4. Meet Your Sitter

Feel confident handing over to a friendly, trained carer – knowing your kids are in the best hands possible.

Bendigo Babysitters was founded by Carissa, a local mum of 2, who saw the need for a service connecting available sitters to families in need of personalised care.

With over 14 years of experience in different childcare settings, we understand what families want and need. We know firsthand how daunting it can be to bring someone into your home to care for your children, if you can even find someone available to suit your situation! That’s where we come in.

We personally match our carers to suit each family’s requirements. Our sitters have been meticulously selected and vetted for qualifications, safety training, experience, passion, and suitability. They have undergone our signature training to standardise babysitting care. Whether you get the same sitter time and time again or you try someone new, you will receive consistent, quality childcare that you can rely on.

We ensure that your children are in the best care possible and they have the best time while they’re at it. They will be begging for their babysitter to come back again!
