I am an 18 year old Nursing student, once I graduate from my bachelor I plan on specialising in pediatric care. I have always loved working with and caring for children. I spent my teen years volunteering for a youth camp. I love the creativity of children and understanding the way they see the world as well as being able to teach, protect and support them when interacting with the world outside the bubble of childhood. I am used to working with children with special needs and am prepared to do whatever it takes to ensure both guardian and child feel comfortable.

I am wonderfully cheerful and an absolute hit around children! I've been babysitting casually for my mums friends for around a year and a half now and i have absolutely adored taking care of children. I've loved it so much, in fact, that i now work as a before school care worker for primary school kids and also coach 8-14 year olds in soccer. I'm incredibly capable of controlling children whilst also inspiring them to have fun and grow as a person. Ever since i was 12 my mum would always leave me to take care of my little cousins because they would listen to me and enjoy themselves so much that they wouldn't cry (which my aunties loved..). However, besides this fun side I'm also incredibly mature, dedicated and organised. For years I've pushed and applied myself where necessary, whether it be to gain soccer skills or get the best grade possible. This discipline is reflected through my current education at the Australian National University, which i work incredibly hard to get into.

I love to plan and implement the activities for the children to explore and try for their development. I am very flexible for hours and days. I am willing to do light housework and preparing small snacks/meals for children.

As a child keeper, I am a nurturing and patient guardian, creating a safe and loving environment where children can thrive. My ability to connect with young minds fosters trust, allowing me to guide them with care and understanding. With a keen sense of responsibility, I balance discipline and kindness, teaching valuable life skills while encouraging creativity and play. My adaptability helps me address each child’s unique needs, ensuring their emotional and physical well-being. Whether through storytelling, activities, or attentive listening, I inspire confidence and joy in children, making their growth and happiness my top priority.

Hi families ! My name is Molly and I am a third year university student studying at ANU, originally from Sydney, undertaking a double degree of PPE/Arts (history and global security) and am enjoying my time. Throughout high school I held several continuous babysitting jobs with families and post graduating I have been working as a high school tutor and within a school after school programme, helping to support students who need an extra hand in grasping content and getting work done. The most rewarding part of working with kids is watching them grow as people and in confidence with you, forming good relationships which I hope to do with one of you. I have my own car and hold an unrestricted license. I also hold my WWVP and first aid certification.

I am a current uni student, and I have plenty of experience caring for children. I mostly work with kids between 3-7 years old, but I am more than open to other ages.

My name is Kayla, I’m a 17-year-old girl that has just graduated from college. I am currently also studying to get my diploma in beauty therapy so find something to keep me productive and occupied on my off days. I am a very hands-on girl and just love to always be doing something, I had a massive passion for beauty my whole life and always wanted to study it I love being able to make people feel good about them self’s and just being able to meet all different types of people with all different backstories. My plan is to start an LSA role at the start of the school year in 25 while still studying after getting my diploma I will be then going to uni to get my bachelor’s in nursing which will then hopefully lead me to opening my own business in all aspects of not only beauty but cosmetics.

I am passionate about making a positive impact on the lives of children, and that is what is most rewarding. I believe that a nurturing and supportive environment is crucial for their healthy development. Knowing that I can create a positive atmosphere, offer them learning experiences, and help them navigate challenges is what makes me feel fulfilled in this role. The chance to help shape the future, even in a small way, is very motivating to me

As a parent of a 9-year-old daughter with allergies and neurodiversity, I bring a wealth of personal experience to my babysitting services. With a bachelor's degree in medical science, 2+ years of experience working in mental health, and first aid training, I am well-equipped to handle social, emotional, and medical needs. Additionally, I am an experienced tutor with a keen interest in STEM. Currently saving for a house, so I am looking to spend my "kid-free" weekends earning money, rather than spending it.

Experienced Babysitter Available – Flexible Hours Hi, I’m Natarsha! I’m 20 years old and currently studying a Bachelor of Arts at ANU. I’m looking for babysitting opportunities that fit around my university schedule. I have nearly two years of experience working with children aged 6 months to 5 years, including my time at Pinocchio Early Learning Centre in Curtin—one of Canberra’s top childcare services. I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and excited to learn. With a full driver’s licence, a spotless record, and my own car, I’m happy to assist with school drop-offs, pick-ups, or outings. I also bring a creative and active approach to babysitting, thanks to my background in dance and performance. Whether it’s arts and crafts, board games, reading, or helping with homework, I love keeping kids engaged. Having had many babysitters myself growing up, I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident in their choice of caregiver. I’m responsible, energetic, and happy to provide references from both parents and my workplace upon request. If you’re looking for a reliable babysitter with flexible availability, I’d love to chat! Feel free to reach out. 😊

I am an outgoing and friendly person with a curious mind. I am known for asking lots of questions because I love to learn. Even when there is nothing to do, I can make anything fun or create a game or activity. My family are loud and loving and we enjoy spending time together. Others would describe me as funny, a hard worker and a soft heart. I like keeping fit and being active, I particularly like going on runs. I also like fashion and jewellery and love looking up different outfits even if I don't buy them. I have extensive experience in babysitting and have only recently returned from France where I worked as an au pair for two little boys. My duties included picking them up from school, helping with homework, preparing dinner and getting them ready for bed.
