Welcome message:

Introduction: I am a university student who is really excited to be tutoring and taking care of children for Preps to Year 6 and joining them with their journey to an positive attitude with education. Dedicated and experienced babysitter seeking to provide exceptional childcare services to families in need. Possessing a nurturing and caring demeanour, with a passion for ensuring the safety and well-being of children.

Purpose of Baby Sitting: The purpose of my babysitting services is rooted in providing exceptional care and support to families in need. With a nurturing attitude and genuine passion for children's well-being, I aim to create a safe and engaging environment where children can thrive in their parents' absence. My primary goal is to ensure the safety and security of the children under my care while fostering their growth and development through age-appropriate activities and interactions. By maintaining open communication with parents and adhering to their instructions and preferences, I strive to build trust and confidence in my abilities as a responsible caregiver. Ultimately, my purpose in babysitting is to provide parents with peace of mind, knowing that their children are in capable hands, while offering children a fun and enriching experience during their time with me.

Welcome message:

Hi! My name is Brooke and I have been doing babysitting for a couple of years and am a qualified Cert 3 childcare and kindergarten teacher. I'm really passionate about making children feel seen, heard and loved. I believe its important for their brain development at a young age. I think creative expression is very important whether thats through movement like dance or art and crafts. Creative expression is a way of communicating personality and I would love to help expand this area of learning with children. I do have a soft heart and create strong relationships with children, as much as I like to have fun I do think validating their emotions and feeling are essential. As mental health also effects children. I look forward to talking to you soon :)

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A New Year's Eve Babysitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a NYE babysitter so you can celebrate worry-free while your kids are safe and happy.

1. Book early

New Year’s Eve is one of the busiest nights for babysitters, so secure yours weeks (or months) in advance.

2. Expect higher rates

Many babysitters charge holiday premiums, so be prepared to pay extra for the special occasion.

3. Check experience

Choose sitters who are confident handling late nights and possibly multiple kids or group settings.

4. Confirm availability

Double-check that the babysitter is comfortable staying past midnight and knows when you’ll return.

5. Ask about overnight care

If you plan to stay out late, consider booking an overnight sitter for everyone’s peace of mind.

6. Provide entertainment

Stock up on kid-friendly activities, games, and maybe a little “kid’s countdown” to keep children happy.

7. Share bedtime routines

Write clear instructions so the sitter can smoothly handle bedtime even if you’re away at midnight.

8. Exchange emergency contacts

Make sure they have your number, a backup contact, and details for neighbors or family nearby.

9. Set house rules

Go over screen time, snacks, and whether the kids can stay up later than usual for the occasion.

10. Show appreciation

Since they’re giving up their holiday evening, consider a bonus, a meal, or a thank-you gift to make them feel valued.

See our complete guide to NYE babysitting for parents for more detailed information.
