About Robyn
Hi, I'm Robyn. I've got three of my own (14, 11 and 7) so there honestly isn't much I haven't seen by now, including the fortnight we had chicken pox go through all three of them one after the other.
I'm free during school hours and most Saturday mornings. Happy to come to you, or to have them here at mine, we've got a fenced yard, a trampoline and a very slow old dog called Nugget who will let a toddler do absolutely anything to him.
I've done the lot over the years. Toddlers, the stage where they'll only eat four things, whole school holidays with three of them in the house, and now the teenage grunting. I do enjoy watching them go through there stages and seeing who they turn into.
Two things I'll be upfront about. I don't drive at night any more, my eyes aren't what they were, so daytime bookings only please. And my first aid certificate has lapsed, I keep meaning to book the refresher and I keep not doing it.
Message me any time, I'm usually up later than I should be.

Grandmother of six, weekdays in Wareemba
Hello, I'm Lyn ❤️ I am a grandmother of six, four of them under five, so I am well and truly in practice. I have my daughter's two on Mondays and Fridays and there is plenty left in the tank for one more family. I have done everything from newborns up to the ones just starting preschool. Bottles, nappies, settling, the lot. A baby crying does not worry me, they all do it and it passes, and I have

Maternity nurse, newborns and the whole first year
Registered nurse, twenty years. The first eight were general medical and emergency. The last twelve have been maternity and special care nursery, which is where I have stayed because it suits me. Alongside my shifts I do private newborn support, and I take evening babysitting for families who have a baby in the house and want someone who is not going to panic.

Nonna in Concord, proper meals and after school care
My name is Filomena. I am 64 and I have lived in the same street in Concord since 1981. I have five grandchildren. Three of them are in Melbourne with my son, so I do not see them enough, and two are here and both at school now. The house is very quiet in the day. I have been minding children in this street since many years. First the neighbours' children, then their children. One of the mothers I
