Hi there! I’m a 29 year old experienced babysitter and former art teacher (Kindergarten to Year 12) from Sydney. I bring a calm, warm and energetic presence to every family I work with.

Hi! My name is Edda, I’m 20 years old, and I would love to help your family with babysitting. I have plenty of experience working with children, as I’ve been an au pair for a family with two lovely kids, aged 2 and 6. I picked up the 2-year-old from kindergarten every day, spent time playing with and comforting her, and made sure she felt happy and safe until her parents came home. I also helped around the house, cooked dinner, and took on a big-sister role within the family. In addition, I’ve worked full-time in a kindergarten, supporting children’s development and helping them feel secure even without their parents present. I genuinely love being around children and have always been surrounded by them. I’m looking for a part-time role, mainly afternoons and evenings, as I also work as a retail sales assistant 3–4 times a week. I’m fluent in English and would love to bring care, energy, and enthusiasm to your family.

Hi, I’m Alice. I’m originally from England and have a background in childcare alongside previous professional experience as a GIS Analyst and environmental consultant. I currently work as an OSHC educator, supporting children with after-school routines, activities, and supervision. Prior to this, I worked as an au pair in Sydney, caring for three boys aged 6 to 14, and have built up over seven years of experience working with children in both seasonal and long-term roles. I’m confident caring for children of all ages and am experienced in managing daily routines, assisting with homework, and creating a safe, engaging environment. I’m also happy to help with light household tasks, including cooking, tidying, and general organisation. I hold an Australian driver’s licence, a valid Working With Children Check, police check, paediatric first aid certificate, and a food safety handling certificate. I would describe myself as reliable, adaptable, and approachable. I am able to be calm and reassuring when needed, while also bringing energy and fun to activities depending on each child’s personality and needs.

Looking for any weekend/evening babysitting opportunities. I am enthusiastic, energetic and very keen to eventually pursue youth work at some point in my career. Having returned from working with children in Canada, I find it rewarding and meaningful and am looking for available childcare opportunities alongside my current full time position. I am 25 years old and gained considerable childcare experience from a gap year placement working overseas in England in a boarding house caring for 18 ten year old boys. I am the eldest of 10 cousins and have been looking after babies and young children since I was 12 as well as doing various babysitting jobs for local families over the years. Most recently, I returned from Canada where I was working in a role with X Movement. We worked across primary schools in the greater Toronto area facilitating in-school extra curricular programs with an emphasis on mental wellbeing through mindfulness, movement and mateship. I have completed a significant amount of community service working in a after school care in Beecroft and have qualifications from lifesaving Australia as well as my first aid certificate. I also coached a young netball team for 2 years in 2013/2014. I feel confident working with children of all ages and have a substantial amount of flexibility in the evenings as I am currently working from home.

AVAILABLE THURSDAY AND FRIDAY! (+ occasional babysitting) Bonjour families, My name is Océane, I am 29 years old and originally from France. I am currently available on Thursdays and Fridays and looking for a long-term nanny position with a warm and trusting family. After completing a Master’s degree in Business Management with a specialization in Tourism, I worked in project management and corporate sales before deciding to follow my passion for working with children. I have been babysitting regularly since I was 18 years old, always alongside my studies, which has given me many years of consistent, hands-on experience with children of different ages. I then spent a year and a half in the United States as an au pair, where I cared for three children (5 months, 2.5 years, and 6.5 years old at the time of my arrival) for one year, and then for a 7-month-old baby in another family for six months. This experience was incredibly enriching and sparked my strong interest in child development. I then moved to New Zealand for 15 months, where I worked as a nanny for three main families, caring for children between 1 and 2 years old. One of the 2-year-olds welcomed a baby sister, giving me the opportunity to care for a newborn and support her development until she was 5 months old. I am now based in Sydney, where I continue to work as a nanny and babysitter for wonderful families. I currently work Mondays to Wednesdays with a little boy who was 4 months old when I started. I also cared for a 2-year-old girl who now attends daycare five days a week, though I still do her pickups at the beginning of the week. I will begin studying Early Childhood Education and Care in mid-May, as I am planning to build my long-term career in this field, ideally becoming a Play Therapist or working in education. I am caring, reliable, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I truly enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive. I make it a priority to take children outdoors every day and organize engaging activities such as playgroups, museum visits, music classes, library trips, and other fun and educational experiences suited to their age and interests. I would be happy to provide my CV and references upon request. I would love to find a family with whom I can build a strong and lasting relationship. I look forward to hearing from you. A bientôt, Oceane
