Suggested reads about Babysitters

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 in Terrigal

$30

Terrigal NSW, Australia

3rd Jan 2024

We are staying at a resort in Terrigal on esplanade drive and are looking for help to supervise our apartment while one or more of our girls nap so we can take the other girls out. Girls aged 1, 3 and 5 (you wouldn't need to look after all 3 at once). We are looking for someone to come from 1-4pm and 8-930pm on Saturday 6th Jan, Sunday 7th and Monday 8th - or as much of this as possible. Rate is $30 per hour. Most of this work will be sitting in the apartment watching the baby monitor and calling us on our mobiles (we will be within ten minutes walk away) if there is a problem or someone gets up earlier than expected. You could read a book, do homework during this time, as long as you can see and hear the monitor and are in our apartment, though we might ask you to also help with some basic tasks (eg clean up). Given nap times can be unpredictable, we might not require you for some of these times (but will pay you for the entire time you’ve committed to us of course). As this is working with children we require someone with a WWCC. Ideally you would also be comfortable playing with the kids if they are up early while we walk back so babysitting skills are preferred! As a bonus, if you were comfortable taking out two older kids out (eg walking to the beach together) we would design something around that too at a higher rate. I know this is an unusual request so please ask any questions. - Due date: Needs to be done on Saturday, January 6, 2024

31st Jul 2022

Hello! We are a family of 4 that needs extra help during workdays. We have two little boys 3 and almost 7 years old. The task would be 3 days per week, ideally Tuesdays-Thursdays, 2.30 pm-6 pm. It includes picking up from CCGS and pre-school, prepare a little snack when coming home, support with school homework for our oldest who is in grade 1, prepare dinner, and sometimes bath. And most importantly play! :) They are active, fun and caring boys. Both Ed and Pauline work full-time, that's why we need an extra hand. We live in a nice location at Shelly Beach, overlooking the golf course and walking distance to both parks and the beach. We are open to discuss compensation and are thinking around 30 dollars/hour. All best, Ed and Pauline - Due date: Flexible
