Babysitting in Stanwell Tops and surrounds
Every family needs a spare grandma. Borrow me.
I'm Julie (Grandma Jules), mother of 3, grandma of 8, and I babysit across Stanwell Tops, Stanwell Park, Helensburgh and the Coal Coast. Date nights, school pick ups, sick days and overnights (yes, including the 2am wake ups).

- 8 grandkids

A bit about me
Eight grandkids later, I reckon I've got the hang of this.
Draft, swap for Jules's own words
[Why I'm doing this. Something like: With eight grandkids I've done just about every bedtime routine going, and when friends started asking if I could mind theirs too, I figured I'd make it official.]
[What a normal night with me looks like. Something like: Dinner, a bath if they need one, a story or three, and lights out. You'll get a text if anything comes up, and a quiet house when you get home.]
The grandkids call me [what the grandkids call her], and your kids are welcome to as well.
xx Jules

Overnight stays
Have a proper night off. I'll handle the 2am wake up.
I stay the night and look after everything until the morning, so you can finally get some sleep or get away for the night.
01
A full night's sleep
Sleep right through for once, or book a night away. Nobody's waking you up.
02
The night shift is mine
I'll handle bedtime and every wake up until morning. Babies and poorly kids are fine too.
03
Dinner and breakfast sorted
I'll cook a simple dinner and do breakfast in the morning. Just leave me a note about any allergies.
04
School drop off, if you need it
I drive, so if you're not back in time I'll get them to school in the morning.
How it works
Getting started is easy, and the first chat is on me.
You'll never hand your kids to someone you haven't met. We start with a quick cuppa and go from there.
01
Book a free FaceTime call
Pick a time on my calendar and we'll have a 15 minute FaceTime. Ask me anything you like, and the kids can jump on screen and decide if I pass.
02
Pick your first date
Once you're happy, text me the day you need and I'll let you know quick smart if I'm free.
03
Go out and actually enjoy dinner
I'll look after things at home, so you can finish a whole conversation without anyone needing a wee.
What parents say
Don't just take my word for it, ask the families I mind for.
These are from mums and dads whose kids I already look after.

Questions parents ask
The things you're probably wondering about.
Tap a question to open it. If yours isn't here, just text me and ask.
What ages do you mind?
All ages, from newborns up. With eight grandkids I've had plenty of practice at every stage.
How many kids can you look after at once?
I'll happily mind up to 3 kids. If you've got more than 3, it's an extra $20 per kid, per booking.
What if I need more than 4 hours?
No worries at all. Every hour past the first 4 is an extra $35.
Will you drive them around?
Driving is available, I'll just need to use your car.
Do you cook dinner?
Yes, I'm happy to cook simple meals. Just leave me a note about any dietary needs or allergies and I'll follow it.
What if my kids are sick?
That's fine by me. If they're too sick for school or daycare, I can look after them until they're back on their feet.
What if I need to cancel?
Life with kids happens, I get it. If you cancel with more than 72 hours notice, you'll get a full refund. If it's within 72 hours I'll refund half, and if it's within 24 hours I can't give a refund. That's only so I'm not left holding a night I turned other families away for.
Book a chat
Let's start with a cuppa and a chat.
Book a free 15 minute FaceTime call. The kids get to check me out on screen too, which is only fair.
