Hi Parents! I'm originally from the UK. I've lived in Sydney for 6 years and I hold a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care. Back in the UK I was a Primary school teacher, this now qualifies me as an Early Childhood Teacher in Australia. Whilst I've been in Australia I've been an au pair, nanny, shopping centre nanny and a babysitter so I have plenty of experience. I have a police check, WWCC and first aid with CPR. I look forward to hearing from you :)

"This was our first time using a babysitter in our home, and we felt immediately comfortable with Rachel. Our usually shy son took to her straight away, and had a great time with her while we were out. Rachel communicated with us during the night to let us know how everything was going, and we returned to a happy, peacefully sleeping little boy. Couldn't be happier in our choice of babysitter, and we'll definitely be reaching out to Rachel again!"
From Emma - Wolli Creek
"We had Rach for over a year and she became part of our family. Our 2 boys adored her and we knew they were in safe hands. She was flexible enough to help out for times outside the fixed hours and nothing was ever a problem. We recommend her highly and remain in contact for sitting."
From Damon - Bondi Junction
