Ex au pair (London), daytimes actually free
About Freya
I spent 18 months as a live-in au pair for a family in London (girls aged 2 and 6, we're still in touch) and moved to Sydney in March. I work evenings in a restaurant in Newtown, which makes me that rare sitter whose daytimes are genuinely free.
School runs, sick days, pupil-free days, a morning with the baby so you can sleep: that's my zone. I'm Swedish, so expect outdoor time in all weather, and pancakes on Saturdays if you'll allow it.
Getting my WWCC sorted now my visa is settled. Happy to share my UK references and police check in the meantime.

Cert III educator, studying my Diploma
I am a qualified early childhood educator with seven years experience in long day care, currently completing my Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care. I believe every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment where they can play, learn and be themselves. I am patient, reliable, and I follow the routine you already have rather than bringing my own. First aid, asthma and anaphylaxis al

After school care educator, Vietnamese and English
I work at an after school care service in the inner west and have done for nine years. School pickups are second nature to me, I do about thirty a week. Weekday afternoons I am at work, so babysitting for me is evenings and weekends. I can do a Friday night through to late. Vietnamese at home. My own two are 8 and 11, so very little surprises me any more. WWCC and first aid current. No car, but I

OOSH educator and nursing student, WWCC and first aid current
I work at an OOSH in Dulwich Hill (before and after school care) and I'm doing nursing at UTS, so my WWCC and first aid are both current through work. Weekdays I'm with about 30 kids at once, which honestly makes one or two feel like a holiday. I'm good at the boring bits: reading the same book four times, cutting the sandwich the right way, getting shoes on before we're late. Homework help up to
