My lovely mothers helper will be going on prac placement soon so I am looking for a cover or long-term replacement to help me with my 9-10 month old energetic baby while I am home.


Ideally, I am looking for long term help, someone consistent, who could eventually feel like family and be a stable, reliable presence in my baby's life.


I am looking for someone:

▪︎ kind, calm, patient, warm and experienced with infants

▪︎ who is attentive, proactive, diligent and loves to engage with babies

▪︎ to be my extra set of hands and eyes

▪︎ to keep my baby settled if I need to focus on a task for 30-60min

▪︎ to help with contact naps

▪︎ who will be a positive role model for my baby (healthy, driven, enjoys learning)

▪︎ to help with light cleaning where baby spends time and after feeding

▪︎ who can involve my baby and not just entertain them


You will never:

▪︎ be left alone at home with my baby*

▪︎ be expected to change diapers*

▪︎ be expected to clean the whole house

▪︎ be expected to cook or prepare food*

▪︎ be expected to do laundry

▪︎ be asked to bathe baby or change their clothes


You may:

▪︎ Enjoy hobbies like reading, crafting or playing musical instruments with my baby

▪︎ Enjoy exercise like yoga, pilates and light weight training (available at my home) with my baby

▪︎ Study or read during naps

▪︎ Be asked to travel to the city with me and my baby on the rare occasion for work (max 6 times per year)*


Regular times needed (16-20 hours/week):

Mondays 9am - 1pm OR 12pm - 4pm

Tuesdays 11am - 3pm OR 12pm - 4pm

Wednesdays 11am - 3pm OR 12pm - 4pm

Thursdays 11am - 3pm OR 12pm - 4pm


Occasionally Fridays 1pm - 4pm

No work on public holidays


*on rare occasions you may be alone to care for my baby for 2-3 hour blocks while I am working nearby, which would include feeding and changing diapers

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 Rooty Hill?
Babysitters and nannies already listed in Rooty Hill are asking between $15 and $60 an hour, across 48 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.
