22.01.2022 So the online booking system has been such a pain! It is withholding Booking information so I have no way to contact people in regards to their bookings and it’s also cancelling them! Back to good ol’ Facebook. I’ve had a lot of issues here so please take the advice of my auto response message and message me on 0421878600 - OR if you copy and paste your message and send it after the auto reply comes through, I’ll get the notification . Sorry for the speed bumps! Was worth a... try and there are a lot of other systems out there, and while I can see there was a need for it due to the use of it by my community of clients - it was unreliable. Facebook has implemented a basic appointment system of which I am currently using, so sending a message here and contacting me on my mobile will enable me to make this appointment . This weekend: SATURDAY - 1:00pm to 12:30am Sunday SUNDAY - no bookings as yet - enquire to book

20.01.2022 Friday through to Sunday this weekend is FULLY BOOKED! WOW! Thankyou everyone for the likes, shares, and comments that boosted Darwin Babysitting back into the communities vision! I can’t believe two of my posts reached over 4,500 people PER POST - and that’s all thanks to my likers and supporters. ... Availability for next week will be posted on Sunday. Enjoy the beautiful blue skies today

19.01.2022 Mikayla is great with the kids, they love her! She is reliable and always ready with something fun to do with the kiddies.

19.01.2022 I GET IT! I HEAR YOU!! While I’m not a mother yet, I’ve spent my whole working life since I was 14, the last 11 years, working in Early Childhood Education. The trust placed in educators and services in general is second to none, which is why I have worked tirelessly over the course of running Darwin Babysitting to build a reputation of being one of the best and most trusted babysitters in Darwin. ... I recall a conversation I had with an educator about five years ago when we were debating our rate of pay in the industry, and while being an educator has so many roles wrapped into one, ultimately we specialise asset protection. Educators and babysitters are intrusted to look after your most valuable possession, something completely irreplaceable, one of a kind, and not to be cloned, your child! So if you’re looking for a trusted babysitter for your family please don’t hesitate to contact me, currently I am the only babysitter associated with my business however I will look at taking on a second sitter if the demand is there and only if I can find someone that I am comfortable representing my business in the best way possible! Happy Monday all you beautiful people, and have a wonderful week!

17.01.2022 Huge thanks to all of the members of the community that have liked this page. I have tried and tried and tried with this facebook messenger to get it working properly for this page and it just wont cooperate! i never get any notifications and messages are only visable when i log onto this page on the facebook desktop on the computer. i've tried the pages and messenger apps, re-installing both facebook, messenger and pages. So because of the amount of pain facebook has caused ...in this messenger service in conjuction with this page i urge clients to please contact me on 0421 878 600 for a prompt response as this is my direct line. I will be turning on the auto message again, advising people to do exactly that - contact me on my mobile. i am incredibly sorry for the delay in responses to your messages and believe this will be the best course of action to actually receive your requests for a sitter. Sorry again Sincerely - Mikayla

Please keep an eye out for available bookings as I will endeavour to post my availabilities each week on a Sunday, for the following two weeks ahead.
