Brittany's Babysitting - Geelong

🚨 Important Face Painting Safety Alert! 🚨

As the weather warms up and more events are happening each weekend, it's crucial to be aware of the products used for face painting. Just because the paint claims to be "non-toxic" doesn't mean it's suitable for faces. Acrylic paint can cause skin irritation and serious damage if left on for a significant amount of time.

With many schools, daycares and businesses hosting end of year/Christmas parties myself and fellow Geelong based party/event entertainers have seen an increase in people using craft paints and craft glitter which may pose risks.

To ensure the safety of the young and young at heart, hire a professional that uses only the highest quality, cosmetic grade products and has insurance! Or if hiring a professional isn't within your budget, purchase some professional FDA approved supplies.

Get ready for a bubbly blast that will make your celebrations extraordinary! I'm thrilled to introduce the magical world of Giant Bubbles, a unique party and event service by Brittany's Babysitting - Geelong.

Let me introduce myself – I'm Brittany, and my journey in childcare and children's services has been a decade-long adventure filled with passion and dedication to create smiles.

Here's a little more about me and my experience:

A Decade of Experience: I've been devoted to the world of working with children for over 10 years. Witnessing their growth, curiosity, and unique personalities has been a privilege.

Education & Certification: I hold a Cert 3 in Early Childhood Education and Care and a Cert 4 in Education Support, which have equipped me with the knowledge and skills needed to provide quality care and support for young children.

Safety & Trust: Your children's safety is my top priority. I possess a Working with Children Check, ensuring a secure and trustworthy environment. Additionally, I'm First Aid certified.

From Infants to All Ages: Whether I'm caring for a 6-week-old bundle of joy or engaging with older children, I'm dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment.

Diverse Experience: I have experience working with children who have a range of disabilities and additional needs, ensuring every child's unique requirements are met with care and understanding.

Auslan Skills: I have some knowledge of Auslan and continue to learn more each day, allowing me to better communicate and connect with children who may use sign language.

Education Support in an Inclusive School: I've had the honour of working full-time as an education support professional in an inclusive school, where I've been assisting children's learning on a daily basis. My role involves modifying their learning tasks and providing personalised support to ensure that every child thrives in their educational journey.

Berry Street Education Model Trained: I've had the opportunity to train in 3/4 of the Berry Street Education model, which focuses on providing trauma-informed care and support to children and young people.

Party Planning Pro: For seven years, I've been creating memorable moments at children's parties and events. From face painting to giant bubbles, using my creativity to provide entertainment and fun has become one of my specialties.

Dog Lover: I have 2 beautiful fur babies, Houdini and Aayla. Both girls are super spoilt and keep both myself and my partner busy (Dylan more than me since he works from home doing IT)

Geelong Local all My life: Born and raised in the beautiful Geelong community, I feel proud to work with and bring smiles to the faces of the next generation of Geelong locals.

Quite often I'm asked for recommendations for other party related services such as cake makers.
I don't usually know who makes all the incredible cakes that I see at birthday parties so I wanted to find out, Who did you get to make your amazing birthday cakes? I would love to share these talented businesses with my clients when I'm asked for recommendations.

If you have any other party related services you would like recommendations for, please comment them below and I'll make posts for those as well.

It's been a while since I've been active here! Life had its twists and turns, with my full time work and personal reasons taking centre stage for a while.

Since its been a while and I have new followers I thought it would be a great idea to reintroduce myself and my a wide range of exciting services.

Over the next few weeks, stay tuned for a series of posts where I'll reintroduce myself and introduce you to our wonderful array of services. From babysitting, primary tutoring, face painting and so much more.

In addition, I'll be unveiling some special surprises that you won't want to miss. I can't wait to reconnect and continue offering my amazing services to our amazing community!

Hi everyone,
I know I said I was back from a mental health break afew months ago, but unfortunately that time back didn't last very long.
Over the past few months I have had a lot happen in my personal life and decided it was best to stop, temporarily close and spend some precious time with family.

Unfortunately while having some really exciting news and moving house (which is stressful in itself), both my partner and I got some heartbreaking news about people we are super close with on both sides of our family. Family means so much to the both of us so the hospital visits and seeing/hearing about the treatment and new daily routines that these family members are dealing with is really tough.

I want to thank everyone so much for their patience! Not only was this all so unexpected, but it all happened at once so it felt a tonne of bricks was falling onto me and when I thought there was an end to it all and a light at the end of the tunnel, more bricks fell.

