Babysitters in Sugarloaf, NSW

Hi my name is Katie. I worked in two daycare centres and was a full-time nanny for 15 years prior to starting my career as a Social Worker five years ago. I am currently in between jobs and am looking for some babysitting roles. Once working again full-time I am still wanting to do weekend babysitting. I have a lot of skills as both a nanny/house manager and would love to help a family out here and there while I’m available. Casual babysitting preferable but also happy to assist families durint the week until I find my next full-time role. I can cook, drive, spot clean and am very confident with children of all ages. Whilst I love my new career as a Social Worker, I absolutely love nannying and babysitting too. I am willing to travel for the work. Please reach out if you need some support.

I’m a warm, caring and reliable early childhood professional with 20+ years’ experience in the early childhood education and care sector, including extensive hands-on experience with babies, newborns and infants (feeding, settling, sleep routines and early development). I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education, a current Working With Children Check, and up-to-date First Aid, CPR, Anaphylaxis, Asthma, and SIDS & Safe Sleep training. I’m also Circle of Security–trained and place a strong focus on building secure, trusting relationships and emotional connection with the children in my care. I have a full driver’s licence, my own car, I’m a non-smoker, and a big animal lover, so I’m very comfortable with pets. I’m also happy to help out with light housework, washing and meal prep. Families often describe me as calm, patient and intuitive, with a nurturing, gentle approach.

Fully vaccinated Mrs Doubfire! I have a genuine love of children and over 20 year’s experience (including special needs) and as a nanny in Saudi Arabia . I've also spent 1.5 year`s in Chile, volunteering in a childrens' orphanage. Fun, active, kind, reliable and well organised. When I'm looking after children, I like to engage/participant with them rather than looking at my phone (I'm not on social media!). A believer in 'old school' play/education, ‘adventure’, laughter and cuddles (for toddlers). I love having simple fun with children ie. playground/park (nature walks), puzzles, reading, imaginary games, colouring in, lego, 'rhyme time/singing', references available from local families.
