Meet Amy: A babysitter in Northcote, VIC

I am a very experienced babysitter looking to build relationships with families for casual evening babysitting.

As I work full-time as lawyer, I am only available for casual, evening babysitting, after 6pm.

I first began babysitting at the age of 14 and have experience babysitting for children of two years of age and older. I have worked with a large number of different families; cared for boys and girls and up to three children at one time. I have cared for children with autism spectrum diagnoses and complex needs. I greatly enjoy working with children, am warm, approachable and gentle. As a babysitter I am very interactive; I enjoy playing games with children, overseeing activities such as craft or art, or taking children for walks or to the park. I am capable in the kitchen and able to prepare meals. I am happy to oversee and assist with homework; I have an excellent academic record across a broad range of topics. In 2017 I spent six months as an au pair for an Italian family with three young boys in Florence, Italy. This was a wonderful experience. My day consisted of collecting the children from school in the early afternoon, taking them to tennis, the pool or the park, or supervising their homework at home. I often prepared dinner and put them to bed too. In 2012 I spent six months volunteering in schools across India. I taught English and Humanities classes and also assisted students with their homework. I also spent a great deal of time with students in a relaxed playground setting; just talking, playing and helping them with their English. I have my own transport. I am punctual and reliable, fast at responding to enquiries and flexible in terms of availability. I would be excited to discuss my suitability to care for your children.
