Meet Jess

Hi, I'm Jess, the sole owner/operator of Wine Country Babysitting. For the past 5 years, I've called Cessnock home with my husband Glenn and our two adorable 'Fur Babies', Sammy and Hope. My journey into childcare started early, living near a Child Care Centre during my upbringing. This proximity allowed me to immerse myself in childcare responsibilities after High School, igniting my passion for working with children from a young age.

Experience and Qualifications

After completing my schooling in 2003, I embarked on a traineeship for my Certificate III & Diploma of Children’s Services at the same Child Care Centre where my journey began. With 18 years of hands-on experience in the Child Care Industry, I've worked as an educator with all age groups, ranging from newborns to 12 years old. Presently, I serve as a Casual Child Care Educator at a remarkable Community-Based Long Day Care Centre/Outside of School Hours (OOSH) in the Cessnock area, catering to children aged from 6 weeks to 12 years old. My qualifications include a Diploma of Children’s Services completed in 2005, a Current First Aid in an Education and Care Setting Certificate, along with CPR, Asthma, and Anaphylaxis Training. Additionally, I hold a Working with Children Check (available to view on request), possess a Full Driver’s Licence, and ensure safe transportation with Full Comprehensive Insurance & Age Appropriate Child Seating/Restraints.

Personalised Service

At Wine Country Babysitting, my aim is to provide a personalized and flexible service tailored to the needs of parents and caregivers. Whether it's attending weddings, birthday celebrations, parties, wine tours, or simply enjoying a date night in the Beautiful Hunter Valley, I'm here to accommodate your childcare needs. With advanced booking, I can be available any time of the day or night, seven days a week. Your peace of mind is my priority, allowing you to relax and enjoy your time knowing your little ones are in trusted hands.

Why Choose
Wine Country Babysitting?

 Along with my extended knowledge & experience with all ages, my business is registered with an ABN and fully insured for that extra peace of mind for Parents & Caregivers.

Additionally, I'm fortunate to be an Aunt to 5 Amazing Nieces and 3 Awesome Nephews! Pictured below with me are Amelia & Kallum, enjoying School Holidays visiting me in the Hunter Valley at Snow Time in the Gardens in July 2023.
