Find a Babysitter You Trust, or Offer Your Own Care

Sorted a night out but nobody to mind the kids? Or maybe you love working with children and want regular local families. Dealin puts parents and carers in touch.

Sitters, Nannies and Carers on Offer

Listings range from babysitters in Sydney for a Saturday night to nannies in Melbourne for weekly routines. You'll also see holiday carers, overnight sitters and helpers with first aid training. Many are parents, students or early childhood educators themselves.

It suits parents wanting babysitting in Brisbane before a dinner reservation, students after flexible hours, and experienced carers growing a client list.

Checks Worth Making Before You Say Yes

Ask for a current Working With Children Check, or a Blue Card in Queensland. Each state names it differently, and most can be verified online.

Meet the carer first with your child there, and phone at least one referee. A current first aid and CPR certificate is worth asking about too.

Agree the rate, hours and payment method in writing. Skip large upfront payments, and be wary of anyone wanting a deposit before you've met. Confirm cancellation terms too.

Keep all chats on Dealin so there's a record. Carers should also hold back home addresses until they feel comfortable.

Local knowledge helps. Evening demand in Western Sydney is strong, so babysitters in Parramatta who reply quickly tend to book out.

Families around Logan often want regular weekly help, so carers chasing nanny jobs in Logan should state their availability clearly.

Trust your instincts too. If a booking feels rushed or pushy, pause, ask more questions, and choose another carer if needed.

For Parents

Mention allergies, bedtime routines and emergency contacts in your message. Carers arrive prepared and kids settle faster.

For Carers

List your certificates, experience and hours. If you offer after-school care in Adelaide or nearby, say so up front. Friendly, clear replies win bookings.
