Hi 😊 I have 20+ years experience of babysitting, looking after babies and children of all ages. I’ve been a regular babysitter for many families over the years and have grown attached to many of these wonderful families and their kids. I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Therapeutic Play and an Honours Degree currently working for a Child and Family Program in quality assurance. I’m patient, responsible and mature, and I enjoy engaging with children through creative play and activities. I’m available for weekend and after hours babysitting 😊 I have recently joined Sittr (May 2024) I have WWCC, first aid, police check, and references (linked to my profile).

Karen was lovely and took really good care of our kids. She was reliable and flexible - would definitely recommend her

Character reference - If you had to ask me who I’d want by my side in times of need, it’s Karen. That’s why she is my emergency contact in Australia. She’s the most caring, thoughtful, responsible, trusting friend I know; so I cannot recommend her highly enough to look after your children. She takes this role very seriously and delivers with impact. I’ve seen her with our friends’ children - she’s engaging, supportive, playful, educational and creates such a safe space that children are so drawn to her. You won’t regret choosing Karen to care for your children :)

I wholeheartedly recommend Karen as a babysitter.

Karen babysat my kids (now ages 7 and 9) numerous times when they were younger. She is a natural with children and they felt completely comfortable with her. She is reliable and always arrived on time, ready with activities to do with the kids. When my son was a toddler he would happily snuggle up with her with a book or hug her, something he didn’t allow anyone other than us to do! I have known Karen for many years and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a trustworthy, kind, and dependable babysitter. Karen enriches the lives of the children she cares for and any family would be lucky to have her!

Feel free to email me at alisonmoodie@gmail.com with any questions.

Best,
Alison Johnson
