Hi, my name is Christie Trowbridge. I’m 35 years old, based in Petersham, where I co-parent my four-year-old daughter.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

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 (:

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

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.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

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.

Looking for: Full-time,Part-time,Casual Babysitting

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.

Hi Mums & Dads, My name is Carmen, 35 years old, Dutch/Australian and have 15+ years of experience in looking after children. I came to Australia 11 years ago from the Netherlands to be an au pair and stayed with the family for two & half years. In that time they have become part of my family. After finishing up with them I have worked as a nanny for multiple families around the Inner West. The children I have looked after where in different age groups from 2 weeks old till 14 years of age. I love my job as a nanny as you build up such a special bond with the kids. I love taking the kids out on day trips, going to the park, doing arts & crafts, playing with them, reading them stories & cooking /baking with them.This all depending on age of course. 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. I am fluent in Dutch & English. Reference available on request. My availability is from the 19th of October till the 15th of December on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Fridays, weekends & babysitting nights on request. And maybe some extra time in the new year if needed. I'm also available for adhoc casual babysitting so please feel free to reach out if you are in need of some help.

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!

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

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.
