What do babysitting services include?
Babysitting services include several tasks such as changing the diaper, preparing the baby’s meals and feeding them, ensuring they take their afternoon nap. If specified, and other services like administering any medication as necessary, bathing them and putting a new change of clothes on them as needed.
Diaper Changing
The babysitter disposes soiled diapers and changes them with new ones. Any cleaning and disinfecting of the baby will be done as well before fitting a fresh diaper. Babysitters will also perform any clean up as necessary if the baby left any messes. Be sure to provide the needed cleaning equipment as well as disinfectant, baby soap and detergent.
Preparing and Feeding Meals
Should the babysitter’s hours reach any feeding times, babysitters will prepare meals and patiently feed your babies. Be sure to have the appropriate food ready for them to prepare and feed to your babies. Babysitters will disinfect baby bottles and prepare formula and prepare the cutlery and flatware before proceeding to feed your bundles of joy. Cleanup after feeding is also part of the service, and the utensils, flatware and bottles will be put away.
Playtime with your Babies
Before taking your babies to their cribs or beds for naptime, some babysitters may engage your babies in a short play session. Babysitters can place them in their play crib and play with them using their favourite toys. If your children are toddlers, the babysitter can engage them in simple games using their toys and even read them a story to prepare them for naptime.
Preparing for Naptime
Babysitters will take your baby to their cribs or beds for naptime at the time you specify. They will patiently rock or lull them to sleep and ensure they are safely tucked in. You can provide some items to help your babies sleep, like a music box or mobile that plays a soft lullaby. Babysitters will remain with your baby as they nap and periodically check on them. Should they rouse from the nap due to a wet diaper, the babysitter will change their diapers straight away.
Other Services
Other babysitting services can include bathing and changing the clothes of your babies as necessary. If they have any medications, the babysitter can administer these to them. Be sure to advise them of the dosage and have their medications ready. Some babysitters may offer to buy the baby food or formula for their meal times during the day if you’ve run out of these items.

Babysitter required TONIGHT: 6.30-11.30pm (Richmond)
$110
Richmond VIC, Australia
25th Jan 2025
Looking for a reliable babysitter to look after two wonderful kids (9-year-old girl and 6-year-old boy) TONIGHT from 6:30 PM to 11:30 PM. Both kids are easy-going, largely independent, and self-sufficient. Tasks mainly involve supervising, ensuring they're safe, and engaging with them if needed. We're attending the tennis, so the finish time has to be flexible, depending on the match's duration. Chances are, we could be home way sooner than 11.30pm. If you're experienced, friendly, and available, we'd love to hear from you!


Very professional, trustworthy and accountable. Highly recommended.

Brunswick VIC, Australia

Hi there, we are a friendly warm gay couple. We're looking for a babysitter for regular babysitting requests. Must have experience babysitting children (and/or have had children of your own) and would love if you're happy to do a couple of light tasks around the house once the child is asleep like folding laundry or stacking/un-stacking the dishwasher, tidying up toys if at all :) Preference for qualified childcare workers/educators who are looking for evening shifts, and anyone who can speak the Malayalam or Tamil language but not necessary. If we all feel happy/comfortable after the first shift, we'd love to meet someone we can stay in touch with for regular baby sitting down the track! The requirements will generally be evening/night-times on weekdays and weekends, and sometimes weekend afternoons on an as-needs basis. Must be comfortable working with a queer family, in our home. We have only put 1 hour on the airtasker advertisement so you don't have to pay high fees. The remainder will be paid in person in cash for each session. Hope to meet someone lovely and look forward to hearing from you - Due date: however work to start in feb

Overnight babysitter for 2.5 year old girl
$200
Fitzroy VIC, Australia
20th Nov 2024
Babysit 2.5 year old girl overnight. Times can be flexible but approx 8/9pm-9/10am would be ideal. Change her nappy and put her to bed around 11pm-12am if she has not fallen asleep sooner. She is unlikely to wake before i am back in the morning so you are welcome to just watch tv, use the internet, sleep etc the rest of the night. Would prefer someone who can do this on a regular or weekly basis. We can be fairly flexible and work around your availability.


Anita was so wonderful, babysitting my two year old daughter! She was so friendly that my daughter took her instantly and made leaving her with someone new so stress-free for me. I highly recommend Anita for babysitting services.
