Hi! I’m Marichèle — a 16-year-old student at Hamilton Girls’ High, fluent in both Afrikaans and English, and the go-to babysitter for families who love a mix of structure, creativity, and fun. I’ve been babysitting tamariki from as young as 3 months to 13 years, always bringing calm confidence and a can-do attitude. I’m the eldest sibling, so you could say caregiving is in my DNA. I love staying active (the gym is my happy place) and getting outdoors — think kayaking, hiking, and running around the backyard with your littles. I’m also top of my class academically, and I’m always happy to help with homework or school projects. ⭐️ What I am Great at: - Babysitting for all ages (infant to teen) - Bilingual in Afrikaans & English - First aid certified - Calm, confident, and super reliable - Happy to help with meals, homework & house reset - Loves getting kids outside and off screens

Experience

I have been babysitting for the past 3 years, ages ranging from 3-4 months old upto intermediate children (13-14)

Additional Information

I'm always eager to adopt a new family and meeting new exciting kids. Also happy to help with cooking and homework.

Why I love working with kids

I truly enjoy working with children because their eagerness for attention and connection is something I deeply value. They have an endless enthusiasm for play and an innate ability to captivate with their imaginative stories, making every moment both delightful and enriching.
