Nannies in Watson, ACT

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.

I hope you are doing well. I recently saw your post regarding a babysitting position and I am very interested. I am currently studying bachelor in early childhood education and I have a genuine interest in working with children. I am responsible, caring, and patient, and I enjoy spending time with kids while ensuring their safety and comfort. I would love the opportunity to support your family and take care of your child. Please let me know if you would like to discuss further. Thank you for your time.

Hi, I’m Evelyn! I’m a compassionate, reliable, and responsible university student currently studying a Bachelor of Human Nutrition at the University of Canberra, where I consistently achieve High Distinction results. I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting families in a caring, safe, and positive environment. I have experience working with children aged 9 months to 6 years through play-based learning and fitness classes, where I developed strong communication, patience, and engagement skills. I genuinely enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel comfortable and supported. Alongside childcare, I’m happy to assist with school and extracurricular pick-ups and drop-offs, light housekeeping, and cooking if required. I hold a current First Aid and CPR Certificate, a valid Working With Vulnerable People (WWVP) Check, and a full driver’s licence.

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!
