Meet Natarsha: A nanny and babysitter in Waramanga, ACT

My name is Natarsha, I am 19 years old and currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts at ANU. I am seeking casual babysitting opportunities that align with my study schedule. I have held a driver’s license for two years, with a clean record and no accidents or fines, and I own my own car.

During my gap year, I worked at Pinocchio Early Learning Centre in Curtin, one of Canberra's leading childcare services. Since starting university, I have reduced my hours at the centre, but I am now looking for casual work that offers more flexibility. With almost two years of experience working with children, I am confident in my ability to care for children aged 6 months to 5 years. I take pride in creating safe, fun, and engaging environments where children can learn and grow.

Having had many babysitters myself growing up, I understand the importance of ensuring that children feel secure, respected, and stimulated during their time with a caregiver. I am energetic, enthusiastic, hardworking, and responsible, with a focus on creativity and fitness due to my long involvement in dance and performance.

I am passionate about both learning and teaching, which makes me not only a capable homework helper but also someone who can connect well with children through activities like reading, board games, and even chess. I am happy to provide references from both parents and my workplace upon request.
