Babysitters in Southbank, VIC

Hi! I'm a university student currently studying a Bachelor of Science (Astrophysics and Maths) & Bachelor of Arts (Music and Film) and looking to do some babysitting! 🥰 I love kids and have so much fun taking care of them! I have lots of experience watching my nephew and nieces, and all my friends’ when they were growing up. I'm also a dancer (contemporary, hiphop) and a musician (piano, guitar, vocals). I'm comfortable helping with homework, making snacks and meals, taking care of pets, light cleaning, and more. I can even offer tutoring if needed! Growing up with five siblings, I am reliable, responsible, organized, and value good communication. As I am currently a full-time student, my availability varies but I am pretty flexible! Can do early mornings/late nights as well. Looking forward to the opportunity to bring joy and support to your family!😊💕

My name is Nat, and I have nearly nine years of experience working as an Early Childhood Teacher. I was a room leader for children aged 0–3 years, where I provide attentive, loving care and support each child’s development through play-based learning. I have a deep understanding of the needs of young children and am skilled at creating safe, nurturing environments where they feel secure and confident to explore. I’m passionate about building strong, trusting relationships with children and families, and I bring patience, warmth, and reliability to every aspect of my caregiving.

Hi! My name is Selma, and I’m a 19-year-old Arts student at the University of Melbourne. I’m very close with my family and have a younger brother, so spending time with kids has always come naturally to me. I’m kind, patient, and love creating a warm and fun environment where children feel safe and happy. I’m looking for casual babysitting work around my uni schedule (I have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays), so I’m quite flexible on other days. In my spare time, I enjoy going for walks, reading, watching movies, and listening to music. I’d love to help out!

Hi! My name is Maria D’Alessandro and I've strong experience working as a babysitter with different families in Melbourne. I’ve cared for children of various ages, helping with feeding, bathing, playtime, outdoor activities and bedtime routines. I’m currently studying Early Childhood Education, and I’m very passionate about working with kids. I’m responsible, warm, patient, and always focused on safety and emotional care. I speak both English and Spanish and adapt easily to each family’s needs. I’m available on Sundays, Tuesdays and some weekday mornings. I’d love to support your family and make your children feel happy and cared for!

My name is Emma, and babysitting has been a significant side gig for me since I was 14. I have also worked as a lifeguard and consistently volunteered at the youth theatre program back home in Townsville. With kids, I am bubbly and fun, always willing to get dirty with them, play dress-up, or help with homework. My background is in safety, and I make it my top priority because I believe you cannot have fun unless you’re doing it safely. I have access to my own car, where a car seat can be installed, and I am confident and comfortable using the Melbourne public transport system. I am also happy to walk to parks, schools, or other activities if and when required.

I genuinely love being around children — their energy, imagination, and honesty are things I deeply admire. Babysitting, for me, isn’t just about watching over a child; it’s about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they feel seen, heard, and cared for. Growing up, I was always the go-to person in my family and among friends when someone needed help with their kids. I found such joy in reading bedtime stories, helping with homework, or simply listening to the wild tales kids come up with. I believe that every moment spent with a child is an opportunity to support their growth, encourage creativity, and offer kindness. I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s child very seriously, and I approach it with a calm, patient, and compassionate attitude. Being able to offer peace of mind to a parent while giving their child a fun, loving, and safe experience means a great deal to me. I’d love the chance to support your family and be someone you can count on and trust.

I love engaging children through crafts, music, stories, and play, and I’m happy to help with homework, cooking, chores, and pets. If you're looking for a kind, capable, and creative caregiver, I’d love to connect and see how I can support your family

Hello dear families, My name is Vanessa. I’m 33 years old and I moved to Melbourne one year ago.

Hello! I’m originally from Northern California and spent the last seven years living in Hawaii. I’ve recently made the move to Melbourne to begin an exciting new chapter with my fiancé, who was born and raised here. I’ve been working with children since I was 15, when I started as a swim instructor for all ages, from babies to adults. For the past seven years, I’ve worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), supporting children with special needs in both one-on-one and group settings. My work has focused on helping kids learn, grow, communicate, and thrive through data-driven and compassionate care. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and have completed three years of American Sign Language (ASL). I’m now eager to begin learning Auslan and continue supporting families here in any way I can :)
