Babysitters are 18 years and older. They are usually nannies, mother's helpers, childcare workers, teachers or after school carers or students who are studying in relevant fields. Babysitters usually do not do any housekeeping duties for the children or family, except clean up after the children and any work areas. We provide sitters in the Sydney area, for hotels, serviced apartments, functions, corporate clients and private homes. Whether it’s for daytime, evenings, weekends, overnight stays, temporary live-in or live-out positions or for children with special needs. When you are visiting other areas where Care for Kidz provides child minding services (Central Coast, Brisbane or Sunshine Coast), you can ring the local office and we will organize a babysitter for you.
