Find A Babysitter

Find A Babysitter is Australias leading online platform for connecting families with trusted babysitters and nannies across Australia. Founded in 2005 and run by founders Delia Timms and Jeff Bonnes, the service has helped more than 70,000 parents find the right carer, earning strong word of mouth and media recognition. Unlike a traditional agency, Find A Babysitter introduces families to great carers and then leaves hiring, scheduling and payment directly between the family and the sitter, giving parents complete choice and freedom while keeping costs down. Parents can use a simple three step process to search a large, up to date database, post a detailed job to attract matched carers, and interview and select their preferred babysitter or nanny. Profiles are rated and reviewed by local parents, and carers are expected to hold the relevant Working With Children Check for their state. The platform supports a wide range of needs including full time and part time nannies, casual babysitting, live in roles, and before and after school care, with coverage across major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra and Adelaide. Members receive job alerts sent to matched carers to accelerate responses, and benefit from friendly, responsive customer support. Access is offered via straightforward memberships for set timeframes, avoiding rolling subscriptions or auto renewals, and there is no payment processing or extra fees. Families can use the website or the iOS and Android apps to manage searches and job posts on the go, and the site provides helpful guides on topics like pay rates and safety. Recognised for quality and results, Find A Babysitter won the State and National Telstra Business Award for Microbusiness in 2008 and was a 2023 finalist in the Australian Womens Small Business Champion Awards.
