Hi! I'm Elle. I’m a proud big sister, beloved babysitter, and Paediatric Registered Nurse with over 15 years of experience caring for children from newborns to teens. I currently work full-time as a Clinical Nurse Specialist at Sydney Children’s Hospital, where I support children of all ages, including those with unique or complex needs. I’m 32, positive, nurturing, fun, and responsible, and I genuinely love spending time with kids. I’ve previously worked as a nanny and bring a calm, confident approach to babysitting that helps children feel safe, supported, and seen. As I work Monday to Friday, I’m ideally looking for casual babysitting roles in the evenings or on weekends - but I’ll do my best to be flexible where I can. My standard rate is $40/hour. Happy to chat about specific needs, sibling rates, or regular bookings!

Hi, my name is Matika and I’m 21 years old. I’ve just completed a two-year, full-time dance course and am now looking for a nannying or babysitting position, as I finally have the time to dedicate to caring for children—something I’ve always loved doing. As the second oldest of six siblings, I’ve naturally taken on a helping role at home, supporting my parents with the younger kids from an early age. This experience has given me a strong sense of responsibility, patience, and a genuine love for being around children. Over the years, I’ve had many babysitting and nannying opportunities, caring for children of all ages—from newborns to teenagers. I’m now hoping to become a part of a family where I can create a fun, nurturing, and safe environment for the kids. I love taking them on walks, spending time outdoors, getting creative with activities, and simply doing whatever makes them smile. I’m a reliable, energetic, and caring person who’s passionate about building genuine connection with childern. I’d be excited to bring that positive energy into your home and become a trusted part of your family’s routine!

Hi! Thank you for taking the time to read my description ! My name is Vera, but you could call me V! My friends would describe me as a natural born leader with a joyful attitude I was raised in a loving environment where we learned to put family first, and work together to help bring up our younger relatives such as my cousins, nieces and nephews. After all, "it takes a village to raise a child" :) My family and I regularly donate and volunteer in orphanages for children where we would create activities, help in cooking, as well as help in feeding them. During vacation, I would volunteer in my local council to teach and educate children aged 6-15 years old. I would teach basic writing and reading in English, including basic mathematics. My upbringing has helped me develop deep empathy and compassion, and they have also inspired me to become the person I am today. I believe that how you do something is how you do everything. I am currently an assistant nurse at an emergency clinic, working to complete my Bachelor in Nursing with the intention to specialise in pedia. I enjoy caring for others and with the time I have, I would like to channel my energy into caring for your family just like how I would help my own :) Most of my experience with childcare comes from personal experience. Professionally, I also work as an after school educator with multiple schools here in Sydney and have worked with multiple families that can attest to my skills. I'm adaptable, resilient, and diligent, so nothing is too challenging for me :) Thank you so much for reading and it's a pleasure to consider me as your babysitter!

I’m a 26 year old qualified primary school teacher with three years of experience, plus a year working in a nursery—so working with children of all ages is second nature to me! I moved to Australia from the UK in December and I am currently taking some time out from teaching. I enjoy working with children and want to continue this out here so nannying is the perfect medium! I plan to stay in Australia for the foreseeable, with 2 and a half more working holiday visa's available to me, and a view of applying for residency in the future. As the eldest daughter of six siblings (including twins I’ve helped care for since birth due to a big age gap), I’ve grown up in a busy, loving household and have always enjoyed being around children. I’m kind, patient, reliable, and bring a warm, nurturing energy to everything I do. I enjoy being active but also enjoy calm when needed. I’m currently completing my Working With Children Check and can provide references if necessary. I am trained in first aid and CPR, and have had training in anaphylaxis however I do not hold a certificate in this but would be willing to if needed. I’m excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm to a family in need of an extra hand! I am looking for full-time work so please get in touch if you think I'd be a good fit for your family :)

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
