Au pairs in Canterbury-Bankstown, NSW

Hello, I’m Sandra – originally from the Netherlands and currently living in Portugal. I’m a professionally trained nannny and movement coach with over 15 years of experience, and before that, I was a modern ballet dancer. My background in dance deeply influences my approach to working with children – I bring creativity, body awareness, and playfulness into every day. Since 2010, I’ve been supporting families using principles inspired by Montessori, Waldorf, and homeschooling. I’ve worked with children of all ages and abilities, including those with limited mobility, and still stay in touch with some of the kids I cared for more than 10 years ago. I’m a bit older than most au pairs or nannies, but with that comes a wealth of life experience, genuine interest, patience, and a whole lot of love. Why Australia? Because I’ve never been – and I’d love to explore your culture, connect with your way of life, and experience the creative climate. I’m passionate about nature – forests, the sea, animals, the outdoors – and I’d be thrilled to bring that into my work with your family. I’m available from May onward, depending on how quickly we can arrange the necessary paperwork like visas and flights. I’m open to stays ranging from 3 to 12 months. Looking forward to hearing from you! ( waving hand and smile) Warm regards, Sandra

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!

I am a mature former primary teacher (20+ years service)who does tutoring, nannying and babysitting. As I have raised a family, I have a great understanding of children of various ages, am energetic and very adaptable in working with families. I can prepare meals, do light housework and work in with families as they wish around their bust schedules. Most importantly I can provide care , warmth and understanding and work cooperatively to the best of my ability and have life experience working with many children over the years.

I am a 54 mother of three adult children living on the northern beaches, I have many years experience nannying for local families, friendly, organised and responsible I have fantastic references and truly love children. Having brought up three children on my own I have had to be organised and am happy to cook,shop, wash, clean even work through your “to do” list. My number is 0406641773 and best to text me!

Hey guys, I'm Johnny - born and raised in Sydney. I work a FT corporate role professionally but would love to do some babysitting on the side (my work hours are flexible so this can be discussed further). I love supporting kids as they grow and learn, especially during their early developmental years. While my main caring background is in disability support, many of the key skills like patience, empathy, and clear communication are the same. I'm kind, reliable, and believe in working collaboratively with both children and families to create a positive environment. Happy to discuss the role in-person to make sure it's the right fit for the both of us.

Heyy my names Tom Lancaster! I’m from the UK, on a working holiday Visa and planning to stay indefinitely. Im a 23 year old male, who loves working with kids it’s my passion. I’ve been an activity instructor/group leader for just under 2 years now in the UK and Australia. Looking after up to 24 kids by myself and have enjoyed it so much! I love the way they look up to you and you literally see them gain so much confidence during the time I’m with them it’s amazing. I’m a very fun, enthusiastic, caring guy with a passion for embracing my inner child whilst looking after kids :). I find gaining there respect very easy as I treat them as a friend rather than a child, this makes it a lot easier when explaining rules they need to follow during activities and how they should behave. I’m looking to gain new skills as I’m looking at the possibility of teaching in the future and would love the opportunity to work with your family. :)) I have had three babysitting job so far so I can provide references. 1. A Jewish family with two kids ages boy aged 7 and girl aged 5 who had a background with domestic violence due to the mother abusing them and making them regress, for example making them wear diapers still. 2. A family with a 10 year old boy who has ADHD/Autism/PDA. This includes dealing with a lot of physical tantrums and panic attacks. 3. A Indian family with a 5 year old boy and 5 month year old baby.

Hi, I’m Soha — a caring, compassionate, and empathetic caregiver currently pursuing a Bachelor’s in Psychology at Macquarie University, with a strong focus on child development. With over 7 years of hands-on experience caring for children aged 0 to 15, I bring both practical knowledge and academic insight to the families I support. I’m confident working with infants, including feeding, soothing, and nappy changes, and with toddlers and older children, I love engaging in meaningful activities that promote learning, emotional growth, and positive behaviour. I can assist with light cooking, cleaning, and creating structured, nurturing environments where children feel safe and valued. Whether it’s helping with homework, building routines, sparking curiosity, or simply being a warm and encouraging presence — I strive to support your child’s development holistically. I believe early childhood is a crucial time, and having someone with a background in psychology can offer your little ones not just care, but the kind of thoughtful interaction that supports healthy growth. I would love the opportunity to bring my heart and knowledge into your home
