I have a range of hobbies and interests such as crochet & sewing, painting, guitar & piano, karate, and plan to attend university in 2026, studying to become an accountant. While my work experience is limited due to my focus on education, i am passionate about helping my community and have been looking after family and friends children since i was young. I also own three cats and a dog (greyhound x mastiff), and have grown up with 3 cats in our household at all times and i help look after them.
My mother has been working in childcare since before i was born, and i take great inspiration to her strengths and abilities. I am also in the process of getting my first aid certification.

Hi, I'm Sarah, I'm a fun, energetic, caring individual who has had plenty of experience looking after children. I've spent many years babysitting, coaching gymnastics, nannying, and working as classroom support. I'm originally from Alice Springs, and moved to Tassie for university, where I am studying law, with aspirations to go into family law. I find working with children to be highly rewarding, and I love seeing the joy on a child's face when they achieve a goal or have fun trying something new. I enjoy reading, and playing board games, but I am also quite sporty and find active activities very fun too. I aspire to be friendly, outgoing, patient, and kind in all aspects of life. I am also comfortable with pets, being a person who grew up with cats, dogs, and fish, but also worked in a cattery and boarding kennels back in Alice Springs. I can provide references if needed. Feel free to get in contact🙂

Every family is different and so are the requirements for hiring a babysitter. In this section, we explore the many factors that can influence when, and how often, you choose to hire a babysitter so you can have a better idea of what may be best for your family.
Often the biggest challenge with hiring a babysitter is finding good candidates, to begin with. In this section, we reveal many secrets that you can use to attract the best local babysitters, we also explore alternatives to hiring babysitters that you may not have considered.
