Infant Babysitter | FIFO Family Support
Perth's Inner North-East | Ongoing Regular Position
Do you genuinely enjoy caring for babies and supporting young families through those important first years?
Babysitters on Demand is seeking a warm, experienced and reliable babysitter to support a wonderful family in Perth's inner north-eastern suburbs.
This is more than a casual babysitting role. We're looking for someone who wants to become a trusted and consistent part of a family's support network and build a long-term relationship.
About Babysitters on Demand
For over 20 years, Babysitters on Demand has been supporting Perth families by connecting them with experienced, carefully screened babysitters and nannies.
We believe quality childcare is about more than supervision. It's about creating genuine relationships, providing families with peace of mind, and ensuring every child is cared for in a safe, nurturing and engaging environment.
Our carers are personally supported throughout every placement and thoughtfully matched with families to ensure the right fit for everyone involved.
About the role
You'll be supporting a lovely family with their five-month-old daughter while Dad works away on a 4:3 FIFO roster.
Mum is currently on parental leave and is looking for an experienced infant carer who can confidently care for their daughter, allowing her time to rest, recharge, attend appointments or simply enjoy a well-deserved break.
Some shifts may see Mum at home, while others will involve sole care of their daughter.
Their little girl is bottle fed, is beginning the transition towards solids, enjoys plenty of interaction and is settling into a predictable daily routine.
The family also have a friendly miniature Groodle. No pet care is required, however applicants must be comfortable working in a home with a dog. He is friendly and can be excited when meeting new people but quickly settles and enjoys relaxing nearby.
