Hi, I'm Lauren. I'm a qualified teacher from New York, now living in Sydney, and I absolutely love working with children of all ages. I'm 30 years old and currently teaching full-time, with experience across Years 1 to 8. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a nanny while completing my Master's Degree in Early Childhood and Childhood Education. I cared for children ranging from newborns to 12 years old and can provide references upon request. I'm now looking for part-time babysitting opportunities in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. Whether it's help with homework, creative play, or simply providing safe and caring supervision, I bring warmth, reliability, and years of experience. Feel free to reach out, I’d love to connect with your family.

An experienced nanny of over 15 years (4 years full time equivalent) looking after newborns usually to early teens but I’m also experienced with older teens. I have worked for a couple of families for long periods of time as their full time Nanny / Housekeeper and have a very good understanding of what it takes to look after children and the household. The families I have worked with have typically had 2-3 children and I am responsible for preparing them for school, lunches, picking them up, afternoon activities, homework, preparing dinner, bath time and getting ready for bed. I am youthful and energetic as well as intelligent and a positive influence. I am now seeking casual/part-time nanny work. Looking forward to hearing from you.

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 have been working as a Nanny/Housekeeper in the Eastern Suburbs for 10 years. I have a teaching background so a child's development is important to me. I have experience working with families as a nanny for babies, toddlers, infants and school children. I love fun, educational and creative activities for children: reading, writing, spelling and mathematics, arts and crafts, music, cooking and taking them to the park to play or beach. Or just play at home. I am very experienced at taking children of all ages to local community activities: swimming ,gymnastics, football, martial arts, yoga, and for the toddlers: playgroup, music and dance or Rhyme Time at a local library.

Hi my name is Katrina I am 25 years old. I have been doing nannying for about 6 years now. My goal as a Nanny is to care for, guide, instruct, protect, and teach children. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes helping children clean their rooms, clean play area, and laundry and more. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am caring, loving, committed, responsible, and diligent, and love what I do.

I am a young woman who has always found passion in child care, I have always been able to connect with babies, toddlers, older child 5-16+ and especially parents.

I adore kids and am looking for full time or part time work! I am a mature, friendly, enthusiastic and fun-loving 28-year-old and I reside in Newtown.

I have nannied and babysat full time for multiple families, with multiple kids at a time, (kids and babies from ages 0 months-11 years old) in the past and hold over 12 years experience - references are available on request. My most recent position was for about 10/12 months for a gorgeous 3 year old boy and his newborn sister in Paddington (she was born while I was working for the family) eventually before their family moved to London. I am confident and feel comfortable in providing care for children of all ages and am familiar with the support that babies, young toddlers and kids need. I absolutely love hanging out, playing, caring for and helping children grow and learn, as well as helping the family in any way I can with housework, cooking, cleaning etc. In my own time, I love cooking, staying active, reading, writing and the beach! I do not hold a drivers licence, am currently in the process of sitting my test, but feel comfortable transporting kids via public transport, or any other means that are comfortable for the family in the meantime.

Hello! I started working as a nanny when I was 16. In the beginning I used to look after my young cousins, but over time I started to look after more kids. Since then, I have worked as a nanny not only in Spain, but also in England and Australia, and it is something that I love doing. I have experience looking after kids from 6 months to 12 years old, although I have mostly worked with toddlers. Last year I was living in Sydney, and I worked for two amazing families. I looked after a 2-year-old boy and a 1.5-year-old girl. My tasks included cooking and feeding lunch and dinner (and sometimes dinner), nap and night routine, going to the beach and to the park, playgroups... The way I work is creating a fun and safe environments where kids can have a nice time while I help them to develop and achieve milestones. I have also graduated in Psychology, and I would like to get specialized in child psychology. Looking forward to meeting you:) Best, Berta

Known for patience, reliability, and keeping kids engaged in a safe, happy environment. Comfortable with all ages, from toddlers to teens.

I’m a responsible and caring babysitter with broad experience looking after children of all ages. I have a niece and nephew who I love spending time with, and I’ve previously babysat for several defence families, which taught me the importance of flexibility, trust, and patience. I attended boarding school, where I was Boarding House Captain and regularly completed duties with the junior house, supporting younger students with daily routines, bedtime, and emotional wellbeing. This gave me strong experience in supervising and nurturing children in a structured yet compassionate way. I’ve also worked in after-school care at my school, helping children with homework, activities, and safe play. I truly enjoy spending time with kids and pride myself on creating a fun, calm, and secure environment where they can feel supported and cared for.

I am an 18 year old girl, who has recently completed year 12 at Reddam House, and will be studying at the University of Sydney doing a Bachelor of PPE. I am compassionate, kind, organised and very responsible. I have had to have a lot of practise in independence in my time at boarding school, as well as looking after my younger sister with a disability. This experience has taught me the importance of patience and care when it comes to young ones. I enjoy spending time with my friends, running, reading and awaiting the next adventure! I will ensure I am a reliable assistance to you and your children, and will follow all tasks and directions as best as I can.

I am a qualified primary school teacher with ten years of experience working with children across a wide range of settings. While I'm currently taking a break from the classroom, I'm eager to continue supporting and caring for children in a different capacity through nannying and childcare. Throughout my career, I've developed a strong understanding of child development, learning styles and the importance of building trusting relationships with young people. I've worked with children of all ages and abilities, and I am particularly skilled at creating a nurturing environment where children feel safe and supported. I hold a current First Aid certification, including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and have a valid Working with Children Check. You can be assured that your child's safety, health and happiness are always my top priorities. I love planning fun, educational activities that match a child's interests, whether that's reading stories, doing arts and crafts, exploring the outdoors, baking or helping with homework. If you're looking for someone who is experienced, trustworthy and genuinely passionate about working with children, I would love to hear from you. Thank you, Orlaith :)
