I have just graduated year 12, I am 17 and I am about to begin studying to become a paramedic. I play netball at my local sports club, where I also coach a group 10 7 year old girls. This coaching experience has given me experience with children and has gained my confidence in order to become a babysitter. I thrive around kids, I love hanging out with them and all of the things that babysitting entails. I am a very adventurous person, I love to hike, I love to travel and I love to meet new people. I know I would be a great babysitter because I am kind, caring and calm.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi there Mums & Dads.... I am your Mary Poppins!! I currently look after a few families however my calendar has opened for either a Wednesday OR a Thursday for a new family in 2025. I commit to long hour and long term commitment for the year with all of my families. It's important. Currently I cover ages 8 months, 12 months, 2.5 years, 4.5 years and 9 & 11 years olds. I understand the variety of changing developments in children and adapt to these needs. I love children and have looked after them across many stages of my entire life, as a local babysitter since I was 14 years old and up until now as a professional nanny for parents who are doctors, solicitors, engineers, school teachers, marketing specialist and even a CEO. Having a person of a mature age can provide some enormous benefits to both parents and children. I know life well and in very deeply different ways. I have an extensive understanding of the impact a moment or day in time can have on a child. Being there to pick up on these signals is very important. Recognising and sensing these subtle shifts need an awareness that comes with human development, of which I have covered extensively. Keeping a child calm and happy is important and to have skills that remove the stress and anxiety is about the energy from the nanny/babysitter. To become relaxed and connected/engaged with a mature age carer can offer great comfort to any child. The love will always be there. I follow routines and set boundaries, (initiated from the parents) for all children because it creates security and trust with them. I participate in both home and outdoor activities and excursions. I can drive my own car (petrol charges incur) or use any parents' cars. I cover household cleaning (light house work: all things kids mess, upkeep where possible in the laundry area, keep kitchen clean) to take the burden away from parents so they can come home to a cleaner environment than perhaps they left it. This is always discussed in detail for any family because I am not a 'house cleaner' I am a Nanny. I am extremely reliable and punctual to enable all parents to relax knowing I will always be there for them. I look forward to hearing from you. Nanny Clare

I have a genuine passion of caring for children and always commit to giving the best care possible. I love to encourage children to explore a range of learning areas including music/dance, arts and crafts, cooking and gardening. I’m hoping to find a family in which I can provide exceptional support and care for wonderful children. Nannying has always provided me with great satisfaction knowing I have made a positive influence on the development and growth of the individual children.

Some of the fine print: ✅ drivers licence and own car ✅ WWC check ✅ Police check ✅ 7+ years experience ✅ multiple references on request ✅ triple vaxed A little bit more about me: I am currently deferred from my culinary school, and am due to findh up with a family at the end of January. I’m ideally looking for full days of work to fill up my week, but open to smaller shifts or ad hoc work if it permits. Having worked in this field for quite a few years now, I have gained experiences in a variety of different duties including: - school and kindergarten pick ups/ drop offs - preparing meals - light cleaning duties - bathing -settling children for naps (sleep training) -baby led weening/introduction to food -bottle feeding -toilet training -administering medication - overnight care My main focus however, has always been to assist with and maintain healthy routines for your family, and to be a nurturing supportive member. Please feel free to message me with any further questions! I’m happy to chat over the phone or meet in person. Looking forward to hearing from you, Lily
