Fun and loving Babysitter

Hi my name is Nicole and I’m a 34 year old female available for adhoc babysitting. I’m originally from WA and have a very large family (7 nieces and nephews) which has provided me with a solid caring foundation over the past 16 years.

I currently work as a public servant where I work 2 day shifts followed by 2 night shifts and then I have 4 days off which I enjoy filling up with being a nanny/babysitter, caring for children.

I am currently nannying for several families with children ranging from 4 months to 11 years old. I do regular NDIS work for a Autistic boy (9 years old) and a Down Syndrome girl (7 years old). I’m very active and friendly and can guarantee your children will feel safe and happy in my presence.

I’m happy to meet beforehand and have a solid reputation as a reliable and professional carer with all the families I have supported. I have excellent references and a 5 star rating on care.com feel free to look me up.

Experienced Lead Educator, Babysitter, and Mother!

Hi there!

My name is Olivia, and I’m an experienced educator turned mother! With a passion for the care of children from newborn all the way up to teen years, I hold years of experience leading nursery and toddler rooms in popular early education centres, babysitting for local families, and now the experience of motherhood as a mama of one very rambunctious little boy, with another on the way! With a multitude of repeat families who seek my expertise, I decided to further extend my services to the kiddo app to reach new families in the area. My profile may be new, but I can guarantee years of references and reviews on request to ease your mind!

I hold my anaphylaxis and asthma first aid certification, alongside my childcare specific training in first aid and resuscitation. I have experience caring for children with diabetic conditions, ASD 1 and ASD 2, and children who manage severe anxiety and trauma related conditions. I am experienced with following safety plans and allergy procedures and can guarantee that your babies will receive only the most genuine care under my watch. I understand first hand the nerves that can come with leaving your precious baby in the hands of a stranger, and I endeavour to form strong relationships with not only your child, but with you, to ensure that everybody is as comfortable as possible!

I can’t wait to meet you and look forward to helping out in your family!
