Babysitters in Cook, ACT

I am a mature 67 year old female looking for some additional work after recently closing my business in Kingston, which was a Lifestyle retail store. I am currently employed on a casual basis, and have been for just over six (6) years with the ACT Government, in the Cultural Facilities Corporation, at the Canberra Theatre Centre. My availability for this position is self managed, and therefore I can be flexible with my current working commitments, allowing me the opportunity to find some additional work. I still have plenty of energy and strive to keep myself busy and active in life and have an excellent driving history with many years of experience. Prior to moving to Canberra in 2021, I was self employed in a business in Thredbo for 19 years.

As a devoted grandmother, I bring a wealth of love, patience, and hands-on experience from raising my own family and caring for my grandchildren.

I’m skilled at engaging children with creative activities, storytelling, and gentle guidance. My natural warmth and reliability make me someone children feel comfortable with, and parents can trust. I understand the importance of balancing fun with structure, ensuring every child feels cared for and supported in my presence.
