Single dad with my two kids 6 nights/fortnight Tues 3pm - Mon 3pm. Busy professional. I’ve been juggling for a few yrs now but I think we’d all be better off if they had someone to hang with and help care for them sometimes. Ideally looking for a part time sitter/nanny-type arrangement…

My ideal =
- reliability and responsibility are important, as is someone who can be flexible at times.
- must be a good communicator!
- Someone ok with staying over if need be on a wkd night if I’m away
- Permanent part time weekday care in arvos, maybe 2-3 days/in my week (this would be fortnightly for you)
- someone with a drivers licence so on those days able to pick up my 14yr old from school 2pm for rest of 2026 (~20mins each way), then 2027 2.30pm (about 25mins each way)…
- if you have a car that would work better but we could also work out using my car sometimes.

- must be open minded about gender stuff - they’re both fluid….

My kiddos are pretty standard for their generation ;) they mostly like gaming, movies, and not very much activity haha. They’re pretty nice. Especially one of them. Once they let someone in they can get quite bonded. My 14yr has generally high functioning ASD/ADHD. Not too hard just needs a little extra push. Has POTS also so doesn’t do strenuous activity.

As for me - I’m kind, calm, generous, and prioritise whatever helps you feel comfortable with whatever arrangement we can make - so we can all get the benefit. happy to negotiate, and I can be flexible as long as we’re communicating clearly in advance. Totally happy to have a chat and if you can’t do all of above that’s cool - main thing is care in arvos and sometimes wkd nights for a few hrs or overnights :)

Every babysitting and nanny job in Albion Park

Questions babysitters and nannies ask

Do I need a Working With Children Check to babysit?

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. Where the line falls in NSW. How to become a babysitter in Australia covers the start.

How do I get verified?

Opt in from your profile once you have listed. You confirm a government photo ID with a matching selfie through Didit, our identity provider, which takes about two minutes, and give us your legal name, date of birth, and check number (and, for a Queensland blue card, its issue number). We then check your status with the register that issued it ourselves, usually within 48 hours. Today we can check clearances issued in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the Northern Territory. If it comes back cleared and the details match your ID, your badge goes live with the month we checked. It is free. Exactly what we check.

What does it cost?

Nothing. Listing 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 much should I charge in Albion Park?

Babysitters and nannies already listed in Albion Park are asking between $25 and $40 an hour, across 6 profiles that state a rate. That is what families here are seeing, so it is a reasonable place to pitch yourself. Put a rate on your profile. Parents filter by it, and a profile without one is the easy one to skip. What moves a babysitting rate. How much to charge for babysitting is for when you are the one saying the number.

How do families get in touch?

Through messages on the site. Your profile shows your first name and last initial, your suburb, and your rate and availability. It never shows your address, phone number, or email. You decide what to share once you have talked to someone, and you can block anyone.
