Experienced nanny/newborn nanny/night nanny!

| I bring over 6 years of diverse childcare experience, specialising in both singletons and multiples. While I've honed my expertise in newborn care, including overnight support, I've also nurtured toddlers and older children. Beyond infancy, I've excelled in after-school and evening care for toddlers and school-aged children, adapting activities to suit their developmental stages and interests. Additionally, I've provided proxy parenting services, ensuring continuity of care during family trips or business commitments. My background extends beyond childcare; I've been an active member of my local Surf Life Saving Club, volunteering as a lifesaver and imparting essential skills to nippers as a trainer. Holding certifications in Bronze Life Saving, First Aid, CPR, and water safety, safety remains my top priority. Outside of childcare, I thrive on outdoor adventures, from swimming to sporting games. My culinary passion is evident in the kitchen, where I enjoy experimenting with recipes, backed by my Certificate 3 in Kitchen Operations. I look forward to bringing my blend of experience, skills, and passion for childcare to provide a nurturing and engaging environment for your children

So kind and nurturing! Sophie was available to help us out last minute and was amazing with our little ones!"

Im fun, bubbly and responsible. I’d love to care for your children and help out around the house

| I’ve worked at a longday care in Brisbane for the past 3 years where I held leadership roles. I cared for children from infants right through to prekindy, and love caring for all those ages. Now I’m living in Newcastle studying teaching at UON. I’m looking to do babysitting on a regular or casual basis. I’ve already had wonderful experiences doing so through this site. I have my First Aid and CPR training (done with a childcare focus) and hold my Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care.

Very pleasant person and wonderful with our 3 year old grandson. We highly recommend Maddie"

Vibrant, loving and dedicated child carer

| Hii! I'm Val, an energetic and caring young woman originally from Atlanta, Georgia. I am a Psychology student with a passion for the young minds that are going to come to shape our beautiful future! I am a firm believer that we have just as much to learn from children as they do us, maybe even more! A little more about me, I am just shy of 23 and have lived here in Newcastle for a bit over a year now. I am active (love to go for walks, practice yoga, and be in nature) and have attained a positive outlook on life that has led me to hold a peaceful and relaxed demeanor. I have loads of experience with nannying and casual babysitting for more than one child at a time. One of the things I love most about child care is being able to provide, you, the parent, peace of mind knowing that I am lovingly and preciously caring for their children. I am responsible, organized, and trustworthy. I am also fluent in Spanish and can offer little interactive lessons! I have full-time availability as of January 2021! I am looking forward to establishing a connection with you!
