Babysitters in Leichhardt, NSW

Hi, I’m Harper! 😊 I’m 23 and a caring, reliable and friendly babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I’ve been looking after children my whole life, starting with my younger siblings and continuing through babysitting for families. I also have experience working in support work, which has taught me how to confidently manage a household, prepare meals, keep children safe and create a calm, positive environment. I’ve studied psychology, youth counselling and mental health, which has given me a strong understanding of children’s cognitive and emotional development and how important it is to support each child as an individual. I’m happy to help with school runs, meals, homework, playtime, bedtime routines and keeping the house tidy. I’m creative, patient and love getting children involved in fun activities rather than just putting them in front of a screen. I hold my WWCC, First Aid and CPR and take the responsibility of caring for children very seriously. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can trust and rely on!

i am a bubbly outgoing person who loves working with kids. I’m currently a swim instructor (ages 4mo-7y) and I’ve been working with kids for about 2 years. Once I complete my degree I intend to go into child psychology. I am extremely passionate about ensuring childhood of newer generations are as magical as can be.

My passion for fostering a nurturing and stimulating environment makes me an excellent choice for families seeking a reliable and caring babysitter.

Hi! Im Vye, I am currently studying my medical undergraduate with plans to pursue a future postgraduate in Paediatrics, and my Philosophy degree simply for a passion of understanding humanity. I have had many jobs during university and high school and found that nannying is the one that feels most suited to me and my personality. I am kind, bubbly and outgoing, but am the eldest sibling in my family and have inherited a stern nature when it comes to knowing whats right and how to go about it. I have three years of experience with ages between 6 months - 5 years old. I am a big advocate for creative play without the need for screens (:

I’m Elyn, a warm, patient and reliable nanny based in Petersham. With experience as a babysitter, teacher assistant and volunteer in orphanages, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from tiny babies to curious toddlers and school-aged kids. Childcare has always been a meaningful part of my life. I love creating calm, engaging and safe spaces where children feel supported, valued and free to explore. Families describe me as nurturing, responsible and very communicative. My approach is grounded in respect, empathy and positive guidance — always following each child’s rhythm, needs and personality. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education, which helps me bring fresh, development-focused ideas into my work. I’m comfortable with pets and happy to assist with light household tasks to make your day easier. My goal is simple: to care for your little ones with the same love, patience and intention that I would want for my own future children.

Hi, I'm Chiara I'm a third-year Primary Education student with a genuine love for working with children.

I'm easy-going, patient, and dependable, and I enjoy keeping kids busy with fun activities, outdoor play, crafts, reading, or helping with homework. I love building genuine connections with the children I care for and creating a happy, safe environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I have a Working With Children Check, First Aid, CPR, and Child Protection training. I’m also pet-friendly and happy to help in homes with pets. Additionally I'd be happy to help/support with any homework or school based work!!

I have been a children’s art teacher for a number of years, now I work in administration in an art school. Looking after younger people has always given me joy. Having started babysitting at 14, I have lots of experience.

I am comfortable and experienced with pets. I live in Petersham. I have been working in traffic control for the past 6 months, but I would like to go back to nannying as it is more fulfilling and so I can study more.

I’m a compassionate, kind and empathetic person who genuinely enjoys working with children and supporting families. I have around 10 years of experience across child development, youth work, community services and government-funded organisations, working with children, young people and families in a range of settings. I hold a Certificate IV in Youth Work, Diploma of Community Services and Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, all completed through TAFE. I have also recently completed a Diploma of Sustainable Living and am continuing to learn and develop my knowledge in sustainability. My work experience has given me a strong understanding of trauma-informed care, child safety, duty of care, client-centred practice and strengths-based approaches. I believe every child is different, so I like to understand what they enjoy, what they're good at and what makes them feel comfortable. I then tailor the way I work around the individual child. I have worked across State Government, Local Government and government-funded and community organisations, including the Australian Red Cross Young Parents Program and a residential facility supporting teenagers with babies. These experiences have involved working in environments where child safety, responsibility, boundaries and duty of care are extremely important. I also have personal experience caring for children of different ages. I have two younger sisters who came into our family when I was 15, so caring for children and being involved in family life has been a part of my life for a long time. I have a Surf Life Saving background and am a strong swimmer, with relevant water-safety and First Aid experience. I’m comfortable around water and understand the importance of being vigilant and responsible when caring for children. Outside of my professional experience, I’m a very creative and curious person. I enjoy sustainability, gardening and permaculture, and have a background in textiles. I love arts and crafts, painting, collaging, cooking and baking, reading, getting outdoors and trying different sports. I’m very much an all-rounder and am always happy to give something new a go. I also understand how busy working households can be. For me, the role is about making parents' lives easier, while providing children with someone who is caring, reliable, responsible and engaged. I’m happy to follow the routines and structure that work for your family, communicate clearly with parents and work collaboratively with you. Whether it’s helping with homework, getting outside, creating something together, preparing food, playing a game, attending activities or simply being a supportive and reliable person for your child, I enjoy being involved and getting to know what makes each child tick.

Hi! I'm Claudia and I'm a uni student at University of Sydney doing a Bachelor of Primary Education. I have reactivated my profile in my penultimate year of study to offer services of ad hoc babysitting and primary age tutoring. To sum my career path; I was inspired to switch degrees (from an Arts/Sciences degree) after spending time with my regular nannying family, working with the kids doing their online schoolwork during the first lockdown. I had been babysitting and nannying for nearly 5 years at that point and I decided I didn't want my career to diverge from work I loved so much. I also had wonderful nannies and babysitters growing up so I understand the importance of a wonderful carer and would love to provide that. I finished up working for a lovely family with two boys in the inner west in 2022. I started looking after them when they were just 7 and 10 in 2017; being grown and in high school it was a joy to see them grow up and outgrow me. In 2023 I started with a family in Lane Cove, with two lovely boys. I left in 2024 to pursue work as a Teacher's Aide for students on the autism spectrum. My availability is a little in flux with my university timetable from semester to semester. I am open to ad hoc work, casual babysitting, and day time childcare as needed. My availability does also increase drastically for daytime hours during semester breaks from June-August and November-February, so there is usually some flexibility in what I can offer. With regards to tutoring; I studied Maths, English, French and Art in high school, and furthered my science and languages studies for several years at university before switching to Teaching. In my education studies I have completed core units in mathematics, english, and science and I am current on curriculum materials and teaching approaches. For additional pay per/h I can do Laundry - Vacuuming - General tidy up - Kitchen/Bathroom clean. I have previously regularly babysat for ages 4+, including siblings. I have had some experience with 10 month and 2 year old, mostly in the evenings. All of my past babysitting has involved cooking dinners, doing bath time, bed time stories and runs to the park to keep them entertained :) I'm more than happy with pets. As well as being up to date with COVID vaccinations, I have my licence (and am looking to purchase own car in the near future).

Hi! I’m a responsible, caring, and friendly babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I have just graduated from high school and will be going into primary school teaching at uni next year. I’m reliable, patient, and always aim to create a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable and supported. I’m happy to help with playtime, homework, bedtime routines, meal preparation, and light household tasks if needed. I’m organised, trustworthy, and understand the importance of keeping parents updated while they’re away. I enjoy building strong connections with children and making sure they have a great while staying safe.
