Meet Jax: A babysitter in Ashfield, NSW

I have around ten years of experience caring for children aged 0–13 as a babysitter and nanny. Additionally, I have a degree in Psychological Sciences with a focus on developmental psychology. Beyond babysitting, I have worked as a children's gymnastics coach and art teacher, giving me a well-rounded understanding of child development across different domains.

I strive to incorporate evidence-based approaches from my degree to create a nurturing environment that supports children’s developmental needs. My goal is to help raise kind, independent, and resilient children using empirically supported methods tailored to each child's unique personality and stage of growth.

Most recently, I completed a three-year position caring for a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old, where I managed school pickups and bedtime routines 1–2 times per week. I also regularly provide casual babysitting for several families and can offer references upon request.

I have experience working with children of all ages and abilities, including neurodivergent children, and a variety of interests. I pride myself on being adaptable to each family's needs and preferences. I also hold a valid Working With Children Check.

While I generally follow a gentle parenting approach, I am flexible and happy to align with your family’s preferred parenting style. With me, your children will enjoy engaging art projects, fun games, high-energy activities, and the benefit of my extensive experience in childcare.
