    Hi, I’m Kit I am 20. I live at home with my family of 7, plus a dog and a cat!

    I’m currently doing support work 1 day a week and looking for a bit of a change. I have been doing support work for over a year, I work with young adults with special needs. I work well problem solving and de-escalating. Since I was 15 I have been doing babysitting for neighbours and family friends. I have a drivers licence and my own car. I am planning on a big trip to Ireland for 6 months next y

Babysitting in Fern Hill

How much do babysitters charge in Fern Hill?
Not enough babysitters near Fern Hill 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 Fern Hill too?
1 of the 1 babysitters and nannies near Fern Hill 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 Fern Hill lists the ones who said yes.
Is a nanny cheaper than childcare in Fern Hill?
For one child, almost never. Centre-based day care is charged per child and drops again with 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. How much a nanny costs, and what sits on top of the rate.
Do babysitters in Victoria need a Working With Children Check?
It depends on how the work is arranged. Victoria’s Act counts babysitting arranged by a commercial agency as child-related work, and a private arrangement a family makes directly with a sitter is not on that list. Nannies and in-home carers are on it. Where a Check is needed, the parent is the one expected to see it. You can ask any babysitter for their family name and card number and check it yourself for free with Service Victoria. It takes about two minutes.
What does the verified badge on a Fern Hill profile mean?
The badge means we checked their ID and their WWCC with Service Victoria 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 Fern Hill?
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.
