    Friendly Babysitter

    Hello, I'm Maria. I consider myself a very happy, sociable and responsible person. I love spending time with children and playing with them. I have been working with children for a few years as a camp instructor (doing group activities), an English teacher (in classrooms with groups and individuals) and as a volunteer instructor for children with autism (therapy through surfing and activities).

Babysitting in Byron Bay

How much do babysitters charge in Byron Bay?
Not enough babysitters near Byron Bay have published a rate yet for us to give a local range, and we would rather say that than make one up. Across Sydney, casual babysitting generally runs between $25 and $40 an hour. Agree the rate before the first booking. We never take a cut, so what you agree is what the babysitter is paid. What moves a babysitting rate.
Can I find a nanny in Byron Bay too?
1 of the 2 babysitters and nannies near Byron Bay say they want regular ongoing work. Most people use the two words for the same person, so the two lists overlap. The difference that matters is the shape of the arrangement, not the job title. A nanny needs a Working With Children Check and you are the one expected to verify it, which is not true of a casual babysitter. Nannies in Byron Bay lists the ones who said yes. Where the line falls in NSW.
Is a nanny cheaper than childcare in Byron Bay?
For one child, almost never. Centre-based day care in NSW averaged $14.75 an hour in the March quarter of 2026 before the Child Care Subsidy, while a nanny you hire privately is paid in full and charges for the household rather than per child. The picture changes with more children: at two or three children the nanny rate does not move, so it pulls level or ahead before the subsidy, and where it lands after depends on your own subsidy rate, and on the hourly cap, which that average already exceeded. How much a nanny costs, and what sits on top of the rate.
Do babysitters in NSW need a Working With Children Check?
Not always. Under NSW rules a privately arranged babysitter working in your own home is not legally required to hold a Working With Children Check. Nannies, au pairs, and tutors are, and you as the parent are the one expected to verify it. You can ask any babysitter for their WWC number, family name, and date of birth and check it yourself for free. It takes about two minutes. Where the line falls and how to run the check.
What does the verified badge on a Byron Bay profile mean?
The badge means we checked their ID and their WWCC with the NSW Children's Guardian ourselves, not that they ticked a box.We do not check references, first aid certificates, or years of experience. Those sit on a profile as the babysitter’s own claim, and are labelled that way. The full list of what we check. The questions to ask a babysitter cover the rest.
How do I contact a babysitter in Byron Bay?
Browsing is open to everyone: every profile, rate, and availability grid is public with no account. To send a message you sign in with your email address. You arrange the booking, the rate, and payment directly with the babysitter — we are an introduction service and we are not part of that arrangement. How to find a babysitter in Sydney is the longer version.
Is it free?
Yes, for everyone. Every profile is public with no account, and messaging needs only an email sign-in. Babysitters stay free permanently: we do not charge a listing fee or a membership, and we take no commission on what they earn. Why the site is free.
