Ensuring Bendigo Families Are Supported

Bendigo Babysitters was founded by Carissa, a local mum of two who’s passionate about ensuring families feel well supported.

Having worked as a babysitter, nanny, and childcare educator over the years, she has over 14 years of hands-on experience. She’s worked in families’ homes, daycare centres and preschools - so Carissa deeply understands what families are looking for in childcare.

Carissa is dedicated to getting to know both her team of babysitters and the parents needing help in order to make the best match possible. Caring and nurturing by nature, she has a unique ability to connect with children and bring joy to their lives.

We Reduce Your
Mental Load

We ensure that flexible childcare is easy to find, personalised, consistent, and as safe as possible. After years of struggling to find dependable and quality support that she could trust her own two children with, Carissa saw a gap in the market in Bendigo. We needed a local service that could match families needing help with trustworthy, reliable, safe sitters who truly fit their children’s needs.

Hand-picked carers. Peace of mind guaranteed.

At Bendigo Babysitters, we understand the importance of feeling confident in the person caring for your child. That’s why each of our sitters is hand-picked and thoroughly vetted for their qualifications, safety certifications, experience, references, and genuine passion, kindness & love for working with children. Every sitter also completes our compulsory in-house training to ensure consistent, high-quality care every single time.

To learn more about our commitment to safety, please see our Code of Conduct and our Health and Safety Procedures.

Whether you book the same sitter regularly or want to try someone new, you’ll always receive caring, capable, and professional support - and kids who can’t wait for their beloved babysitter to come back again & again!