I'm not sure where to start with the messages as there are so many to get through and I'm not sure who is still interested etc.
If you are still interested please send me another message to bump up your message. Otherwise I think what may work best is if I start with the newer messages and work my way back as the older messages are most likely for dates that have already been.

Thanks again for your patience and thank you to the people that reached out to make sure I was alright after seeing I needed some time off for my mental health and then that I was temporarily closed.

Over the past few weeks I took an unplanned mental health break that ended up being longer than the few days I thought I needed. I unfortunately was both mentally and physically exhausted due to my full time position supporting students with additional needs and very major behaviours in the classroom which resulted in me being more exhausted than usual so I wasn't able to respond to messages properly or be active on my page like I would have liked to be.

I apologise to those that have been awaiting my replies and thank you for your patience. If you're still wanting to move ahead with your enquiry, please let me know. I will be making my way through the unopened messages over the coming days now that I am feeling up to it but please note there will still be a delay as I get through them all.

Come and see Janelle (Nell’s Joy Face Painting) and I 12:30-2:30 today at Armstrong United Football Club for some face painting and balloon twisting!

I can't wait to see your smiling faces again at All 4 Kids Playcentre this week!
I'll be doing free face painting tomorrow (Monday) and Friday 10-1

Can't wait to see you all at All 4 Kids Playcentre again these school holidays.

I'll be there Wednesday 12th, Monday 17th and Friday 21st from 10am until 1pm doing free face painting!

When booking parties/events don't forget your deposit.

All party/event bookings require a deposit (unless started otherwise)
Your deposit is due within 48hrs of receiving payment details (due time is also stated in the message with these details) to secure your time and without it, your chosen time will be given to someone else if there is someone on the waiting list. I no longer send out reminder messages so to ensure you don't forget and miss out I recommend payment is made right away.

My availability has changed!

I am now working full-time in a primary school so my services are no longer available to book during school hours.

I am also getting into the routine of being in the classroom full-time with children that have additional needs so will be getting back to anyone that has sent a message 🙂

Princess parties aren't just for children (or the young at heart) this furry friend loved meeting the Snow Queen and Ice Princess!

Happy 2023 and thank you for a wonderful 2022.
Through doing a rough calculation we created around 4000 smiles during 2022 through party and event entertainment!

I look forward to creating more smiles in 2023. If you would like to book me to attend your next party/event please get in touch.
I will be getting back to responding to messages and plan to be up to date tomorrow!

I hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas with their families!

I have taken a week to relax with my family and will now slowly be getting back to responding to any messages/enquiries before getting back to work as normal in 2023.

See you tomorrow for some free face painting between 10am and 1pm at PlayHut Party & Playcentre - Geelong for their annual Christmas party!

Head to playhut.com.au to secure your place

Come see Ebonie and I at McDonald's Ocean Grove on McHappy day between 11:30 and 1:30!

On Sunday not only did Kayla (Miss Millie Moo), Ebonie and I raise money for an amazing cause at Geelong's Market4Heartkids featuring Two feet & Heartbeat Walk. But we met the amazing family behind Sensory Kingdom and learnt why they do what they do and the heart-warming story behind their logo.

We were overcome by emotions because we had made these girls so comfortable in our space that we were rewarded not only with stickers, sensory toys and long conversation but what none of us was expecting, hugs (not just one hug each but multiple which is a major thing)

We always want everyone to feel comfortable in our space and it was such a special feeling knowing that we made this neurodiverse family feel so comfortable by just being ourselves. This will be a moment that none of us will forget and we have definitely made some lifelong friends.

Ebonie and I will be face painting at Geelong's Market4Heartkids featuring Two feet & Heartbeat Walk Sunday October 23rd!

We are so excited to be back again this year and we hope to raise even more this time around. $2 from every face we paint will be going to support children and families through their journey with CHD.

New prices as of October 1st!
Book your party/event in before then to be charged my current rates.

Thank you Miss Millie Moo for my beautiful rainbow bow! I can't wait to get more and match them with my earrings for my standard party/event outfit!

I had an amazing time yesterday and will be back again tomorrow, then Monday and Wednesday next week as well. So come on down and see me for some free face painting between 10am and 1pm!

Sorry I haven't been responding to messages or I have been responding really slowly. Over the past week I have been juggling placement in a school, work, study and my life responsibilities. I get home late and hardly have a chance to check my phone for messages before heading to bed to do it all over again!

My full week of placement is now over so I will now be able to get back on track. (I will still have a day or two of placement, two days of study and work seven days a week so please still be patient)
