Babysitters in Higgins, ACT

Hi there! My name is Neve, I am 18 years old. I am a responsible, calm and patient babysitter with a genuine love for working with children. Although I don't have professional experience yet, I have spent a lot of time caring for my many cousins as well as family friends’ kids. I absolutely love pets and cooking, chores and even helping with homework. I'm a great reader and enjoy crafting, getting creative and playing games with kids. I'm also first aid certified, so you can trust me to keep your little ones safe. I'd be delighted to meet your family and discuss how I can provide a nurturing and fun experience for your kids and/or pets!

Hi, my name's Ingrid. I'm a nanny and tutor with over 8 years of experience. At the moment (as of July 2024) I am looking regular part-time work (max 16hrs/week) or one-off casual work around Canberra, particularly in West Belconnen. My available days and times are current as of 05/07/2024 and I am very particularly interested in school drop-offs in the mornings, but could also do pick-ups on Thurs/Fri. I'm partway through my Masters of Social Work and will finish at the end of this year and fiiiinally be done with studying! I love working with kids and have done so all through my university career. I have a full, clean license and my own car, and a booster seat suitable for 4 years and up (happy to use your seats too!). I'm a massive sociology nerd and avid reader who will rant at length about the history of the bicycle if you give me the opportunity. I completed my honours year in 2019 studying the use of hashtags for reasons besides categorisation on the website Tumblr (sociology) and published a journal article about it with my colleague in 2021! I'm also a big fan of Doctor Who and fantasy/sci-fi, the sort of fan who'll ruin trivia nights. I don't drink or smoke, but I do have a (hypoallergenic, Russian Blue) cat so if you or your child have severe allergies please keep this in mind. I love to fill in time doing arts & crafts with kids, helping them with their homework (I've also been a tutor for 8 years!) or playing games. I really believe in incorporating learning into day-to-day life and I like to think the kids like it too. I have experience with kids aged 3 months - 17 years. References on request.

I am a confident and out going young lady who has a great big passion for children. I would love to be a helping hand for any parents that need it.

I am an outgoing and friendly person with a curious mind. I am known for asking lots of questions because I love to learn. Even when there is nothing to do, I can make anything fun or create a game or activity. My family are loud and loving and we enjoy spending time together. Others would describe me as funny, a hard worker and a soft heart. I like keeping fit and being active, I particularly like going on runs. I also like fashion and jewellery and love looking up different outfits even if I don't buy them. I have extensive experience in babysitting and have only recently returned from France where I worked as an au pair for two little boys. My duties included picking them up from school, helping with homework, preparing dinner and getting them ready for bed.

... and live-out nanny. Mature with long term experience educating & caring for my own children, other's in childcare centres or in my/their homes. Previously worked as a qualified/childcare educator in childcare centres mostly 2007-2023. Wishing to continue working as a nanny/day-time babysitter. Desiring 4 whole or part time days per week. Have previously started as early 08:00, willing to start earlier, for school drop offs or finished as late as 20:30 after school pick ups. Not necessarily seeking to finish that late. Transported children to & from after school activities in my or supplied by families cars with supplied child car seat/s. Term 1 this year I did school pick ups & cared for 6yr old & 9 yr old sibling a few afternoons a week similar to my (lower down the page) 2022 family. Their care requirements had changed for term 2 so I have blanket availability. Over the 2022 school year, I regularly worked as a live-out nanny for a 4yr old & 6yr old siblings. I cared for the 4yr old at least most of one day a week & drove her to her daytime activities & both to after school swimming lessons. Was approx 20 hours/week. During extreme weather I would encourage/join in with card/board games, make available indoor activities such as art, sewing & craft. Able to bring my sewing machine. I discourage screen time. Very open to your ideas of extracurricular activities & once I know your family better & your local area I am confident to make suggestions to you. Very capable & willing to assist with homework. I have parent, personal & work referees. Still do the odd school pick up/Fri or Sat late afternoon til late evening care for my 2022 family. My family & I are very outdoorsy. We have a large vegetable garden. We took our children camping, bicycling, on picnics on remote river banks & on long caravan road trips. As far as I am concerned there is no such thing as bad weather as long as you have the appropriate clothing (except of course the extreme outdoor sun & heat of summer.) Would do indoor activities in these instances. Love to jump in puddles or mud, go for long walks to local playgrounds or transport children to outdoor destinations. Would love to hear from you to discuss the care of your child/ren
