My name is Emma, and babysitting has been a significant side gig for me since I was 14. I have also worked as a lifeguard and consistently volunteered at the youth theatre program back home in Townsville. With kids, I am bubbly and fun, always willing to get dirty with them, play dress-up, or help with homework. My background is in safety, and I make it my top priority because I believe you cannot have fun unless you’re doing it safely. I have access to my own car, where a car seat can be installed, and I am confident and comfortable using the Melbourne public transport system. I am also happy to walk to parks, schools, or other activities if and when required.

I genuinely love being around children — their energy, imagination, and honesty are things I deeply admire. Babysitting, for me, isn’t just about watching over a child; it’s about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they feel seen, heard, and cared for. Growing up, I was always the go-to person in my family and among friends when someone needed help with their kids. I found such joy in reading bedtime stories, helping with homework, or simply listening to the wild tales kids come up with. I believe that every moment spent with a child is an opportunity to support their growth, encourage creativity, and offer kindness. I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s child very seriously, and I approach it with a calm, patient, and compassionate attitude. Being able to offer peace of mind to a parent while giving their child a fun, loving, and safe experience means a great deal to me. I’d love the chance to support your family and be someone you can count on and trust.

Hi, I'm Sabrina! I'm stocked to introduce myself as a prospective babysitter, and I'm excited about the opportunity to work with your family. With a lifelong passion for working with children, I've been an unofficially babysitter to my baby sister since I was 10 years old and have been the go-to unpaid babysitter for my younger cousins. Additionally, I've worked at a preschool, organized summer camp activities, and worked with children aged 3 to teens. These experiences have not only honed my skills but also deepened my love for creating engaging and nurturing environments for kids. The kids I've worked with would likely describe me as the "coolest and most fun teacher" - an empathic listener, a great storyteller (I'm also the author of two books!), and maybe a bit of a softie when it comes to board games (I like to let them win!). My sister, on the other hand, might offer a more critical perspective, but I'm sure she'd agree that I'm responsible, ensure things don't get out of control, and prioritize her well-being including limiting screen time and making sure she eats and sleeps on time! As a babysitter, I'm committed to creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for your little ones. I'm passionate about getting to know each child as an individual and tailoring my approach to meet their unique needs and interests. I'm enthusiastic about the opportunity to work with your family and would love the chance to discuss how I can contribute to your child's care and development. Thank you for considering my application! Best regards, Sabrina Fernandez
