Caring for children has always been a natural part of my life, as I have grown up with younger siblings and been surrounded by kids from a young age. Through this, I have developed patience, responsibility, and a strong sense of empathy. I truly love building connections with children and creating a safe, positive and nurturing environment where they feel happy and supported. I am currently studying Primary Education at university, as I am passionate about helping children learn and grow. Babysitting allows me to gain valuable hands-on experience while doing something I genuinely care about.

I have hands-on experience caring for children of various ages through regularly looking after my two younger siblings, which has helped me develop strong skills in supervision, communication and managing routines. I am currently studying Primary Education at university, where I am building a strong foundation in child development, learning styles and classroom management. I am patient, responsible and nurturing, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, engaging and supportive environment for children. I am confident with age-appropriate activities, basic care needs and maintaining calm, positive behaviour.
My name is Edit, I’m originally from Romania but I’m also a Hungarian citizen, with over ten years of childcare experience. I moved to Sydney a year ago to study early childhood education and care and I currently work in a childcare center on a casual basis. I have experience also as a night nanny and along the years I cared for newborns, twins, children with special needs. I’m also comfortable with animals, so if you have pets it’s no problem at all. I’m an optimistic and happy, bubbly person, but when needed I can be also firm. I love taking kids to the park or outings, love reading stories for them and make crafts with them.
I’d be happy to meet new families for occasional or regular babysitting/nannying.
Thank you for visiting my profile and I’m looking forward to work with you.

I have completed my Certificate III in Allied Health (which I obtained first aid and CPR training) as well as a Certificate IV in Legal Services. While I have no professional training with children, I have done casual babysitting for family friends and families in my neighbourhood, as well as taking care of younger siblings and younger family members.
Hi! I’m Zia, a nursing student with a real passion for caring for others—especially kids. I’ve had the chance to work closely with two wonderful families, helping with everything from school runs and playtime to meals and bedtime routines. Those experiences taught me how important it is to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. With my background in nursing, I bring a calm, attentive, and health-conscious approach to caregiving. I’m someone who truly enjoys being part of a child’s day and making life a little easier for parents too.
