Our Babysitters
At Rockmybaby® Australia, our babysitters come from all walks of life, but they all share one thing: a genuine passion for caring for children.
Many are qualified teachers, nurses, early childhood educators, or experienced parents and grandparents, bringing real-life childcare experience and a nurturing approach to every job.
How We Recruit Babysitter’s in Australia
Every Rockmybaby® babysitter is carefully vetted to ensure they meet our high standards for safety, experience, and professionalism.
Our recruitment process includes:
A personal interview – We meet each babysitter to assess their experience, personality, and fit for childcare roles.
Working With Children Check (WWCC) – Required in most states and territories, including NSW, VIC, SA, and WA.
Blue Card (QLD) – For all carers working in Queensland.
National Police Check – To ensure a clean criminal record.
Reference checks – We confirm childcare experience through verified references.
ID verification – We validate all official documentation to confirm identity.
Whether you need a babysitter for a date night, school holidays, or ongoing care, Rockmybaby® makes it easy to find trusted, fully vetted babysitters across Australia.
How it works: Hiring a nanny
Choosing the right nanny is one of the most important decisions you’ll make for your family. At Rockmybaby®, we make the process straightforward, safe, and fully supported - from your first job listing to the day your new nanny starts.
How to Find a Nanny
-
Submit your job request online, outlining your family's needs, including days, hours, duties, location, and any special requirements.
-
Our consultants will personally review your request and contact you to confirm all the details. Once ready, your listing is released to our database of vetted nannies actively looking for work.
-
You’ll receive nanny profiles with detailed CVs, references, and experience summaries. Let us know which candidates you’d like to meet.
-
We’ll help you arrange interviews with your selected candidates, in person or virtually - so you can choose the best fit for your family.
-
Once you’ve made your choice, a placement fee applies, and your new nanny is ready to start! Our team remains available for ongoing support post-placement.
Finding the perfect nanny for your family is simple with Rockmybaby®.
