Babysitters in Forrest, ACT

Hi there! I’m a student experienced in childcare who has recently returned from living overseas. I am fun loving and enjoy spending time being creative (including making up fun games to play). I also love the outdoors and am an avid animal lover. My background is as a tutor and language teacher. I have a few overseas qualifications in first aid. I do not currently have a WWVPC but would be willing to get one once I can afford it.

Heya! My name is Caitlin, I'm 18 years old, and I was raised in Wellington, New Zealand. I moved to Canberra earlier this year to study at the ANU. I have been babysitting casually since I was 14, and am looking to get back into it again now that I have settled into my new life here in Canberra. I am an artist, and all of my favourite activities to do with kids involve getting crafty! I have a big collection of art supplies (crayons, origami paper, finger paint, gel pens, and even more!!) that I would love to share with your children, if they're up for it! As a person, I am positive, upbeat, and pride myself on being kind and understanding, as these are traits that I value in the people I surround myself with! Ensuring the comfort, safety, and happiness of the kids in my care will always be my priority, and for this reason, I place a lot of value on communication with both parents and children. I am comfortable cleaning and cooking, provided I am informed of any dietary requirements beforehand. Pets are not a problem, either. I hope to get in touch with you soon! Kind regards, Caitlin Daw

Hi parents! I’m a fun, reliable and energetic babysitter who loves working with kids.

I graduated from Monte Sant’ Angelo Mercy College in 2024 as Dux of French Extension, French Continuers and English Standard, and I speak fluent French. I’ve also worked in retail, hospitality and customer service, building strong communication and responsibility skills. I’m always up for games, sport and music, and I’m available whenever needed.

Hi! My name is Lucy, I am 18 years old and moved from Sydney to Canberra at the beginning of the year to start uni. I am currently living in a college studying a Bachelor of Commerce full time at ANU. I am a friendly and down-to-earth person, and the eldest of four kids, so I have always been around younger children and have naturally taken on caregiving responsibilities from a young age. I have lots of experience babysitting my younger siblings, as well as cousins and family friends, and I really enjoy it. I am responsible, reliable and friendly and great with kids of all ages. I'm naturally energetic and love engaging kids in activities like outdoor play, arts and crafts, homework help, or simply keeping them entertained and safe. I'm passionate about cooking and would be happy to help prepare family meals or pack school lunches. I also have a special place in my heart for animals, having grown up with both a dog and cat, so I'm very comfortable looking after pets and can assist with walks or feeding if needed. While I don't currently have a car in Canberra, I hold a P2 NSW driver's license and am comfortable driving both automatic and manual vehicles if required. Otherwise, I'm happy to walk or use public transport to get around. I'm seeking a casual/part-time babysitting or nannying position that can work around my university schedule. I'd love to become a trusted and reliable part of your family's routine! I'm currently in the process of obtaining my Working With Children Check. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to chat further.
