Nannies in Petersham, NSW

Hi! Im Vye, I am currently studying my medical undergraduate with plans to pursue a future postgraduate in Paediatrics, and my Philosophy degree simply for a passion of understanding humanity. I have had many jobs during university and high school and found that nannying is the one that feels most suited to me and my personality. I am kind, bubbly and outgoing, but am the eldest sibling in my family and have inherited a stern nature when it comes to knowing whats right and how to go about it. I have three years of experience with ages between 6 months - 5 years old. I am a big advocate for creative play without the need for screens (:

I’m Elyn, a warm, patient and reliable nanny based in Petersham. With experience as a babysitter, teacher assistant and volunteer in orphanages, I’ve cared for children of all ages — from tiny babies to curious toddlers and school-aged kids. Childcare has always been a meaningful part of my life. I love creating calm, engaging and safe spaces where children feel supported, valued and free to explore. Families describe me as nurturing, responsible and very communicative. My approach is grounded in respect, empathy and positive guidance — always following each child’s rhythm, needs and personality. I’m also studying Early Childhood Education, which helps me bring fresh, development-focused ideas into my work. I’m comfortable with pets and happy to assist with light household tasks to make your day easier. My goal is simple: to care for your little ones with the same love, patience and intention that I would want for my own future children.

I am a 36 year old female nanny. I was born and raised in Sydney, Australia. I have 10 years of experience with children from 6 months to 15 years old. I can provide references. I have a WWCC and a Police Check. I am first aid certified. I have a drivers license. I find caring for children very fulfilling and I have formed close bonds with all the families I have worked for. In most past positions I have also completed housework, cleaning and cooking and am happy to do both and any other additional services that are required. I am studying a Diploma of Counselling. I am comfortable and experienced with pets. I live in Petersham. I have been working in traffic control for the past 6 months, but I would like to go back to nannying as it is more fulfilling and so I can study more. Please let me know if you would like to organise a video call to meet each other and discuss details of the position.

Hello, my name is Claudia and I am an early childhood teacher. I have been working in the field of education for over 20 years! I am excited about this new shift in my life. I love nature and the outdoors. I am looking forward to making new connections with new families.

Hi parents! I am based in the inner west (but happy to travel further) and available for babysitting and nannying. I have superb experience babysitting for many families for well over a decade. I worked at a party play centre as a children's host and entertainer for five years and have cared for children from 6 months to 13 years old. I have a wonderful list of references who you can get in contact with. I'm reliable, creative and caring. Please feel free to get in touch!

Hi, I’m Harper! 😊 I’m 23 and a caring, reliable and friendly babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. I’ve been looking after children my whole life, starting with my younger siblings and continuing through babysitting for families. I also have experience working in support work, which has taught me how to confidently manage a household, prepare meals, keep children safe and create a calm, positive environment. I’ve studied psychology, youth counselling and mental health, which has given me a strong understanding of children’s cognitive and emotional development and how important it is to support each child as an individual. I’m happy to help with school runs, meals, homework, playtime, bedtime routines and keeping the house tidy. I’m creative, patient and love getting children involved in fun activities rather than just putting them in front of a screen. I hold my WWCC, First Aid and CPR and take the responsibility of caring for children very seriously. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can trust and rely on!

i am a bubbly outgoing person who loves working with kids. I’m currently a swim instructor (ages 4mo-7y) and I’ve been working with kids for about 2 years. Once I complete my degree I intend to go into child psychology. I am extremely passionate about ensuring childhood of newer generations are as magical as can be.

Hello! I'm Nicole, a 20 year old international uni student. I love kids, I am passionate about education in general but especially early and youth education. Fun fact about me is I have 9 siblings, so we are 10 kids in my family; 5 girls and 5 boys! I already do babysitting on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and I am looking to pick up extra shifts where available. I am also a Sunday School Teacher at my church and I have lots of nephews and nieces, my elder sisters have families so I really enjoy being around kids, they are my most favorite humans :3

