I’m happy to assist with meals, bedtime routines, school pickups, and light household tasks. I'm very active and have a fun and sporty personality. With a background in communications, I’m highly organised and a great communicator with both kids and parents. I’d love to support your family! Fully First Aid trained and full driving license.

I am confident with all ages, and have great skill in house management aswell as childcare. I am kind, calm and nurturing- looking after children is my passion. I am really looking forward to hearing from you!

I’m a responsible, fun, and reliable babysitter who genuinely loves children. I bring a calm and positive attitude and pride myself on creating a safe, comfortable environment. I always ensure to read the child's needs first by observing what they love to do - whether that's games, crafts, outdoor activities, or creating make believe scenarios.

Safety is always my top priority, and I communicate clearly with parents to ensure their peace of mind.

Hey there, I'm Hana. I'm 25 and I absolutely love working with kids of all ages. It's incredibly rewarding to see them learn and grow every step of the way. I'm a big fan of getting creative, and I'm always up for trying out fun art projects with the little ones. Plus, I'm all about healthy eating!

Parents can trust me to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where their children can thrive, learn, and have fun. I'm also available for full-time nannying, so you can rely on me to provide consistent care and support for their little ones. Throughout my experience providing childcare services for several families, I have refined my skills in organising and caring for children, managing household tasks, assisting with homework, and even looking after pets. I had the privilege of nannying a delightful 3-year-old boy for a family over the course of a year. During this time, I closely followed his daily routine, providing early literacy and numerology activities, fostering gross motor skills development, has deepened my understanding of child development and provided me with opportunities to engage in outdoor activities and lead creative endeavours. I've also gained valuable experience working at The Cottage, an after-school care program at Glenmore Road Public School. My responsibilities included caring for young children, preparing meals, maintaining cleanliness, organising outdoor activities, and leading creative projects. Through this role, I've built a strong network of satisfied families who continue to entrust me with their childcare needs through ongoing babysitting arrangements. What sets me apart as a candidate for your family is not just my experience and skills, but also my genuine commitment to creating a nurturing and supportive environment for children to thrive in. I am reliable, responsible, and dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of the children under my care. Please contact me if you are interested and live in the Eastern Suburbs, Sydney.

Hello, I’m a year 3 primary school teacher currently and looking for holiday work over the school holidays. Pretty flexible with days :) i have all checks needed :)

In 2008 I came to Australia from Brazil to study English and Business at the Business College CBD and faculty of education and social work. 
 I am committed, polite and respectful of people's time and personal space. I'm punctual and always pay attention to different styles of parenting, as it helps me to be the best nanny I can be.

I have a lot of experience working with children. I spent 7 months in Sydney as an au pair, where I took care of a 3-year-old girl. In London, I looked after two children aged 2 and 4 for a month. I have also worked as an activity leader at a summer tennis camp, where I played tennis with the kids and helped organize activities. In addition, I completed two university internships of 250 hours each, one of which involved working with children with disabilities. I have extensive experience with children thanks to my first degree in Sports Science, and I developed strong communication skills through my second degree in Communication. Thank for reading until here!

Hello! My name is Carola, nice to meet you! I’m from Argentina, and I’ve been working as a nanny on and off since 2019. My first experience was with a family in Rosario, my hometown. I worked with them for two years. I took care of two children: one from age 3 to 5, and the younger sibling from newborn until age 2. I moved to Rio de Janeiro afterwards, and while I was living there, I also worked with several families—some with newborn babies, others with older children. I have experience taking care of siblings (I have looked after up to 3 kids simultaneously) and working with children from 0 to 8 years old. In my work, I really enjoy talking with the children, playing games or sports, going for walks, playing guitar (if possible and allowed), cooking…overall I like creating a fun, caring environment for them, always adjusting to the needs and personalities. I also have knowledge of healthy nutrition from the very first solid food (BLW/AC feeding), and I completed a first aid course. I’m currently living in Rushcutters Bay area and looking for either a regular fixed job or occasional babysitting work. For references, I have the contact details of all the families I have worked with and would be happy to share them with you so you can cross references with them and clear out any doubts you might have as of course I understand, choosing a caretaker for your kids It´s not a light task. In addition to English and Spanish, I too speak fluent French and Portuguese. I also have basic knowledge of German, Italian and Russian (meaning even though I cannot yet have a full grammar correct conversation I can effectively communicate with small children using simple though straightforward vocabulary) If you are interested in scheduling an introductory meeting, I would be happy to hear from you!
