My name is Ellie and I am naturally a friendly, welcoming and energetic person, looking for casual babysitting job whilst I'm at University.
I have grown up in an extremely close extended family and have always loved babysitting and being around children, which is why I want to continue this work in Canberra.

I am now in my second year of studies at ANU and I have always valued my education and the privilege of my life and have always strived to help those less fortunate. In year 12 I was Community Service Prefect at my school and now I am the secretary for TABOO ANU, where I help raise money to provide sanitary items to disadvantaged women overseas.
I am experienced in tutoring, in high school, I used to volunteer to tutor refugee children helping them to integrate to Australian schools and learn English. Not only was this work very rewarding but it helped me gain practical experience working with children. I have a car and I am a very experienced driver, having participated in driver safety courses. I also have a Practical First Aid certificate from St Johns Ambulance service.
I am hoping to connect with families that see me as an extension of theirs as I feel it is important to have this relationship when caring for your children.

Year 12, I completed Year 12 in Queensland achieving a high OP score., Currently studying Bachelor of International Security Studies and Development Studies
