Babysitters in The Gap, QLD

Hi, I’m an 18 year old psychology student at the University of Queensland! I am eager to do some childcare work as I study and would love to help out families in any way I can. I often babysit my young cousins and have experience looking after the younger kids at sport. My capabilities extend from caring for the children, helping them with homework, to everyday household chores. I have a valid blue card and am planning to undergo First Aid and CPR training. I am also willing to obtain a police check.

I have worked in childcare since I was 16 and have been assistant in a nursery, Early Childhood Teacher and a lead in the Toddler room. I love children and have made lasting relationships with them where I have been lucky enough to look after them in nursery and see them again in Kindergarten. I babysit for past families from daycare and have become regulars for them all as they trust me and love having me around. I have my first aid, Blue Card, A car seat for my own vehicle, and my Bachelor in early childhood education. I have taken a step away from childcare to refocus on study and take a new path for my future. I am wanted to still making meaningful and loving connections with families and still be able to complete my studies. If you have any question I would love to hear from you!

Hi! I’m a student currently studying a Bachelor of Speech Pathology. As the eldest of seven children, I’ve grown up helping care for my younger siblings, which has given me plenty of hands-on experience with kids of all ages. On top of that, I’ve worked with children through my clinical placements and tutoring roles. I bring a fun, calm, and empathetic approach to babysitting. I aim to connect with each child by aligning activities with their interests to keep them engaged, entertained, and feeling comfortable. I always try to create a positive and safe environment where kids can feel heard and supported.

Hello! My name is a Sophie. I am 21 years old and a 3rd year psychology student. I am currently working for disability support work but love working with kids!

I have 9 years experience babysitting children from 2 months to 14 years old. I just graduated as a primary school teacher and I’m looking to fill the school holidays with some casual babysitting before I start work next year as a teacher. My rate per hour depends on the day and number of children but starts from $30 an hour. I look forward to hearing from you. I am available in Brisbane and the Gold Coast as I go between both places regularly.

Over the past year, I have spent extensive time tutoring and babysitting children at a boarding school, an experience I genuinely loved and found incredibly rewarding. Working closely with kids has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to create a safe, positive, and engaging environment. I am a bubbly, confident, and naturally positive person who brings energy and enthusiasm into everything I do. Outside of work, I deeply value quality time with my family and friends, as strong relationships and community are an important part of who I am

I have a large family with two younger brothers and lots of little cousins. I am usually the one left in charge of them and my extended family have asked for my help looking after their kids while they're busy (they're around 5-8 depending on the cousin). I have a planned course to go into primary education first through TAFE and QUT, but due to personal and family matters, I am getting some work experience first.

I am a recent university graduate in Paddington, Brisbane. As the youngest member of my family, I have always wanted younger relatives, which led to my passion for childcare. I greatly enjoy brightening people's days and making their lives easier. My other passions include reading and creative writing. I have high enthusiasm and energy, but I also know when it's time to settle down. I am punctual and respectful, I follow any given instructions carefully and ask questions to clarify any grey areas. I don't mind long bedtime routines in the slightest, and housework is no issue. I love to have fun and play games! My speciality is story-telling. I have even written a children's book for The Kids' Cancer Project! I am fair with children and reward their honesty. In January 2018, I began caring for a newborn girl. In October, her mother had twin girls who I also cared for. They were three months premature, causing the oldest twin to require oxygen tubes for some time. I cared for all three girls at once from newborns to ages three and four. I would feed them, change their nappies, get them to sleep, and entertain them throughout the day. In 2019 I took on a fourth girl who was one year old. My work included feeding her, changing her, bath time, dressing her, picking her up from daycare, putting her to sleep, and taking her out on day trips. For a short time in 2021, I cared for two brothers ages three and five. My duties included naps, bath time, meals, playtime, and days out. Halfway through 2021, I began caring for an eleven-year-old girl through to her twelfth birthday in early 2022. Her mother is off work for the time being, so I was no longer needed. My duties included school pick-up, chore checking, making dinner, homework help, and dishwashing. From January to February 2022 I cared for a nine-month-old boy. This position was short because the family were staying in the state only temporarily due to housing trouble. My duties included feeding, playtime, naps, baths, and assistance with learning to crawl. I have cared for many more children in short-term positions as seen on my resume. In 2022, I moved away from home and worked as a stablehand in the hinterlands. I've now moved to Brisbane and am returning to the nanny industry.

Hi families, My name is Emily and I am a 26 year old engineering student. I am currently looking for weekday morning work, or alternatively casual babysitting work on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 2pm onwards. Outside of study I love reading, horse riding and cooking. I have looked after children from ages 2 onwards, ensuring they are safe and entertained at all times.

I am always up for an adventure whether it be sports, arts and crafts, or taking the dog for a walk. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi! My name is Lauren and I’m a caring and responsible adult who enjoys supporting children to feel safe, valued, and encouraged. Growing up in a rural community and as one of four children, I’ve interacted with kids of all ages and understand the importance of community in a child’s development. I’ve coached MiniRoos soccer teams and love spending time with my niece, helping her learn, explore, and stay active. Being school captain taught me to balance the needs of students, rules, and parents, and I now bring that same sense of responsibility and understanding to my work with children. I strongly believe it takes a village to raise a child, and children are shaped by everyone around them, including their nanny. This type of work suits me perfectly, allowing me to balance study, work, and physical activity while being a positive influence in children’s lives.
