Hi parents! I'm Bek, and I've been working with kids in various settings for years, but am now looking at getting into part-time nannying as I absolutely adore my time with babies and children

I love to bake, read, and do lots of craft. I'm also a very musical person. I'd be very comfortable taking your kid/s out of the house, to parks and libraries etc. As well as other fun adventures like the zoo, indoor play centres, etc. I'm even happy to take them to weekly things such as playgroup, music classes, etc

I'm very flexible with my hours, but would prefer to organise set times every week with the right family.

I currently lead a Playgroup 2 mornings a week, with kids aged anywhere from 1 - 6 years old. I have done a fair bit of casual babysitting with kids of similar ages

I have volunteered in youth (ages 8-18) musical theatre productions, both as a chaperone and well being coordinator.

I've got experience with neurodivergent kids, and medically complex kids as well.

I've got up with dogs, and am very confident caring for pets. I can either stay overnight at your place to pet sit, or just drop in during the day to feed and play with your pet. Happy to tale dogs on walks as long as half an hour

I am fully vaccinated, including a yearly flu shot.

I do have my drivers license and own car (toyota yaris), but I am still on my P's

My skills and interests:

  • Music
  • Singing
  • Dance
  • Reading / storytelling
  • Drawing / painting
  • Arts / crafts

Pet sitter, walker, and friend

I have recently moved to Northcote from Sydney and had to leave behind two cats with their 'mum' and would love to spend more time with animals. I have been home and community gardening for 10 years, and have maintained a very clean home my whole life. I have helped a friend run a kitten foster program and a cousin train two dogs for farm work. I'm comfortable with all kinds of dogs. I have a calm and confident demeanor that helps make animals feel at ease with me quickly. I'm into moving my body and am happy to take multiple dogs for a walk, run, or cycle. I am an environmental scientist, but am taking several months break to reconnect to nature and animals.

Hello I’m Jade Whitear, I’m sixteen years of age, and since I was young I’ve taken care of my brother, babysat my neighbours kids, and my niece every so often. I know simple first aid as I am in Army cadets and ranking up. Because I am in army cadets I am not free wednesdays and occasionally on weekends/holidays. As for my education, I attend a TAFE where I am doing my year eleven and twelve. In my education once a week we spend one day doing a course of our choice, I have chosen animal care (which includes animal nursing, care, and veterinary). I also have had a few pets from dogs and cats, I have had 3 dogs, and 2 cats in the past. I currently have a furry, loving, handsome kitty named Lynx. I love all kinds of cats and dogs and just wanted to make some new furry friends or quick cash for doing something I enjoy. Once I have finished my schooling I would like to join the army.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Pet Sitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a pet sitter to ensure your furry family members are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.

1. Check Experience

Ask how long they’ve been pet sitting and what types of pets they’ve cared for. Experience with your specific type or breed is a big plus.

2. Verify Credentials

Look for pet CPR/first aid certification, pet care training, or memberships in professional pet-sitting associations.

3. Ask for References

Speak with past clients to confirm reliability, trustworthiness, and quality of care.

4. Meet in Person

Schedule a meet-and-greet to see how your pet reacts to the sitter and ensure a comfortable connection.

5. Discuss Duties Clearly

Define whether they’ll walk, feed, administer medication, groom, or provide other services. Be specific about expectations.

6. Check Availability

Ensure the sitter can meet your schedule, including holidays, weekends, or overnight needs.

7. Understand Rates & Payment

Clarify fees, overtime charges, and any additional costs (like travel, supplies, or emergency care).

8. Review Emergency Plans

Ask how they handle medical issues, accidents, or other emergencies, including access to your vet.

9. Communication Style

Confirm how often and in what form they’ll provide updates—texts, photos, or reports.

10. Start with a Trial

Consider a short test visit or day before leaving for an extended period to see how your pet responds and assess the sitter’s reliability.
