Finding a babysitter or nanny through an online directory is the modern way to help parents organise the right care appropriate for their needs.

All of the babysitters and nannies on the Find A Babysitter site are aged 18 and over and provide a very detailed profile online. They are asked to have a police check and references available for parents to see.

Babysitters come with a range of skills and experience. Many are students of Early Childhood Education, Teaching and Allied Health courses, from reputable universities. Others are professional nannies with years of experience.

Hundreds of babysitters looking for work in your local area are just a click away.

Find A Babysitter was the 2008 National Winner of the Telstra Palm Micro-Business Award.

Here is a selection from hundreds of testimonials we have from parents all across Australia

"In under a week we have met some wonderful nannies and chosen a lovely girl to look after our baby boys. Thank you for your website...it is amazing! Not many things are simple when you work and have a young family, though this website was a relief and has made the emotional and difficult decision of finding someone suitable to look after our treasure, easy and simple! Thank you!!" - Tamsin (Prahran, VIC)

"Just a quick note to say we found a fantastic nanny through your website and were very happy with the whole experience. We found the whole experience painless and easy and the layout of the website very good. We found your service via a friend and will pass on this info to others. Thanks for your help." - David (East Ryde, NSW)

"This is the 2nd time I have used your website to find a babysitter, and was successful and happy both times. As you know, there is a real lack of good ways to find sitters and your website has overcome this. This is a brilliant idea, and I am telling my friends about your website. Keep up the good work." - Zsuzsoka (Fisher, ACT),

"As a mother of four, including a newborn, I needed some additional help around the house and with the kids. I knew what I needed but was told by a couple of the nannying agencies that my request was unrealistic and that they only listed nannies interested in certain hours and arrangements. So I tried FAB and found a terrific carer within weeks that suited our family dynamics and requirements perfectly. Thank-you for such an easy site to obtain a carer. The "My notifications" option was fantastic!"- FAB parent survey, July, 2008.

"I was specifically looking for a babysitter who had experience working with children with Asperger's Syndrome. Through your website I was able to find the perfect babysitter who my son adores." - FAB parent survey, July, 2008.

"As we do not have immediate family close by who can mind our 21 month year old daughter, FAB has been a god send to our family. We have engaged the support of some lovely, caring, professional women whom our daughter loves and this has given me, as the stay at home mum, the freedom to go back to work on a casual basis and my husband and I the opportunity to start 'dating' again once a week which has been great for our relationship!" - FAB parent survey, July, 2008

"I am really impressed with FAB, having had a fair amount of experience with other agencies both online and off. FAB has been excellent for a lot of reasons - cost, ease of use, large number of users (compared to other agencies) and I’ve been most impressed with your very quick response to my dilemma! Congratulations on such a well organised service!" - Ailene (Mt Claremont, WA).

"I'd like to say a big thank-you for the simplicity of your services. As a single mother with very few friends with children, I found it quite hard to find quality care in the evenings for my young son. Your service has been a godsend on several occasions. I have been able to utilise a local babysitter and one in the Blue Mountains while on a weekend away. Thank-you again!" Katrina (West Pennant Hills, NSW)

"I had a lot of trouble finding a sitter until I signed up for FAB. Being able to structure my search to pinpoint the suitable candidates was great (I needed an overnight sitter who didn't charge the earth). Our new sitter is great and my boys love her. Thank you FAB." - Melissa (Wollongong, NSW)

"I only joined this morning in a desperate attempt to find a babysitter for tomorrow night, as my wife and I have an important function to attend. And now we have a babysitter! Thanks for the great service." - Stephen (Goonellabah, NSW)
