Hi! My name is Victoria, and I’m a responsible and caring 17-year-old babysitter with experience looking after children of all ages, from newborns to older teenagers. I have a natural ability to connect with kids and create a fun, safe, and engaging environment.
I also have experience working with children with special needs, particularly autism, through my family connections. This has given me valuable skills in patience, communication, and adaptability to ensure every child feels comfortable and supported.
I am available for babysitting in and around the Parramatta area and can help with activities, homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, and more. If you’re looking for a reliable and trustworthy babysitter, I’d love to help!
Feel free to reach out to discuss availability. I look forward to meeting your family!
I can travel to surrounding suburbs/towns of Parramatta for work.
