About The Job

Job details: Casual Babysitting
$30 per hour

Hi, I'm a solo-mum by choice to an 8 mth old boy. I am a social worker and counsellor and am lucky to have some family who can occasionally be with him while I work from home roughly 2 days a week - however I'm in need of some back-up caregivers to help keep him safe and contented while I'm working with my clients and my family aren't available.

More often than not he's a happy little guy. He is crawling, getting into cupboards, walking himself along the furniture and taste-testing anything he can get his hands on so needs some good supervision! He truly is a delight and super cute (I might be biased). He loves singing, playing, books, baby-time at the library and time outside. He is breastfed and is enjoying exploring some foods.

Sometimes I may need only 2hrs help - other times closer to a full day. When I have more than 2 back to back appointments I make sure to schedule breaks so I can come and feed him/spend time with him in between. Where possible, I will do nappies.

Kindness, empathy and joy in being with babies are what I'm looking for - experience with babies too. Bonus points if you have knowledge of Circle of Security Parenting :) I'd love someone who could work with us regularly so he can be familiar with you. If the work coincides with a nap for bub, I'd appreciate some light housework (tidying toys/folding washing), but priority will always be baby :) Let me know why you want to work with babies, how you see your role as a babysitter, and whatever you think is important for me to know about you. Then, let's talk and see whether we might be a good fit. Thank you!
