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

With years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, I bring a calm, confident, and nurturing presence to every home I work in. I’ve previously nannied for twin toddlers and a 6 & 7 year old, managing the day-to-day with patience, creativity, and structure — and I’ve had the joy of basically being a second mother to my own eight nieces and nephews, many of whom I’ve helped care for from the newborn stage. Caring for children comes naturally to me. I'm deeply comfortable around kids, and I take great pride in creating a safe, loving environment that encourages their emotional, cognitive, and creative growth. Whether it’s playtime, mealtime, or nap time, I approach every moment with intention — offering gentle guidance, dependable support, and plenty of heart. My passion lies in supporting little ones as they learn and explore the world, and in being a trusted presence for the families I work with. I believe that nurturing care in the early years can shape a child's confidence and well-being for life, and I’m committed to bringing that energy into every day.

Hi there! I’m a warm, friendly, and caring nanny based in the Northern Suburbs, with over 7 years of experience caring for children from newborns through to school-aged. I’ve worked with a range of families over the years, from full-time nanny roles to casual babysitting, and I truly love what I do.

Looking for: Casual Babysitting

Hi, I’m Amber! I recently left full-time work in health and international development to focus on my passion for creative writing and young adult literature, which I’m now studying full-time. Babysitting is a natural fit alongside my studies—I love spending time with kids and creating a calm, fun space where they feel comfortable and happy. I currently babysit a 4yo two days a week, and growing up in Perth I often babysat for extended family and worked in a daycare during my teens. I have a current Working With Children Check (complete with Police Check) and completed First Aid training in 2021—I'm happy to renew it if required. I'm warm, dependable, and playful—I love reading stories and getting creative with games. I'm equally happy to just be around before/after school to make sure everything runs smoothly. At the moment, I’m looking for casual work during my uni holidays (mid-October through to mid-February 2026), as I already have a family I help with part-time during the school term. I’m happy to help with light tidying up and cleaning—like putting away toys, washing dishes, or wiping surfaces—but I don’t do extensive house cleaning.
