Hi! I’m Shiloh 😊 I’m 22 years old and have over five and a half years of experience working with children, from babies and toddlers through to preschool-aged kids. I’ve always loved being around children. I was raised by a single mum and helped look after my younger brothers from a young age, so caring for little ones has always felt very natural to me. I’m bubbly, fun-loving, kind and caring, an

Babysitting in Upper Ferntree Gully

How much do babysitters charge in Upper Ferntree Gully?

Babysitters near Upper Ferntree Gully are asking between $30 and $50 an hour, across 4 profiles that state a rate. What sits where in that range depends on how many children, their ages, and whether the job is supervision or a full bedtime routine. 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 Upper Ferntree Gully too?

4 of the 6 babysitters and nannies near Upper Ferntree Gully 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 Upper Ferntree Gully lists the ones who said yes.

Is a nanny cheaper than childcare in Upper Ferntree Gully?

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 in Sydney, 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 an Upper Ferntree Gully 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 Upper Ferntree Gully?

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.
