I am a university student currently studying Psychology, which has helped me develop strong skills in understanding children’s behaviour, communication, and emotional support. I have completed a babysitting course and hold CPR certification, and I also have a police background check. I have several years of hands-on babysitting experience caring for toddlers and young children for families and relatives, where I’ve helped with playtime, meals, routines, and creating a safe environment.
I enjoy working for people, I don't require 500 dollars an hour either. I just want stable smooth work and people who are willing to hire me. I have credentials and references and work experience.

Education & Hands-On Experience
I am currently completing my secondary education. While I do not have formal professional child care certifications, my true credentials come from a lifetime of hands-on experience. Growing up in a large family with multiple younger siblings, I have spent years actively caring for children of all ages for extended periods. This unique background has given me real-world training in managing daily schedules, maintaining bedtime routines, and supervising multiple children safely.
Skills & Practical Training
• Meal Preparation: I am highly capable in the kitchen and experienced in preparing healthy, delicious meals and snacks for kids while keeping the space clean.
• Creative Engagement: I specialize in hands-on, screen-free activities, including arts, crafts, drawing, and storytelling to keep kids engaged and learning.
• Adaptable Care: Growing up in a busy household has trained me to be incredibly patient, adaptable, and sensitive to different child personalities, routines, and comfort levels.
Hi! My name is Brina. Been in Edmonton 8 months now. Originally from Lethbridge. I love kids! It has been a few years since my last job, but I am looking forward to start again. Don’t let my age or size fool you! Hope to hear from you soon!

I have taken care of children since I was 11 year’s professionally and since I was 8 years with my family. I am the oldest grandchild, sibling, child, and cousin in both of my families and always was the go to babysitter. The longest job I had ended 6 years ago with three children. I was the occasional babysitter for 6 years. The youngest was still potty training when I started watching her. I have been trained in CPR and first aid but it was like 15 years ago. I need to be certified again. When I was 11 years, I took a childcare training course and passed. Started babysitting right away after certification. First child, professionally, was a 15 month old.
I love children! Don’t let my age and weight fool you! Hope to hear from you soon!

I believe peers and teachers would describe me as outgoing, dedicated and kind. I’ve done volunteering in the past which has helped me come out of my shell and learn more things such as how to be more outspoken. I often babysit neighborhood kids, family friends, or even just nieces and nephews. I love babysitting because of how fun it is. I love making kids laugh and being happy. I think a smiling kid is the best kind of kid. I believe that all children should have the best childhoods that they can get. I try to have a positive perspective on everything which I think I pass onto the children I babysit.

My name is Zainab Hashi. I am a 16 year old high school student. I plan to study nursing and become a nurse. I am going to the 11th grade in the upcoming school year. I have no official training for babysitting, but I have babysat many kids before.
Hi! My name is Brooke, and I am a 19 year old female looking for a job. My schedule is completely flexible, and I have no issue working on holidays, weekends, nights, or public events. Because I need a job, I tend to keep the pay flexible and leave it up to negotiation, because I understand income struggles. I can provide a reference from when I was a live-in nanny for four, and I don't have any formal training or certificates but I can assure that I know what I'm doing.
I enjoy cultivating activities like baking cookies with children, going to the park, or swimming. I absolutely adore the outdoors and quite enjoy gardening and interior/exterior design.
I do not have my drivers license nor a vehicle, so I rely on Edmonton Public Transit as a means of transportation. If you would like me to organize activities such as going to the park, I can provide bus tickets to children who need them.

Currently all I have regarding credentials is a reference from the parents I was living with, and there I took care of the yardwork, household chores, cooking, baking, and four children ranging from newborn (I have also taken care of twins) to 14 years of age.
As for education, I am currently focusing on trying to earn myself a bit of volunteer and job experience, and will be doing modular homeschool next fall. I have completed Grade 9, and proceeded to informally study in hopes that I could take my GED.
Regarding training, I have no physical certificates or formal medical training. However, I was taught the basics on First Aid, I can handle administering medication (with instruction), and I also have swam with small children before and can provide CPR if needed. I am currently trying to earn some money doing babysitting, pet-sitting, or cleaning so that I can pay for the training that is normally required.

I have had my babysitting certificate(including basic first aid for infants & adults)for 5+yrs now, I have much experience looking after children of all ages. Feel free to reach out with any questions :)
My name is Payton and I've been babysitting for an impressive span of 10 years, hence interacting with kids feels as natural to me as breathing. This innate instinct, I believe, comes from being the eldest of 8 siblings - providing me with a rich and diverse experience of caring for children from their infancy to their teenage years.
I am well-versed with an array of child-related responsibilities that range from cooking and light housekeeping to doing exciting homework sessions and adhering to special dietary rules. My aim is always to create a safe, stimulating, and affectionate environment for the children under my care. Importantly, my skills extend to children with disabilities - an area where empathy and understanding are as needed as much as professionalism.
I am a certified nanny and also hold certifications in First Aid and CPR - all a testament to my dedication towards child care. I also have a college education and a high school diploma, making me well-equipped to help with educational tasks alongside looking after your child's day-to-day needs.
I am also a pet lover and capable of caring for any pets you might have at home. Moreover, I can help with tasks related to the furry members of your household like walking dogs.
As for my availability, I am open and flexible for all days of the week, at any time of the day or night. I am seeking a Full-Time or Part-Time role as a Nanny or a Babysitter and can start immediately.
At heart, I am a devoted, trustworthy, and dependable caregiver who can manage up to three children at a time. I am keen on giving my best and cannot wait for an opportunity to bring my considerable skills and vast love for children to a deserving family in Edmonton.
I don't have children of my own but I have had the opportunity to raise my nieces and nephews, as well as babysit for friends, or paid to babysit.
I am currently 16 years of age and in grade 10, I am proud to say I am an Honour roll student at a STEM institution in Edmonton, and aspire to go into the medical field in the future.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel within Edmonton for work.
