A trusted hand for date nights, events, and travel
Step out with real peace of mind. Emma offers professional, casual babysitting herself, and when she is already booked she connects your family with a thoroughly vetted career caregiver. Based in Canberra, caring for families across the region.
Qualified, casual care for the moments that matter
Emma is a qualified childcare professional with six years of hands-on experience and an Australian Nanny Association Nanny membership. When you book her for the evening, your children are with someone who knows how to keep them happy, settled, and safe.
Casual babysitting suits a date night, a family celebration, a wedding, or a hotel stay while you are away from home. You get a warm, dependable presence for a few hours or an evening, with the same care and professionalism that sits behind everything Little Smiles Nannying does.

An evening out, knowing your children are settled and cared for at home.
A trusted hand for celebrations, so you can be fully present with family and friends.
Casual care while you are away, wherever your travels take you.

When another caregiver is the better fit
Emma takes on a limited number of bookings, and some evenings she is already with another family. When she is unavailable, or when a different caregiver simply suits your family better, she connects you with a trusted career caregiver from her network.
Every caregiver Emma refers is thoroughly vetted before she ever recommends them. Qualifications are reviewed, references are checked, and Working With Children clearances are confirmed, so the standard of care stays high whoever arrives at your door.
- Qualifications reviewed
- References checked
- Working With Children clearances
- Matched to your family
Care you can hand over with confidence
Emma is an Australian Nanny Association Nanny Member, a qualified childcare professional with six years of hands-on experience. That standard runs through every booking, whether Emma is caring for your children herself or referring a career caregiver she trusts.
Little Smiles Nannying works by application and keeps numbers small on purpose, so every family gets genuine attention and every match is one Emma stands behind.
