Matthew is a writer and illustrator in Sydney, Australia, and the father of three beautiful kids who he absolutely adores. Matthew is most widely known as the creator of Kidsit.com, a wildly popular babysitting website where he helps thousands of babysitters and parents every week.

Matthew founded Kidsit in 2018 when he noticed there was a lack of quality babysitting information online for parents and babysitters. He decided to do something about it, and so, Kidsit was born.

Through Kidsit, Matthew has collaborated with babysitters, parents, childcare workers, teachers, and medical professionals to pursue his goal to create the most trustworthy babysitting resource on the internet and to help as many people as possible.

Kidsit is a place where Matthew shares his experiences caring for his three children, his tricks for finding and hiring babysitters, and how to keep kids entertained with arts, crafts, and other inventive play ideas. He believes all children should have an endless supply of paper, pencils, string, and sticky tape.

Matthew’s artistic talent comes from growing up on a farm in a creative family with his father, a professional artist, and a private art teacher.

In 1994 he started his career as a cartoonist publishing his “Ogga the Cane Toad” comic strip and became a full member of the Australian Cartoonists Association, the oldest cartoonist organization in the world. He then began working as a graphic designer to supplement his cartooning income.

In 1997 Matthew built his first website and began a transition to a full-time career in web development.

While building websites professionally for more than 20 years Matthew maintained a balance between his technical and creative skills by continually drawing.

From 2000 to 2019 he studied life drawing and anatomy at Julian Ashton Art School in Sydney, Australia.

In 2020 Matthew quit his day job to focus exclusively on making Kidsit the best babysitting resource on the internet and he published his first babysitting book “Babysitting Business Secrets” later that year.

Matthew spends each day writing articles, building babysitting tools, and drawing illustrations to help create a unique and memorable website that visitors can enjoy. If you’re interested in childcare then you really must visit Kidsit.com.
