I have been employed as an Early Childhood Educator since 2013. My primary tasks focused on Education and care, planning and supervision in a healthy and safe environment. My passion for helping children to reach their full potential and develop into healthy happy individuals has been the driving force behind my studies in Children’s Services. I believe that open communication and partnership with families is essential to provide continuity of care, consistency and security for the children.
I AM reliable and hardworking, very organized and punctual. I behave in a professional manner at all times with my strengths in communicating and collaboration. I AM flexible in supporting the needs of children and families and I relate very well to them.

Experienced Babysitter Available – Gungahlin
Hi Families,
I’m Jeyda, a warm and reliable babysitter with over 3 years of experience. I take a play-based approach, using creative and educational activities to keep children engaged while supporting their development.
I enjoy learning about topics like sustainability, psychology, nutrition, and play-based learning to better support the kids in my care. I also love arts and crafts and am always finding new, fun, and sustainable activity ideas.
Outside of babysitting, I work at MARSS Canberra (supporting migrant and refugee families) and run Turkish art workshops as a casual instructor. These roles have helped me build strong communication skills and cultural awareness.
I hold a Diploma of Leadership and Management and am very detail-oriented—always planning activities that suit each child’s age, interests, and personality. I also enjoy cooking and am happy to help with light household tasks.
Certificates:
• WWVP
• Childcare First Aid (HLTAID012)
• First Aid (HLTAID011, HLTAID010)
• CPR (HLTAID009)
• Police Check
Just a quick note—I don’t drive, but I’m reliable with public transport and happy to travel within 10–15 km of the Gungahlin

I am only available on mondays and fridays and fridays.
I have worked in childcare for ten years, the majority of which time I have been a Room Leader. I have a Bachelor of Education (birth to five years). I am a strong advocate for children and their rights, and believe in personalised care and education.
The family are the most influential people in a child's life, and I enjoy listening to your expertise and sharing my own with you. I believe we must work together in order to do what is best for your child/ren so they can achieve their best. This is crucial because the most development of our entire lives occurs in these early years.
My priority is to ensure that your child/ren is/are happy and that I have a trusting and reciprocal relationship with them. Only then will they be able to play and learn. My extensive experience and academic background will allow me to plan and implement a range of engaging experiences that are based on your child/ren's interests, skills and developmental needs.
For more, please see my fb page, Phoebe - professional nanny.

I've been living in Canberra since 2018. I have been also working in childcare and babysitting since 2019.
Looking after young children has been my passion since I was in grade school. I would love to see them grow and see them develop their confidence as they grow old.
I had an experience during covid where I'd helped children in making their home activities such as teaching them multiplication, learn how to write numbers and alphabetical, learn how to read, and many more.
As a very tidy person, I would always want to see the house/room to be clean. I always tidy the toys or help children to tidy once they're done playing with it.

I think my best experience really is my own motherhood journey. i have two boys and I'm a single mom who only not provide financially to my children but most importantly provide a holistic care such as their emotional, spiritual, physical needs. i can also multi task which means, i can do house chores without losing eye contact to the child i look after. i love music so i can integrate my talent while doing child care. it may be a little critical especially when it comes to the kid's safety, that's why its important to always keep an eye on them but as for me these are basic knowledge that requires common sense and that natural big heart to do the task perfectly. i naturally loves children and care for them as they are my own. yes i do this to get extra income but i believe that nanny play a very important role to teach children and create impact on their young minds to act accordingly while they enjoy their childhood stage and to help support parents while they do their jobs.

Hello!
I’m Clélia, a French 25-yo child psychologist. Currently an aupair and a part-time carer in a childcare space, I’m looking for an ongoing part-time job as a nanny in Canberra. From the 5th of Jan, I have Thurs/Fri off. Otherwise, I’m available 4 days/week when my aupair position ceases in Feb. I'm also interested in casual babysitting in the evenings/on the weekends.
I have a master’s degree in developmental psychology. I’m especially comfortable with taking care of infants, and with communicating about your child’s whereabouts and needs. Nevertheless, whatever age your children are, I’ll be like a big sister to them. In the past 10 years, I have been a nanny and a holiday camp counsellor for children aged up to 12-yo!
I’m lively, reliable, and nurturing. I hope you are the next family I have the pleasure of helping!
I look forward to meeting with you soon. Kindly, Clélia
---
WWVP check, First Aid, CPR, and police check up-to-date. Driver’s licence and car. Resume and references available!
Hourly rate depends on age and number of children, and on payment of super and tax – from $35 to $45 net per hour.
Communication is key; if there's anything you’d like to discuss further or are unsure about, reach out!

10 years of experience working with children as a primary teacher in Bhutan and two year as child care educator in Australia. I believe I have the skills and qualifications to excel in this role.
I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver who has a passion for working with children of all ages. I have experience creating engaging and educational activities to help children learn and grow, as well as providing a safe and nurturing environment for them to thrive in.
My previous experience has allowed me to develop excellent communication skills, which I believe are essential when working with both children and parents. I am also able to handle multiple tasks and responsibilities at once, ensuring that children's needs are always met.
I have my first aid for babies and children with Australian Red Cross.
Currently I am working as a part time permanent childcare educator in Canberra.
I am confident that I would make a valuable addition to your family, and I would love the opportunity to discuss my experiences, references and qualifications further.

My name is Haley, I am an American citizen currently living in Canberra (Franklin) seeking full time work.
I moved to Australia in March, from Phuket, Thailand where I lived for the past four and a half years! I moved overseas to work as a kindergarten teacher at a British International School where I taught 2-6 year old children.
I have extensive experience in working with children, including childcare. I graduated with a 4 year degree in bachelors of science, with a focus in public health. Throughout high school and university I have had the privilege of working as a professional live in nanny to a 2 month old little girl, worked as a camp counselor (art instructor), mentored children of all ages at the Boys and Girls Club, as well as working as a child and adolescent treatment specialist at an inpatient facility. I have also lived short term in New Delhi, India, where I did an internship with an institute called MAMTA, which advocates for mothers and children. I carry a WWVP check as well as first aid/CPR.
