Hi to all the families! My name’s Kelly I am an experienced and qualified childcare educator holding a Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care. I have worked in preschool rooms, babysitting/nannying agencies and OOSH (Out Of School Hours) leading educational programs for over 10 years, but have decided to change my career path. I am now a practicing Enrolled Nurse and I am currently studying my Bachelor of Nursing at University. I am up to date with ALL vaccinations. I am a responsible, energetic and passionate educator/sitter that pays attention to safety. I create loving and nurturing relationships with all the kids I interact with and strive to build positive relationships with the whole family. If this is what you're looking for in a sitter, please don't hesitate to contact me. My availabilities are limited due to my part time nursing job, although if I’m free I’ll be happy to help you. Thanks!

Kelly was very professional and punctual and my LO was very comfortable with her. Kelly was also very proactive in asking what she could do to help me out including some light house duties. Would highly recommend and book Kelly again

Kelly is an absolute natural with babies and young children and clearly enjoys them. She has common sense and experience with kids which makes the whole thing easy. She's also fun and initiates games and activities, patient, caring, and is a responsible and considerate person to have around (I needed babysitting whilst I got work done from home, and she's one of the few babysitters who reliably put the effort in to keep the kids so happy that I wasn't constantly interrupted). She's also been a good communicator and easy to deal with when arrangements needed to be changed.

Kelly was fantastic with my three kids. They were happy and comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Kelly.

Kelly was excellent with my 1 year old and 3 year old. She was friendly, polite and punctual. Thank you for babysitting!

Kelly was wonderful with my 5 month old. This was the first time I’d left him with a babysitter, & I felt comfortable with having Kelly look after him. He warmed to her immediately. Kelly kept me updated throughout the day and took great care of my baby. If we’re in Sydney again I’d definitely rebook with her.

We had a fantastic experience with Kelly! She was punctual, kind and confident with our 9 month old. He was immediately comfortable with her and we felt confident leaving to enjoy our night. We will definitely be booking her again.

Kelly was so great- my baby warmed to her straight away and she was patient, kind, caring- a real pleasure. Definitely made me feel comfortable leaving my baby with her!

Kelly was fantastic, our 3.5yrs old son and 15mths old daughter took to her straight away. Which I was worried about as they don’t have sitters very often. She arrived on time and found our place with no problems. The verbal instructions I quickly gave Kelly she remembered with ease. Kelly texted us once the kids had gone to bed. Which I was worried about as my daughter can be tough to settle with strangers. The place was clean and tidy when we got home. The next morning my son had nothing but kind words to say about “Miss Kelly”. We will definitely book Kelly next time we need a sitter. Knowing our children were safe, happy and well taken care of made our rare date night out that much more special. Thanks again Kelly.

To Whom It May Concern:

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Kelly Dove as a babysitter.
She has watched my two children (aged 5 and 1.5 ) occasionally over the last two years.
Kelly always come to our home on time, cheerful and ready to engage the children with creative arts and other activities. My kids love Kelly and look forward to spending time with her. That said, she always followed our directions in regards to the children (bedtimes, food, etc.) and they respect her as an authority figure.
Kelly is responsible and fun and any family that hires her has very fortunate children indeed.

Sincerely
Sahar Nosrat

Kelly is such an amazing nanny. She is extremely responsible, trustworthy, skilled and kind - I highly recommend her.

Kelly can assist you with children of all ages. She has looked after my newborn daughter from six weeks of age and she has continued her care right up to the toddler age. My daughter loves when Kelly looks after her and we love having Kelly around :)

My family and I have known Kelly since 2002, and in this time she has blossomed into a smart, capable and mature woman. Some things that have remained exactly the same, however, are her supreme practicality and what I can only describe as a natural affinity with children - you’ll likely understand what I mean by this when your kids won’t stop talking about her! I don’t know if it’s magnetism, magic, or something else entirely, but it’s truly wonderful.
These days she has both qualifications and experience in childcare to back up those decidedly rare qualities. Kelly is also currently studying nursing and is a high achieving student who works incredibly hard.
The result of all of this is that Kelly is equipped with fantastic personal qualities, an impressive array of experience, and a unique and constantly developing knowledge base - all of which sets her in a league of her own. I genuinely can’t think of anyone I would trust more to care for my loved ones.

I have known Kelly for over 15 years, and in this time she has been a wonderful friend to myself and my family. I would highly recommend Kelly as a babysitter or nanny. Kelly is a responsible, sensible and hard-working person, whose skill set and aptitude makes her an excellent carer/educator of children.
