Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi parents! My name is Aliyah, I am 19 years old. I am a first-year university student doing a bachelor of nursing at UTS. I have had previous babysitting experience babysitting children from 1.5 - 10 years old and working for 3 different families while in high school. 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 that are between the ages of 1 - 5 that I frequently babysat and watch grow. 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: Full-time,Part-time,Casual Babysitting

I am a 27 year old writer from Sydney, currently living in Petersham. I have extensive experience in childcare, including casually babysitting for some local families and previously part time nannying for a family with 3 boys (2, 6 and 10). I am available to do before/after school (or daytime for the little ones!) help during the week, as well as ad hoc weekend and weeknight evening care. I really enjoy spending time with kids and am a very patient and outgoing person! I am comfortable with doing some household chores such as cleaning and cooking, and am open to walking pets if needed. I have experience in tutoring students from kindergarten to Year 10 so am more than able to help with homework.

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

My name is Fabiola (Fabi). I am an Australian Citizen (I have lived in Sydney most of my life and intend to continue residing in Sydney). I have a current Working with Children Check and First Aid & CPR Certification. I am fully vaccinated against COVID 19 as well as against flu and whooping cough. I do not drive, but am very adept at travelling with babies and children on Public Transport. I have a University of Sydney Bachelor of Arts (Honours in Education) degree with a triple major: Psychology/Education/Mathematics (my favourite subject being Developmental Psychology). I have extensive experience as a nanny, babysitter and tutor: positions I have always thoroughly enjoyed. I believe that ensuring children's safety, and respecting them and listening to them is of utmost importance. I have loved and been fascinated by children ever since I can remember. Since I was 15, I have provided both paid and non-paid childcare: I have a natural aptitude for facilitating children's learning in a fun way. I love caring for babies; it is a privilege to be there when they are learning so much: the world we tend to take for granted is so brand new to them …. I delight in the "purity" of children and their behaviour. And when their behaviour is ah… beyond the pale, I take deep breaths and somehow tend to keep my cool! I am a good communicator, mature, trustworthy, honest, reliable, nurturing, compassionate, loving, patient, friendly, kind, humorous, easygoing, proactive, energetic, and creative. I care very much for nature and the environment, enjoy a healthy life style (e.g. I do not smoke) and am very affectionate with pets. I put my all into the babies, toddlers and children under my care. I positively impact their lives: being a good role model, seizing the opportunities that present themselves to further their development and education, having fun with them, and being there for them as they face life's challenges. I also provide solid support for the parents. So, if you need a nanny, babysitter, educator or tutor who a) absolutely loves interacting with babies (including newborns), toddlers and children, b) is passionate and knowledgeable about childhood development and teaching, and c) loves to feel like a part of the family, well, here I am!

Hi, my name is Christie Trowbridge. I’m 34 years old and currently based in Bondi, where I co-parent my four-year-old daughter. Before launching my own wedding dress design business, I gained extensive experience working as a nanny, and I’ve always loved supporting families and helping things run smoothly behind the scenes.

I’m fun, friendly, and highly responsible, with a natural ability to connect with both children and adults. I’ve built strong, lasting relationships with the families I’ve worked with, and I’m happy to provide excellent references. I’m in the process of renewing my Working With Children Check, and I’m more than willing to obtain a current First Aid Certificate and Police Check if required. Looking forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, Christie Trowbridge

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’m gaining industry experience through my internship at a PR and marketing agency, where I’ve been developing strong organisational and communication skills. 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—I often managed the household and quickly learned how to balance care with structure. 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 and high school subjects, drawing on my academic background—achieving academic honours and top Band 6 results in my HSC through persistence and hard work.
