Looking for: Part-time

I have recently moved to Melbourne from a town called Bournemouth in England. I have around 5 years experience in all different types of care! My most recent full time job back home involved working with children in a residential setting - I was there for almost a year and a half before coming to Australia. I also have an undergraduate degree in psychology and a masters in clinical psychology. I am currently nannying for a lovely family on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. This leaves Mondays and Tuesdays free. I ideally wish to keep my weekends free but am happy to help out occasionally if given some notice. I also have a full Victoria drivers license with access to a work car. I would describe myself as a fun, reliable, and hard-working individual. My hobbies include keeping healthy with pilates and the gym, creative activities such as scrapbooking, cooking, and reading. I am open to trying new activities with the children I look after!

Hi! I’m Alchemy — I’m 31, creative, reliable, and have been babysitting on and off for the past 8 years. Most of my experience has been with children aged 7 and up, often in busy households with multiple kids. I’m confident with school drop-offs, morning routines, after-school care, and helping out wherever needed throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and creating a calm, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and feel safe in. While I’ve mostly worked with older children, I’m eager to build more experience with younger age groups and always open to learning and adapting to suit each family’s needs. When I’m not babysitting, I work as a freelance artist and designer — creativity is a big part of my world, and I love bringing that into how I spend time with kids, whether it’s drawing, crafting, or encouraging their imaginations to run wild. I'm available for full days and happy to support your family in whatever way works best — whether that’s keeping things running smoothly at home, helping with meals and tidying, or being a consistent and caring presence during the day. Every family is different, and I love getting to know each child’s unique personality, needs, and rhythm. I value open communication, warmth, and flexibility — and always aim to build genuine connections with both kids and parents. Feel free to get in touch — I’d love to hear more about your family and how I might be able to support you.
