Hi! My name's Morven, I'm 21 and studying at ANU. I recently left my job as a nanny and am seeking casual babysitting roles across Canberra.
Hi! My name's Morven and I am seeking casual or regular babysitting work. I am a full time student, studying a Bachelor of Arts at ANU and majoring in anthropology and environmental studies. In my spare time, I love journalling and drawing, attempting to learn French (semi-successfully) and guitar (less successfully). I also love to get out of the city and into nature, so I'm looking for jobs that work around my schedule... and yours!

I am a full time student, studying a Bachelor of Arts at ANU and majoring in anthropology and environmental studies. In my spare time, I love journalling and drawing, attempting to learn French (semi-successfully) and guitar (less successfully). I also love to get out of the city and into nature, so I'm looking for jobs that work around my schedule... and yours!
I have plenty of babysitting (and petsitting) experience, having worked as a full-time nanny in a four-child household for the majority of last year (children aged 3/4, 5, 7 and occasionally cared for the family's newborn). My daily responsibilities included waking the kids up and making beds together, making/supervising breakfast, lunch and dinners, brushing teeth and getting dressed, bath time, visits to public parks and libraries, school and extra curricular activity drop off/pick up, play time, arts and crafts - you name it! I've also done the classic date night babysitting etc., which is more the speed of work I'm after at the moment.
I have all relevant checks (WWVP, WWCC, police check, first aid, CPR) and a driver's license + car. I live in Downer, though my family home is in Nicholls. I’m very happy to commute between these areas or within reason. So whether you're planning your next date night or heading out and need a hand, please feel free to contact me and arrange a chat! Thanks so much, Morven :)

What parents love about me
I am a reliable and bubbly carer. I am responsible and calm-headed, and always approach new or difficult situations positively and openly. I believe that communication is key and keep parents updated via text throughout the night. Plus, I'm always around for a chat!
What kids love about me
I like to approach activities creatively... and make "boring" things (such as brushing teeth) fun! It's important to me to make sure the children I work with feel heard, safe and accepted, so I make an effort to really connect and bond with the kids I babysit.
What I love about this work
I had reasonable experience babysitting before becoming a nanny last year, but really discovered my passion for childcare when I threw myself into the deep end (haha!). Watching these little people grow and figure out the world is so rewarding. Knowing that I'm making a difference in people's lives and partly guiding these kids through life, even just a little bit, is what brings so much joy into this work.
