Babysitters in Cardiff Heights, NSW

Hello! I've been contemplating taking up babysitting for a while now, and finally took the plunge! While not having formally done childcare previously, as the eldest of 6 siblings, I'd say I have a fair amount of experience in looking after little ones! If you have any questions, feel free to email me! :D

I look. Forward to meeting you and your family. - Tara

Mothercraft/Maternity Nurse - years of experience with babies & children! I am a registered Tresillian Mothercraft Nurse - trained in 1980 & also did the Parentcraft Certificate through Karitane in 2007. Over MANY years I've had countless Mothercraft jobs specialising in helping families with babies to sort out issues around feeding (breast feeding, weaning etc), sleep & settling. I have worked as a live-out nanny for MANY families & have also done many 24/7 live-in temp jobs filling in for parents who travel for work. The age range of children in these jobs has been 0 - 18 years. At one stage I also worked in a day care setting - in the nursery. I am mum to 3 - now adult sons. I have recently located to Newcastle from regional NSW. I love being close to nature - so when Im not working - you'll generally find me out in the garden or out walking wherever nature is!

I’m a father of an adult child, step dad, and grandfather to seven (age range 1 to 13) who now provides care to the next generation of parents. My own journey as a parent has armed me with a wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of parenthood. With many families having a limited support system, it gives me joy to help ease the load for other families in my community, by providing a supportive and trustworthy presence for your child/children. I now enjoy giving back and continue to experience the joy of children while helping other parents survive the endless juggle. Instead of having more children of my own (my youngest baby is now 19), I care for the children I look after like they are my own….and I might have the ENERGY and TIME that you are lacking in this busy phase of life!!! I am very intuitive to your child’s needs and emotions and my main priority is to keep them feeling safe and secure. As a previous youth worker, working with at-risk youth in out-of-home care, I am intuitive and passionate about supporting children’s emotional, physical and developmental growth in a respectful and stimulating environment. School pick-ups, play dates, extracurricular activities, or just having an extra person around if you get stuck - reach out and let’s see what you need. I am inclusive, celebrating children from all walks of life. I am stable, reliable and consistent in all areas of my life, including having been in a same sex relationship, including marriage, for 18 years. I care for children days and nights. I also work as a hairdresser. I work with all ages from 2 months to teens. I like to provide a range of different play experiences including outdoor activities, play that develops fine motor skills and also imaginative play. I’m also very happy to include park and recreational activities that encourages broader socialization with children of other ages. I have multiple references, currently care for other families. I would love to meet you in person to see if I am a fit for you.

My name’s Ash, and I’m currently seeking work here in Newcastle after recently relocating from Queensland with my partner, who has joined the Newcastle Knights NRL team. I have extensive and varied experience working with children of all ages and abilities, including those with disabilities. I also hold a current Working With Children Check and NDIS Worker Screening Clearance, along with a few other certificates that may be helpful. My background is also deeply rooted in the performing arts — I grew up in Mackay, QLD, where I spent much of my schooling years teaching younger children dance, singing, and acting. At 17, I moved to Melbourne to pursue my performing career, where I continued to teach and also provided regular babysitting for a family in Essendon. Now that I’ve settled in Newcastle, I’m excited to continue doing what I love most — working with children. I’m bright, bubbly, reliable, and patient, and I take great pride in creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child in my care. Watching them learn, grow, and express themselves brings me genuine joy. Thank you so much for considering me for this opportunity — I’m confident I’d be a great fit for your family and promise to bring enthusiasm, care, and reliability to the role.

I am a positive, active and confident person with a primary teacher degree. I have a strong passion towards working with children and creating a fun and loving environment.
