Hi, I'm Siena! I have partially completed an Early Childhood Education certificate and have hands-on experience supporting children in both in home and childcare centre environments.

I genuinely love caring for and supporting children, and I place a lot of importance on their emotional wellbeing, safety, and daily routines. I enjoy creating a calm, supportive, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, respected, and cared for.

Hi my name is Charlotte, I am currently studying to be a primary School teacher and I love being around children. I am a very sporty individual and play netball and football. I am currently studying but can be flexible with my days to cater for you and your family.

I’m Jacqueline, a mature 18 year old who is interested in pursuing a career in healthcare especially working with kids. I’ve been babysitting and doing support work for 3 years. I’ve created strong bonds with all the families I work for and have always had great experiences. I will interact and encourage creative play for your children as well as tidying up and cleaning any messes made. I am on my red P plates and own a car that I can use.

I have worked with the same family for 5 years, looking after twin boys who are now 9 years old and a 3 year old girl (who I have looked after since she was a newborn). I also have recently graduated with a Bachelor of Counselling. I love kids, I love to cook and I love to engage kids in meaningful, creative play.

I’m a 44yr old mum of 20 year old boy/girl twins who have kept life interesting from day one. Between medical adventures, neurodivergent brains and plenty of curveballs, our house has never been boring. Raising them has taught me adaptability, calm under pressure, creative problem-solving and how to advocate effectively when it matters. Structure, humour and a lot of persistence have helped us navigate the tricky parts… and today I’m incredibly proud of the capable, independent young adults they’ve become. I am a kind and caring person, and really enjoy looking after children.

I'm an energetic, responsible, and easygoing person who has always loved spending time with children. I currently work part-time as a Paediatric Nurse, typically doing around four shifts per week, and I’m looking to take on some casual babysitting during my days off. Before starting my nursing career, I worked as a part-time nanny for over four years. During that time, I cared for children aged from 6 weeks to 6 years, including twins and multiple siblings. I also have 12 months of experience working in a crèche, further strengthening my ability to support children in a safe, nurturing environment. Thanks to my nursing roster being set about two months in advance, I’m able to plan and commit to babysitting shifts ahead of time. I’d love the opportunity to help out your family. I hope to hear from you soon!
