Kara
Nanny in London (also available for babysitting)
My Summary
About Me
Hi parents!! I’m Kara, I’m 25 years old and originally from Sydney, Australia. I’m so excited to be relocating to London permanently as my dad’s side of the family is from the UK.
I consider myself a naturally creative and warm person, working as a freelance graphic designer and maternity/family photographer on the side. Being creative plays a big role in how I connect with children as well as my inner child- I love crafts, imaginative play, and creating fun, engaging activities that encourage curiosity and confidence.
I’ve always had a very active lifestyle, growing up by the beach and spending a lot of time playing sport and exploring outdoors. I love sharing new experiences with children and seeing the world through their eyes - it's something I find very special.
I also love animals and previously worked as an animal attendant caring for rescue cats and dogs, so I’m very comfortable in homes with pets.
I’m very well travelled and enjoy learning about different cultures, which I love incorporating into conversations and activities with children.
My Experience
I have over 10 years of nannying and babysitting experience, starting from the age of 15. I’ve worked in a variety of roles including full-time, part-time, and casual babysitting, and it will forever be my most rewarding work I’ve done.
I’ve cared for children of all ages, from 6 months through to teenagers, and have experience supporting children with additional needs including ADHD and autism.
Some of my experience includes:
• Sole care of a newborn for 6 months (up to 12-hour days, 5 days a week)
• Caring for multiple children at once, including families with up to 4 children
• Looking after siblings of different ages (including a newborn and toddler together)
• Building long-term, trusted relationships with families
I will always value the strong bonds I build with the children and families I work with, and many of my roles have become long-term because of these relationships - I still have wonderful, lasting connections with them to this day.
My Qualifications
• Bachelor of Design (Product Design), University of Technology Sydney
• First Aid Training
• Working With Children Check (Australia)
• Happy to obtain an Enhanced DBS check immediately upon arrival
My Availability
I will be based in North London and available from early June.
I’m ideally looking for a part-time to full-time role (30–40 hours per week), but I’m flexible and open to discussing different arrangements depending on the family’s needs :)
My Fees
- Babysitting from £18.00 per hour
- Nannying from £18.00 per hour (gross)
I’m happy to discuss rates depending on hours, number of children, and responsibilities, but I’m generally looking for roles in line with London nanny rates.
My Documents
- UK Passport (issued 22/04/2025)
