Babysitters in Gardenvale, VIC

Hi everyone!!! My name is Tess and I just finished school at Loreto Mandeville Hall in Toorak, with a 93.85 atar and awards over for study scores over 40 (Geography, English and Health/Human Development.) I am currently taking a gap year from uni, so I have a lot of time to work. I’ve developed strong communication and leadership skills through school captain roles and community involvement. I have led kindergarten students in skill development and supported various fundraising activities for underprivileged children. As well as having babysitting experience for a range of different aged children all throughout school. I’m confident in handling responsibilities with care and patience as I believe I am a super friendly as bubbly person who loves to meet new people! I have my working with children's check/police check and a drivers license.

Hi everyone, I am a current uni student who has flexible hours at the moment. I have been babysitting from the age of 13 and have multiple parent references available if needed. I have been working at a recreational gymnastic club in bayside for 4 years now, teaching kids from 0-16 in groups of 10+, so I have a wide experience with children as well as CPR and first aid qualifications. I not only love working with kids, but I am also very capable of helping clean up, cook dinner and get the kids home from school ect. Due to other jobs and uni timetables My schedule does change up a bit but I look forward from hearing from you!

I am a retired mum of a 19 year old. It will be a little while before I get any grandies hopefully, so I need little people in my life. As the eldest of 5 siblings I’d always hoped I’d have a few children but as a result of finding my husband later in my life I was only lucky enough to have one. I am fit, fun loving and adore children. I’d love to work with your family.

Hi, I’m Olivia, a 20-year-old Marketing student at Monash University with a big heart for kids and a love for health and fitness. I’ve been fortunate to gain plenty of experience working with children and parents alike; babysitting for local families, my employment at Fun Fresh Foods (school canteen and catering work), and Brighton Beach Football Club. I pride myself on being warm, responsible, and engaging, always creating a safe and fun environment for children. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or preparing healthy snacks, I’m passionate about making every moment enjoyable and stress-free for your family.

I previously worked in accounts jobs in offices. However, when COVID 19 emerged I was having trouble getting work so I decided to study Childcare as I realize there is a need for childcare workers. I have worked at OAC Armadale as a permanent educator. However, now I am working in an office fulltime and looking at other options such as Casual work. I have 2 daughters aged 20 and 23. Whilst I was at OAC I tried to introduce children to fun learning experiences and always made sure they felt safe and secure inside and outside the room. I enjoyed making them feel safe and secure and introducing them to interesting learning activities.

Hi there! I am very excited about meeting and getting to know you. ABOUT ME: I have been providing childcare over the past 22 years, and I have looked after more than 50 children in this time. The last 9 of those years, I have been a Nanny. I have worked with many different families: with 1-4 children; twins with a younger sibling, all girls, all boys, brothers & sisters; with an age range of 9mths - 12 years old. As all children & families are different I like to stay adaptable, to meet the needs of the unique situation. Some children are runners, some are quite contemplators, others always need to be crafting and creating big cardboard constructions, while another is quite happy to sit while colouring in and drawing hrs on end. However they all ask questions non stop, lols. And I love that because of their curiosity, I too learn; from having to google answers to the questions I don’t have answers for, e.g. I now know the oldest living animal is the Greenland shark, and it is guessed to have a lifespan of 250-500 yrs. With the current oldest one guessed to be 300 years old! But I only learned this because one child I looked after LOVED the ocean and all its wonders. :) I find I lean towards the Montessori Method of teaching children. I follow the theme of their current interest for play, games and conversations, and I like to incorporate their current obsession, be it space or dinosaurs into our word & math games and everything else we do together. MORNING ROUTINE; breakfast, lunch boxes, school bag packing, day-care/kinder/school drop offs -For the little ones when at home and not at daycare/kindy. I like to have our week planned. Be it excursions to the zoo, park, an indoor play center, library time or classes that helps their development: that the parents have enrolled them into, or I have found that the Mum’s & Dad’s like; e.g. Gymbaroo, Ready steady go, All Sports etc., to activities we can do at the house like baking or painting or even a playdate with their friend/s. HOUSE MANAGEMENT; groceries, maintenance of pantry & basic medicine (ie expiry dates & organisation), light laundry duties, light house keeping, tiding up after myself & the little ones, keeping the kitchen clean & hygienic, school holiday & pupil free day planning, meal planning, food & meal prep (dietary requirements taken into consideration) multi-tasking and other Ad-Hoc tasks. AFTERNOON ROUTINE; networking with other parents & carers at the children’s school- that the children are friends with or do extra curriculum’s with, extracurricular coordination (this is where the networking can sometimes help with car pooling & swapping weeks), planning of play dates, supervise-assistance with homework and practice for their extra curriculum’s. With additional extras from me if wanted/needed or time permits (eg. Music theory, maths etc.) ***I have help children further develop their music skills with my attention and knowledge than what they get in 1 30min class a week. And I have helped with development of their Math & literacy skills. HOWEVER my proudest achievement was some how managing to help my French charge (when an AuPair in Paris) go from an almost F (from her former AuPair) in her French Class to an A. While I was only at a very basic beginner level with my own French skills. EVENING ROUTINE; Shower/bath time, dinner, oral hygiene, an evening game (if time permits) and attend their unique bedtime routine.

Hi! My name is Amy, and I’m currently in my third year of university at Monash. I’m a responsible, friendly, patient, and engaging 20-year-old who absolutely loves working with children. I’ve had extensive experience caring for kids of all ages and have been casually babysitting since 2020. Over the years, I’ve become confident in cooking, tidying up, and coming up with fun and creative activities to keep children entertained and happy. Previously, I worked as a swim instructor, where I taught water safety and basic swimming skills to children ranging from babies (with parents) to 12-year-olds. This role helped me develop strong management skills, as I regularly worked with groups of up to six children—keeping them safe, engaged, and confident in the water. If you're interested, I’d be more than happy to offer casual swimming lessons too! In addition to babysitting and swim teaching, I’ve been coaching netball for the past five years, working with kids aged 10 to 17. This has given me even more experience in building rapport, encouraging teamwork, and supporting children to feel confident and included. While I take on the role of a coach and mentor, I also focus on building genuine connections with the players to ensure they feel comfortable and valued. I have a current Working With Children Check, a driver’s license and my own car, and I’m fully vaccinated (including against COVID-19). I’m available to start as soon as needed and would love to chat further or provide references if you’re interested! Feel free to reach out with any questions, I look forward to hearing from you :)
