Babysitters in Forrest, ACT

My name is Chloe and I have 5+ years of experience caring for children - as a nanny, primary school teacher, Special Ed teacher, and disability support worker. I encourage children to be creative, pursue their interests, grow confidence in what they do, and build healthy conversational skills. I don't mind cooking meals, and I am not opposed to helping with the occasional laundry, dishes, and tidying. I'm happy to drive children places when required, but I do apologise about the occasional dog hair that appears in my car after weekend hikes. I have recently started studying at Australian National University to receive my Masters of International Relations. Previously, I have studied a Master of Teaching Primary Education. I have nannied for the same two families in Melbourne for the last five years. I am happy to provide references. I charge slightly more per hour on Sundays. Thanks, Chloe

Hi! My name is Tuba, and I’m a creative and caring person who enjoys spending time with children. I love doing fun activities like drawing, crafting, playing games, and exploring new things together.

Hi parents! I’m Issie, and am a student studying Commerce and Asian Studies at the Australian National University. I graduated from Geelong Grammar in 2023 and am 20 years old. I’ve had around 4 years of experience working with children from the ages of 4 to 12 where I worked both as a ballet teacher and netball coach. During this experience I have loved working with kids to help them grow in confidence, develop new skills, and enjoy being active and creative. I’m someone who brings a calm and positive energy, and I always try to create a safe and supportive environment where children feel comfortable. In terms of qualifications, I have a Working with Children's Check and am very open to gaining more qualifications should you require it. Thanks so much, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I love to work with kids

Hi! I’m Jamy, 25 years old from Germany, currently living in Canberra as an au pair since July 1st, 2025. I have experience with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, and grew up with four brothers. I’m cheerful, reliable, and love staying active—going to the gym, walking, and exploring new places. I enjoy cooking, baking, and helping around the house. I have a valid driver’s license, my own car, and I’m flexible with my schedule. I’m now looking for a part-time job alongside my au pair duties. I’d love to bring joy and support to your family!

Hi, my name's Georgia! I am in my third year of university, and have experience both as a babysitter and a tutor! As a babysitter during the covid era, a lot of my initial babysitting experience came from offering to take the children in my neighborhood to the park or to other outdoor activities during the day to give their parents a break while they had to work from home. I learnt a lot from this experience - I sometimes was looking after upwards of 5 kids from the ages of 4 to 12, so learning how to keep them all engaged, safe and happy was very essential. Most of my experience post-covid was mostly looking after the children within on family. I've mostly babysat for families with 2+ kids, and am comfortable with getting dinner on the table and putting the kids to bed. One of my favorite things about babysitting is getting to know the children over time, so if you're looking for a more consistent babysitter rather than a one-off, I'm happy for that as well!