I’m a compassionate, kind and empathetic person who genuinely enjoys working with children and supporting families. I have around 10 years of experience across child development, youth work, community services and government-funded organisations, working with children, young people and families in a range of settings. I hold a Certificate IV in Youth Work, Diploma of Community Services and Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, all completed through TAFE. I have also recently completed a Diploma of Sustainable Living and am continuing to learn and develop my knowledge in sustainability. My work experience has given me a strong understanding of trauma-informed care, child safety, duty of care, client-centred practice and strengths-based approaches. I believe every child is different, so I like to understand what they enjoy, what they're good at and what makes them feel comfortable. I then tailor the way I work around the individual child. I have worked across State Government, Local Government and government-funded and community organisations, including the Australian Red Cross Young Parents Program and a residential facility supporting teenagers with babies. These experiences have involved working in environments where child safety, responsibility, boundaries and duty of care are extremely important. I also have personal experience caring for children of different ages. I have two younger sisters who came into our family when I was 15, so caring for children and being involved in family life has been a part of my life for a long time. I have a Surf Life Saving background and am a strong swimmer, with relevant water-safety and First Aid experience. I’m comfortable around water and understand the importance of being vigilant and responsible when caring for children. Outside of my professional experience, I’m a very creative and curious person. I enjoy sustainability, gardening and permaculture, and have a background in textiles. I love arts and crafts, painting, collaging, cooking and baking, reading, getting outdoors and trying different sports. I’m very much an all-rounder and am always happy to give something new a go. I also understand how busy working households can be. For me, the role is about making parents' lives easier, while providing children with someone who is caring, reliable, responsible and engaged. I’m happy to follow the routines and structure that work for your family, communicate clearly with parents and work collaboratively with you. Whether it’s helping with homework, getting outside, creating something together, preparing food, playing a game, attending activities or simply being a supportive and reliable person for your child, I enjoy being involved and getting to know what makes each child tick.

After working in the advertising industry for the last few years, I’m return to nannying! I spent years nannying while studying, including working with families in Madrid and New York. I absolutely loved it, and I’ve really missed spending time with kids, seeing the world through their eyes, going on fun adventures and being a positive, trusted part of their support system. I’m still in touch with lots of the kids I’ve looked after, even those who are all grown up now. I’ve cared for children of all ages, from six month old twins to teenagers. I’m calm, patient and easygoing, so not much phases me when it comes to the everyday ups and downs of looking after kids. I can drive, help with homework, cook, change nappies and prepare bottles. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to meet your kids and family!

Bonjour! 🇫🇷 I’m a French mum of two little ones, a 2.5-year-old and a 5-month-old baby, and I’m bilingual in French and English. As a mum myself, I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for newborns and toddlers. I’m very comfortable with all the little things that come with caring for babies, from feeding and nappy changes to naps, routines, and soothing a fussy newborn. I also love spending time with toddlers, helping them learn, play, and explore the world around them. My maternity leave is coming to an end at the beginning of November, and as my husband will be starting his paternity leave around the same time, I’ll be available to help another family while he looks after our baby and our older child attends daycare. ✨ My availability: • Tuesday to Friday throughout November • Available for nannying or mother’s helper roles • Taking a month off in France with my family after November I’d love to support a family who needs an extra pair of hands, whether that’s caring for a newborn, looking after a toddler, helping with both little ones, or simply making the day a little easier for a busy mum. Being a mum of two has given me so much practical experience, patience, and confidence with little ones, and I understand just how valuable it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and experienced by your side. I’d love to connect with a family who thinks I could be a good fit! 🤍

Hello, I'm Kait! I'm 18 years old, a recent high school graduate. I'd love to help lift some weight off your shoulders in babysitting! I can help with homework, general cleaning and meals, and also things like reading, craft, or helping with music practice if they play an instrument. Any ages around 4-13. A bit about me: I am very passionate about music and literature. I like learning languages, puzzles and board games. I also like biking. My friends would describe me as responsible, kind and calm. Experience: I've helped younger students struggling with reading in the Smiths Family Student2Student program with patience. I have experience volunteering at a Children's community music group (a children's cello ensemble), demonstrating my responsibility. I helped out with face painting at my old primary school's movie-night festival this year, which was a delight to see the children excited by whatever face painting designs they wanted! If you are interested, please contact me. I would love to communicate further with you to see if I am the right fit for you and your child/ren!
