Hi! My name is Sophie and I am in year 12 at Canberra Girls Grammar School and just looking for some extra work around school hours now that I’ve got some extra time without sport. I've had experience babysitting for little kids before and have also spent time volunteering by coaching children at my school. Being the oldest child in my extended family I have also spent a lot of time around younger kids and work really well with them. My little sister is also allergic to peanuts so I have experience around EpiPens and what is needed to support her allergy. I am on my P plate license and am a capable and safe driver if the job requires it. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and hope to hear from you! 😊

Hi, my name's Georgia! I am in my forurth 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 children within one 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 favourite 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!

I’d love to hear from you!
