I'm currently looking for strictly casual babysitting only to slot in around my full time job as an assistant team leader for police at Triple Zero. While I love my current job, I dearly miss the nannying role I had for 3+ years that I had to leave to take it, and need some more babysitting in my life to quell the baby fever! I have a great love for children and animals, and have been working with children regularly for close to twelve years. I have experience with children aged 6 weeks and up, and am comfortable looking after up to five children at once. I’m an avid reader, and love engaging with kids and helping with their reading, language development, and homework. I also thoroughly enjoy cooking, and would be more than happy to prepare healthy and delicious meals for your kids, alongside light housework (folding laundry is my happy place!). I also have experience with ASD 1, ADHD and house cleaning. I have a full driver’s license and car, first aid + CPR certification, ABN and police check. Because of my occupation I do work a rotating shift work roster, so can provide my availability as far ahead as needed. I am also happy to discuss overnight stays for a flat rate. Please note that my hourly rate begins at $35/hr. This reflects the calibre of my work and the effort that is put into all aspects of childcare and my experience. Additionally, I always make sure you come home to a tidy house where possible - with your children’s welfare and happiness prioritised.
I began babysitting as a teen more than 11 years ago and went on to work as a nanny for over three years. I gave this up to work my dream job, but desperately miss it and keep up with my families and childcare gigs whenever possible. I cannot wait for my fiance and I to start our over family, but in the meantime adore babysitting to get my fill of giggles and sweet hilarity. I have experience with infants 3 months and up, and have previously cared for up to 5 children at once.
