Hi! My name is Sophie and I am in year 12 at Canberra Girls Grammar School and just looking for some extra work around school hours now that I’ve got some extra time without sport. I haven’t had a lot of experience with babysitting through these sorts of channels however I have spent time volunteering by coaching younger kids at my school. Being the oldest child in my extended family I have also spent a lot of time around younger kids and work really well with them. My younger sister is also allergic to peanuts so I have experience around EpiPens and what is needed to support her allergy. I am on my P plate license and am a capable and safe driver if the job requires it. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and hope to hear from you! 😊

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!

Looking for: Full-time,Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Over the past six years, I have had the privilege of caring for children across a wide range of ages and stages, which has given me a deep, practical understanding of child development, and allow me to bring both enthusiasm and confidence to every family I work with. My background spans both formal nannying roles and regular babysitting arrangements. Throughout my years of experience, I have supported children with a wide variety of needs and personalities. I have managed many varying tasks including homework help, extracurricular pickups, meal preparation, changing nappies/infancy care and house organisation. I take a warm, respectful, and consistent approach to childcare. I communicate openly and regularly with parents, providing updates throughout the day and flagging anything of note promptly and honestly. I am currently employed as a nanny, and am seeking further work within this field as I genuinely love building relationships with young children and helping them to develop and grow. I am currently seeking a full-time position (very flexible) for a one-month period, from the 15th of June through to the 15th of July, and am flexible to support from after this date, dependent on my university timetable. I am fully committed and available throughout this time.

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!
