Welcome message:

Dear parents,

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.

Best, Edit

Speak to families of children with special needs they’ve cared for before.

7. Communicate about triggers and supports

Share sensory sensitivities, behavioral strategies, and comfort items.

8. Confirm reliability

Ensure they can commit to consistent care and handle unexpected situations calmly.

Choose someone who shows genuine empathy, patience, and respect for your child’s individuality.
