Meet the Babysitters

Our babysitters are warm, reliable and carefully chosen. Every one has had a one-on-one interview with Heidi, two reference checks and a Working With Vulnerable People check.

Meet Heidi

  • Heidi, babysitter in Hobart and Launceston

    Heidi

    Owner & Babysitter Hobart and Launceston

    Hi, I'm Heidi! I've been caring for children since I was 12, after growing up watching my mum, Lois, work as a family day carer. I'm a qualified primary school teacher and have also worked as a relief teacher and private tutor. My husband and I spent about eight years as foster carers, looking after children from newborns to teenagers. I love helping children feel safe, settled and happy, and giving parents real peace of mind while they're out.

    When I'm not babysitting, you'll find me scrapbooking or doing other crafts, looking after my pet fish, or planning my next holiday.

  • Christine, babysitter in Hobart

    Christine

    Babysitter Hobart

    Hello! My name is Christine. I am a mature-aged Christian lady who has worked extensively with children of all ages. I am qualified as a Teacher Assistant and am trained as an ESL teacher (English as a Second Language).

    I really enjoy engaging with children and have a toy box brimming with puzzles, toys, arts and crafts, and children's books. My "Mary Poppins" bag entices children to find out what I've brought. I also encourage the children in my care to use creative thinking and share their ideas for activities they enjoy.

    When I am not babysitting, I enjoy my church, bush walking, travel, swimming, horse riding, photography and watching films (children's films are my favourite).

  • Esther, babysitter in Launceston

    Esther

    Babysitter Launceston

    Hi! I'm Esther. I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science at the University of Tasmania, with hopes of becoming a physiotherapist one day. I absolutely love working with children and spent a year working in a creche, caring for children from 12 weeks to 12 years old. It taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, and adaptable to each child's needs.

    I'm a gentle and warm person who enjoys art, being active, and spending time with people. As the oldest of three siblings, looking after others has always come naturally to me. I love getting to know children, connecting with their individual personalities, and making them laugh.
