Babysitters in Paddington, NSW

Experience in childhood education as a tutor and debating / public speaking coach. Paddington local, with experience babysitting in the community. I love cooking and arts and crafts.

I am a cardiology nurse at St Vincent's Hospital and have worked there for three years. I have over ten years of experience with nannying/babysitting and genuinely enjoy getting to know new families while creating a safe, calm and comfortable environment for children. I live in Paddington with my eight year old cocker spaniel Lola and I'm available for casual or ongoing babysitting.

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 am passionate about the world of children and enjoy art, colouring, reading children's books and watching children's films. I have watched with a 36 month read one of Sesame Street’s story books in a rhythmic sing-song way. Children are highly inspirational; us adults can learn a lot by simply watching them play. I am able to cook and I love to cook great meals as soup heath snacks and nutritious meals. Ideally, I'm looking for a permanent position but will consider casual or part-time work. I have excellent references and will provide them upon request. Please feel free to contact me +61 448 326 975 Kind Regards Bella

Hi, my name is Thilde. I’m 24 years old and I’m from Sweden. I graduated in May 2025 with a degree in International Business, and during college I also played soccer. I have experience working with kids in coaching settings, and I’m very used to taking responsibility from growing up helping take care of my younger brother and other kids in my life. This has helped me become patient, reliable, and supportive. I’m a very social person who loves sports, staying active, and working with others. I enjoy being part of a team and bringing positive energy wherever I go. I’m currently looking for babysitting opportunities in Sydney and would love to connect with families who are looking for a caring, responsible, and energetic babysitter. I’d be happy to hear from you! Kindly, Thilde

I’ve got over 10 years of babysitting experience and have worked as a vet nurse, personal assistant and most recently a teaching assistant in London. I’ve now moved to Sydney and hope to study Primary Teaching in 2027. I love spending time with kids, helping them learn and keeping things fun but calm. I’m organised, easy-going and confident with children of all ages. Families often say I’m reliable, warm and nice to have around. I’m available for casual, flexible babysitting and happy to help with routines, reading, playtime or just making life a bit easier. I appreciate openness with expectations but also like to have an idea of what is “normal/routine” for them.

I have had the privilege of traveling to Africa twice to volunteer with organizations focused on helping children, which has deepened my understanding of the importance of early childhood development and the need for specialized care. * Stong background in Psychology - specialized in ADD & ADHD * International Drivers License + used to drive in Australia * Grew up as a middle child in a family of 5 - understand family dynamics very well! * Immediate start - Full-time flexible (except Fridays) Would love to meet you and your family and see if we are a match together!!

I am 23 years old and have a strong passion for all things health and wellness, and I love spending time outdoors and love animals. I’m a motivated, caring person who enjoys helping out wherever I can — from looking after kids to helping with washing, ironing, cooking, and homework. I absolutely love to cook and take pride in creating a happy, organised home environment. I’ve spent the past three years nannying three wonderful boys (now 14, 13, and 9).

I spent four years with a family of three, supporting their baby brother from infancy and assisting with school drop-offs, activities, and routines.

I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can thrive, and I would be thrilled to be a caring and reliable resource for your family.

Bonjour! My name is Océane, I'm 29 and I'm from France 🇫🇷 I am currently a nanny for a 11 month old lovely baby boy 4 days a week in Chatswood (I know him since his 3 month old) and for a 2 year old lovely girl once a week in Alexandria. I will be available all day on Wednesdays and for occasional afternoon, evening or weekend babysitting. I am going to start studying Early Childhood Éducation and Care in July 2026 and I am so excited about that! I was a nanny in Wellington, NZ for 1 year and work for some wonderful families! I was looking after an adorable 1 year old girl 3 days a week and a 2 and half year old boy the other 2 days of the week. Occasionally, I was looking after his little sister who was born in December 2024 and whom I have been watching develop since she was born. I was also a nanny for a 1 year old boy last year in full time. I have also done occasional and regular babysitting for children aged 6 month to 9 during weekends and evenings. I was an au pair in the United States for a year and a half. My first year was in Seattle, WA, where I looked after 3 children aged 5 months, 2 and a half years and 6 and a half years when I arrived. I then spent 6 months with another family in New York, where I looked after a little girl who was 7 months old when I arrived. It was an extraordinary experience and I learnt a lot! I did a lot of baby-sitting while I was studying. I've also babysat for several families with children of all ages, from 5 months to 12 years. I've always loved children and sharing time and activities with them. Looking forward to hear from you, A bientôt 😊
