What it pays

What babysitters here usually ask, and what the badge beside a profile means.

What you can charge

What babysitters usually ask$33–$40 an hourfrom the 511 profiles that state a rate

About half sit in that range, and the rest split above and below it. It is a guide, not a promise. Where you land depends on your experience, the number of children, and the hours. Regular hours a family employs you for have a legal floor: $33.85 an hour casual on weekday daytime hours past three months, $39.27 after 7pm or on a Saturday, in 2026, whatever you agreed, with super on top past 30 hours a week.

The badge means we checked your ID and your WWCC ourselves, with the register in the state that issued it, not that you ticked a box.

How verification works

Questions babysitters ask

What does babysitting pay?

Babysitters here usually ask between $33 and $40 an hour, going by the 511 profiles that state a rate. In Sydney and Melbourne, most casual rates land between $25 and $40 an hour, depending on experience, the number of children, and the hours. Your rate goes on your profile and families filter by it, so put a number on yours even if you adjust it later. What moves a babysitting rate. How much to charge for babysitting is for when you are the one saying the number.

Do I need a Working With Children Check?

In New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, not for casual, privately arranged babysitting in a family's own home. Queensland does require one for any paid babysitting. If you work as a nanny, au pair, or tutor, meaning regular ongoing care rather than the occasional evening, you do need one, and the parent is expected to verify it. What it costs depends on the state: $112 in NSW for five years, and from $87 to $145 elsewhere. How to become a babysitter in Australia.

Is it free to reply to an ad?

Yes. Listing is free, replying is free, verification is free, and there is no commission on what you earn. Babysitters and nannies stay free permanently, and families do not pay anything either. Why the site is free.

How do families choose who to message?

They see what anyone sees: your first name and last initial, your suburb, your rate, your availability, and what you are comfortable with. Distance sets the order, so a family reads the profiles closest to them first, and the badge sits on the ones we have checked. After that it is what you write back. What the badge means.

Are these babysitting jobs or nanny jobs?

Both, and you do not have to pick a title. When you list you say whether you want casual nights and weekends, the same days each week, or both, and both is the common answer. The question is about the shape of the arrangement rather than the job title, because the title is the thing people are least reliable about. Where the line falls in NSW.
