Babysitters in One Mile, NSW

I'm a mature aged Mum, Widow and a Career Nanny. As a mother of an Adult son who has special needs I have had years of hands on experience with behavioural, developmental, speech, routine, fine and gross motor skills. My car is fitted with child restraint and booster seats. Over the years as a Nanny I have cared for children from 2 week old premmie twins to 15 years of age for twins, triplets, sole child or multiple children. The care has been in the children/s home including overnight or at an allocated venue depending on the family's situation. I thoroughly enjoy interacting and caring for children of all ages. My experience includes working with the parent/s on the child's routine, any strategies and dietary requirements. I'm also available for Pet and House sitting.

🌟 Caring, Experienced Support for Your Family Hello! I'm a vibrant father of adult children who now finds joy in supporting the next generation of parents. With my own parenting journey behind me (my youngest is now 19!), I’ve chosen to give back to the community by offering a warm, reliable, and trustworthy presence for children and families in need of an extra helping hand. 👶 Why I Do This In a world where many families no longer have a “village,” I love being part of that missing support system—easing the load and helping you survive the endless juggle of parenting. Instead of having more children of my own, I now care for children on my days off from my full-time role as a hairdresser. 🧠 My Background Before hairdressing, I worked as a youth worker supporting at-risk young people in out-of-home care. This experience shaped my passion for nurturing children’s emotional, physical, and developmental growth in a safe, stimulating, and fun environment. 🚗 What I Offer * School pick-ups & drop-offs * Supervision at extracurricular activities * Playdates & age-appropriate outings * A fun, energetic presence—just when you need it most! 💕 A Bit More About Me * I celebrate and include children from all backgrounds and abilities * I’m reliable, consistent, and have been in a loving same-sex relationship for 18 years * I currently support 2 families and would love to meet yours! * References available upon request ✅ Qualifications & Checks * Current Working With Children Check (WWCC) * Current Police Check * First Aid, CPR, Anaphylaxis & Asthma Training * Fully vaccinated: * Whooping cough, Tetanus, Diptheria * Measles, Mumps, Rubella * COVID-19 (JN.1 FDA-approved) * RSV vaccine 🚭 Non-smoker | 🚗 Own transport | 🐶 Pet-friendly

Good morning, My name is Elsie, and I am 19 years old with a genuine passion for working with and educating children. I hold a Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care, a P2 clean driver’s licence, and current First Aid, CPR, and Anaphylaxis training specific to education and care settings. I bring several years of childcare experience, beginning at age 14 with babysitting and further developed through caring for my five younger siblings. These experiences have provided me with strong skills in supervision, safety, and creating engaging, age-appropriate activities that support children’s growth and learning. I particularly enjoy the outdoors and love incorporating nature and hands-on experiences into children’s learning, helping to foster curiosity and creativity. While I am currently in the recruitment process to become a firefighter, I am deeply committed to continuing my work in childcare and education, as it remains one of my greatest passions. I would welcome the opportunity to contribute my skills, energy, and enthusiasm to your team, and I am confident that my dedication and experience would make me a valuable asset. Thank you for considering my application — I would be delighted to discuss how I can support your children Kind regards, Elsie Croal 0490368987
