In my spare time I enjoy photography, catching up with friends and family but more importantly spending time with my baby girl. Every moment with our children is precious.

I am a strong advocate for gentle parenting. Our little ones are exploring their new world and are learning every day! My core values are open and honest communication, respect and consent.

I understand the needs of every family is unique. I am eager to learn about your family!

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

Hi! I’m a 20 year-old, who is passionate about working with children. This year, I’ll be starting a course: Certificate lll in outside hours school care . I have a Working with Children’s Check, a First Aid Certificate, and a Certificate of Completion from a Babysitting course I took through SitterTrain. (These can all be verified)

Although this is my first time babysitting professionally, I have years of experience looking after my three younger siblings. They’ve been a big inspiration for me to pursue childcare, and through them, I’ve learned how to keep kids safe, engaged, and entertained.

I’m a creative, imaginative person who loves to read, and I enjoy incorporating fun and educational activities into my time with kids. I’m excited to bring my caring, responsible attitude to childcare and I look forward to working with you.

Hey! I'm Matilda, I'm 16, I've spent lots of time babysitting younger cousins and my little sister. I am also a Girl Guide and being a patrol leader in an older group, I've had to be responsible for my younger peers on various occasions, managing large groups of children who are all very different from each other. I love to draw, write, read and make music and would be happy doing these with or for children! I also love pets and don't mind looking after them as well!

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Valentine's Day Babysitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a Valentine's Day babysitter so you can enjoy a romantic evening while knowing your kids are in safe hands.

1. Book early

Valentine’s Day is a high-demand night for babysitters, so secure someone well in advance.

2. Expect holiday rates

Babysitters often charge extra for special occasions, so budget for a premium.

3. Choose someone trusted

Go with a sitter your kids already know, or someone with strong references if it’s their first time.

4. Confirm late-night availability

Make sure the sitter is comfortable staying until your return, even if it’s late.

5. Share bedtime routines

Provide clear instructions for dinner, storytime, and bedtime so the evening runs smoothly.

6. Leave fun activities

Stock up on games, crafts, or a movie to keep the kids entertained while you’re out.

7. Plan a simple dinner for kids

Prepare or order something easy the babysitter can serve without stress.

8. Leave emergency contacts

Give them your number, backup contacts, and any medical details they might need.

9. Set house rules

Be clear on snacks, screen time, and bedtime flexibility.

10. Show appreciation

Since they’re working on a date night, consider a bonus, chocolates, or a thank-you note.

See our parents' guide to Valentine's Day babysitting for more detailed information.
