetic, responsible, and down-to-earth babysitter/nanny who understands how important it is to find the right person to look after your little loved ones. I’ve had experience caring for children of all ages, including my own niece, and I genuinely enjoy this kind of work. I’ve previously worked with two to three families over extended periods, and seeing the children grow from when I first met them has been incredibly rewarding. I have a dorky love for housework, cleaning and keeping things neat and organised — so you can count on me to help keep things running smoothly at home too. I love helping out and take pride in being a steady, supportive presence — both for kids and for parents who need an extra pair of capable hands. If you're looking for someone dependable, easy to work with, and genuinely passionate about caregiving, I'd love to hear from you! A little bit about me: I hold a Bachelor's degree in Marketing and Japanese Studies, as well as a Certificate IV in Real Estate Practice (both in WA & VIC). I've spent the past few years gaining experience in both the Real Estate and Marketing industries, which has helped me build strong communication skills, adaptability, and a professional, people-focused approach. In my spare time, I love going to cafes, walking & exploring, cooking/baking, watching movies and reading or learning history, anthropology & architecture.

Hi! I’m Alanna, a 23 year old Master’s student from South Africa. I love working with children, and have babysat/au paired for the last 5 years in both South Africa and the USA. I’m an outgoing, hard-working, patient, and reliable person, who enjoys the outdoors, running, music, painting, and baking in my spare time. I’ve looked after all genders from ages 1 to 15, and I engage myself in all the activities from homework, nap time, playtime, meals, doctor’s appointments - you name it! I strive to create a supportive, fun, and safe environment for the kids, and enjoy learning from them as much as they learn from me. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your little ones :)

Hi, I am Khrys and I am a 22 year old Ukrainian international student at the Uni of Melbourne. I am looking for a part-time/casual babysitting. I have experience babysitting a 6-month old and a 7 year old. However, I also have two younger brothers and two younger cousins whom I pretty much raised. I am also a godmother of 2 kids, and I have an Eastern European mother (who taught me everyhting). Basically I adore children of any age and have a bunch of experience. I do not have a car, however, or a driver's license, if it is a dealbreaker for you. I speak 6 languages so more than happy to tutor your kids while babysitting them. Looking forward to meeting you!

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! :)

I am a responsible and caring person that enjoys spending time with children. Although I don't have formal paid childcare experience, I have hands-on experience caring for kids. During my exchange year abroad, I lived with a host family who had young children and I regularly helped look after them. Also, a few years ago, I volunteered at a kindergarten, where I helped supervise activities. These experiences have helped me learn to become more responsible and attentive in caring for them.
