Hello! I’m Sophie! I’m from the UK and currently on my gap year before studying geography at university. Having family on the Island means that I have been able to enjoy all the Lord Howe has to offer.
I have lots of experience babysitting back home in England and I really love it.  All of my previous babysitting experience has been with children over the age of two.

Hi, i’m Megan! I am a proud Lord Howe Islander, though I currently spend the majority of the year on the mainland studying secondary teaching at university. I grew up on the Island before my family and I moved to the mainland so my three siblings and I could attend high school. I return to the Island every year between December and January to visit my extended family. I really enjoy anything outdoors like going to the beach, stand up paddle boarding, hiking, swimming, snorkelling and especially going out on the boat. Children are such a gift and I love working with children of all ages. I’m looking forward to helping you enjoy your time on the Island as much as possible!

Available December to January each year
Daytime: Monday to Friday, Night Time: Sunday to Thursday

Hi! I’m Elyse. I have lived and loved Lord Howe Island for almost seven years. I am originally from Melbourne, but have been travelling around Australia for the last eight years. In the Lord Howe winter, I spend my time in the Kimberley however, this hasn’t happened in the last two years due to Covid. I love the outdoors and connecting with nature, wildlife and enjoying the ocean and rockpools. I also love looking after little ones while their parents go out for dinner. Story time, slow play and settling children into a happy and relaxed night is part of the day I truly cherish. I am comfortable with  children of all ages and I am looking forward to helping you enjoy a much needed holiday on our beautiful island.
