Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

Hi, My name is Saskia. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Health Science/Doctor of Medicine and Surgery at ANU. I am a Residential Mentor at my college, where I support students; wellbeing, help them settle into independent living, and foster a safe, inclusive community. This role has strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, and ability to support young people with patience and empathy. I also work as a maths and science tutor, supporting students across different year levels. I am very comfortable helping with homework, exam preparation, and building confidence in learning, and I enjoy adapting my approach to suit each childs personality and needs. Outside of study, I am actively involved in cross-country running and netball, and I used to play piano. I love encouraging kids to stay active, be creative, and have fun, whether thats outdoor play, structured activities, or quieter creative time. I volunteer with St John Ambulance and hold advanced first aid and oxygen therapy training, so safety and calm decision-making are always a priority for me. I am responsible, reliable, and caring, and I would love the opportunity to support your family.

Looking for: Part-time,Casual Babysitting

I’m a reliable babysitter with several years of experience working with children of different ages. For the past three years, I’ve coached netball, looking after multiple teams each year and regularly supervising groups of 10 to 12 kids aged between 9 and 14. This has given me lots of experience building strong relationships with children, managing groups, and creating a positive, supportive environment. I’ve also been babysitting the same family for three years, caring for a 6 year old and a 2 year old. This has involved dinner, bedtime routines, and providing calm, consistent care in the evenings. I’m very active, I row and play netball, and I love getting involved in games and activities with kids. I’m currently studying Politics, Philosophy and Economics at the Australian National University and am happy to help with homework. I also have a background in music, with piano to AMEB Grade 5 and flute to AMEB Grade 6, so I’m always keen to support kids in whatever they’re interested in. As I’m moving to Canberra, I’m hoping to find a family I can get to know and support long term, and I’m flexible with evenings, after school care, and regular arrangements.

I am a caring, reliable, and enthusiastic young adult who genuinely loves working with children and supporting families. I have completed Year 12 and currently work at Water Wombats, where I support children in warm-water programs that focus on confidence, emotional regulation, and comfort in the water. Many of the children I work with have disabilities or additional needs, including sensory sensitivities, anxiety, or developmental differences, which has helped me develop patience, empathy, and a strong ability to adapt to each child’s individual needs. I truly enjoy spending time with children and find it incredibly rewarding to support their growth, confidence, and independence. In my role, I help create a calm, safe, and encouraging environment, follow structured routines, and support children one-on-one so they can feel secure and successful at their own pace. I love celebrating small wins and building trusting relationships with the children I care for. Previously, I have worked as a swim teacher and assisted with teaching dance to younger children, helping them build confidence, coordination, and self-expression in a fun and supportive way. I hold a current police check and CPR certification and place a strong emphasis on safety, trust, and clear communication with families. I am responsible, approachable, and genuinely excited to care for children as if they were my own, creating a positive, nurturing environment where they feel safe, happy, and supported.
