Babysitters in Kowen, ACT

Hi there, My name is Emelyn. I’m 20 years old and a Queanbeyan local. I am currently a first-year Nursing student, which stems from my lifelong passion for caring for others. I come from a very large family, so looking after children has been a part of my daily life for over 10 years. From helping raise my younger siblings to currently assisting with my nephew’s before-and-after school routine, I am deeply familiar with the patience, energy, and responsibility required to keep kids happy and safe. Why choose me? I love being active, whether it’s sports, dancing, or exercising, I’ll keep the kids moving. If they prefer quiet time, I’m also big into arts and drawing. I’m a bit of a 'cleaning nerd' I love keeping things tidy and am more than happy to help with light housework. My nursing studies have taught me how to stay calm and patient in all situations.While I am currently in the process of organizing my formal checks, I have excellent parent references available to speak to my character and reliability. I live in South Yarra and use public transport, so I am very reliable for local families. Availability: Monday – Friday: 6:00am - 5:00pm Saturday: 06:00 am onwards (unavailable 10:00am). Sunday: Unavailable (Church) I am looking forward to meeting your family and providing a fun, safe, and tidy environment for your little ones!
