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 (:

Hello, my name is Giovana, I am 26 years old and I am from Brazil. I moved to Sydney in November 2024 to experience a new culture and improve my English. I am currently studying Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care because I have a passion for working with children. I am a caring, patient, and responsible person, and I enjoy supporting children’s learning, development, and wellbeing.

Hi parents! My name is Aliyah, I am a 21 year old second-year uni student studying a Bachelor of Nursing at UTS. I have had previous babysitting experience with children ages 1.5 - 10 years old and have worked for 3 different families. I have also worked as a volunteer assistant at a school, working in the preschool and first grade for 2 years. During my time at the school, I learned that it is most important to immerse children in creativity and also involve them in tasks such as cooking and baking, which I have found promotes development. I also grew up in a house full of kids, as I have three nieces and one nephew who are between the ages of 1 - 5 that I frequently babysit. I can do laundry, house chores and cook meals. I am currently available 2 - 3 days a week and can work on weekends; however, my schedule is subject to change on certain days. Please feel free to contact me for additional details and relevant documents.

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 Macy, a friendly, responsible and caring 19-year-old who loves working with children. I’m reliable, patient and enjoy creating a fun, safe and positive environment for kids of all ages.

Hello, my name is Claudia and I am an early childhood teacher. I have been working in the field of education for over 20 years! I am excited about this new shift in my life. I love nature and the outdoors. I am looking forward to making new connections with new families.

Hi parents! I am based in the inner west (but happy to travel further) and available for babysitting and nannying. I have superb experience babysitting for many families for well over a decade. I worked at a party play centre as a children's host and entertainer for five years and have cared for children from 6 months to 13 years old. I have a wonderful list of references who you can get in contact with. I'm reliable, creative and caring. Please feel free to get in touch!

Hello! I'm Nicole, a 20 year old international uni student. I love kids, I am passionate about education in general but especially early and youth education. Fun fact about me is I have 9 siblings, so we are 10 kids in my family; 5 girls and 5 boys! I already do babysitting on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and I am looking to pick up extra shifts where available. I am also a Sunday School Teacher at my church and I have lots of nephews and nieces, my elder sisters have families so I really enjoy being around kids, they are my most favorite humans :3

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.

Next to looking after the children, I can help out with house duties, running errands and preparing meals for the whole family, And of course happy to help wherever I can for babysitting nights. In my personal time I love to spend time with my friends/Sydney family, cook/bake, doing puzzles, colouring in, looking after my plant collection, listening to music, going into nature & photography. I have a WWCC, police check, Australian citizenship, drivers license, fully vaccinated and happy to obtain a new first aid certificate but of course know all the basics/needs a parent would have too.

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 friendly, reliable and caring person with extensive experience working with children of different ages. I have done a lot of babysitting over the years, as well as working as a childcare activity leader in holiday centres and as a supervisor in a high school. I have also provided private tutoring, which has helped me develop patience, responsibility and good communication skills. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn and keeping them entertained in a safe and positive environment. I am sociable, attentive and adaptable, and I always make sure children feel comfortable, happy and listened to.

I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Media & Communications at the University of Sydney and living at college, which keeps me busy and deeply engaged in a vibrant community. Alongside my studies, I currently work at a boutique in Double Bay and also assist in the brand's operations centre in Rosebery. Working across both customer-facing retail and behind-the-scenes operations has helped me develop strong organisational, communication and multitasking skills. As the youngest employee across both environments, I've learned to adapt quickly, take initiative and confidently manage a wide range of responsibilities. Beyond that, I've always had a genuine passion for working with kids. With over 4 years of experience babysitting and nannying children aged 1–13, I've built a reputation for being reliable, punctual and proactive. Growing up as the youngest of four siblings (with three older brothers!) taught me independence and responsibility early on, and I often helped manage the household from a young age. I hold a driver's licence and police check, and I now have more flexibility in my schedule to dedicate time to families who need ongoing support. On top of childcare, I also offer tutoring in primary subjects, drawing on my academic background after achieving academic honours in many aspects of my schooling.

I’ve worked in customer service for around five years and have more recently been doing babysitting as well. I’m reliable, friendly, and social, and I really enjoy ocean swims, going for walks, and hand embroidery. I have my driver’s licence and a current WWCC, and I’m dependable, motivated, and always committed to creating a safe and supportive environment in any role I take on.

I adore kids and am looking for full time or part time work! I am a mature, friendly, enthusiastic and fun-loving 28-year-old and I reside in Newtown.

I have nannied and babysat full time for multiple families, with multiple kids at a time, (kids and babies from ages 0 months-11 years old) in the past and hold over 12 years experience - references are available on request. My most recent position was for about 10/12 months for a gorgeous 3 year old boy and his newborn sister in Paddington (she was born while I was working for the family) eventually before their family moved to London. I am confident and feel comfortable in providing care for children of all ages and am familiar with the support that babies, young toddlers and kids need. I absolutely love hanging out, playing, caring for and helping children grow and learn, as well as helping the family in any way I can with housework, cooking, cleaning etc. In my own time, I love cooking, staying active, reading, writing and the beach! I do not hold a drivers licence, am currently in the process of sitting my test, but feel comfortable transporting kids via public transport, or any other means that are comfortable for the family in the meantime. WWCC number to be provided to the family on request.
