Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi! I’m Jasmine, a 22-year-old student currently studying a double degree in Commerce and Design at the Australian National University. Alongside university, I’m also a small business owner, which has taught me a lot about responsibility, organisation, communication and balancing a busy schedule. I’ve been babysitting since I was 14 and have always genuinely loved being around kids. Alongside babysitting for a range of families over the years, I also regularly look after my young nieces and nephews, so caring for children (multiple at one time) has always been a big part of my life. I’m warm, reliable, creative and very hands-on. I love spending time outdoors, playing sport, doing creative activities, and I’m also very comfortable around pets. I’m the type of babysitter who loves getting involved — whether that’s arts and crafts, kicking the footy outside, helping with homework, baking, or simply keeping kids entertained and happy. I’m currently looking for more regular and consistent casual or part-time babysitting work. During semester I have university commitments on Thursdays and Fridays till 3, however I finish up soon and I’ll be completely free throughout June and July during the uni break and would love to take on extra work during that time. I adore kids and pride myself on creating a fun, safe and caring environment for them. Looking forward to connecting with some lovely families!

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.
