I have worked as a camp leader with children’s ages 4-12 for the past 4 summers, sometimes working with kids who have special needs. I have first aid training and am currently getting my high school degree.
Im looking to spend my time doing somthing i truly love which is spending time with children. I am 18 years old and ever since I was young I took a liking to caring for kids. I was a lunch helper at age 9-11 to kindergartners in which I was trusted to watch a whole class by myself. I would help out in the special needs room and even went to special Olympics to help. I’ve babysat for family friends and have taken care of twins (one with high level autism). I have always been good with kids who need extra attention either needs wise, “anger issues” or just simply misunderstood by others. I wanna help kids experience kindness and love showing them it’s okay to be different and to be themselves.
Caring, Patient, Involved Babysitter/Petsitter Eager to Help Out
Hello! I'm Charlotte! I will always treat your children with patience, kindness, and a smile. With me, you can have someone you can count on to work as hard as I possibly can to make sure your children are happy and safe.
I have previous experience assisting with childcare at a summer camp. I planned out activities, helped other counsellors, and bonded with groups of children. I assisted with general chores and food. I also babysat my younger sibling and helped him with reading. My experience with animals and with retail have also honed my cleaning and organizing skills. My extensive animal care experience and experience of having both a dog and a cat are great if you have pets too! I am currently planning to retake a course to refresh my memory of First Aid / AED.
When it comes to helping with your kid(s), I prioritize your wishes first. I will consult you on what expectations you have of me to ensure a perfectly tailored experience that makes everyone happy. Each child is unique and I will work hard and listen to your wisdom on how I can best guide and support them as they flourish as people (and hopefully have fun in the process)! While I generally like to clearly understand the wishes of parents, I can also think quickly and exercise common sense when needed. I prefer to do live-out but have some flexibility. I can speak some rudimentary French, and am hoping to improve.
Currently, I am a 4th year University of Guelph BSc. student hoping to improve my childcare skills and challenge myself while also saving and investing for my future. This means I will have a University student schedule, but due to hard work in previous years I have a smaller course load now that I near graduation. This means I have more time and energy to give. You can expect the diligence and flexibility of someone able to and hoping to learn and grow. I am happy to answer any questions you have and work with you! I look forward to getting to know your family!

I have worked with children as at a summer camp in the past. I planned out activities, helped other counsellors, and bonded with groups of children. I assisted with general chores and food. I also babysat my younger sibling and taught him how to read. I am a senior BSc student in Zoology at the University of Guelph and have prior experience both caring for pets (neighbours, my own) and more than exotic animals (zoo, wildlife rehab), meaning I can and want to care for all pets. I am currently planning on refreshing my First Aid / AED.
I am an experienced, mature and reliable child and pet carer. Available part time from November 2024-May/June 2025. Please reach out if you would like to discuss how I can help your family.

I am CPR certified and have extensive experience working with both children and animals. I’ve spent nearly two years as a camp counsellor, where I supervised and engaged with kids in a safe and supportive environment. In addition, I regularly volunteer at animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. My background in childcare, combined with my passion for animals and safety training, makes me a responsible and reliable choice for both pet sitting and babysitting.

I've worn many hats over the years.
Farm work, yard maintenance, factory labor, and other physically demanding roles. As for mind stimulating roles. I've worked as a draftsman, programmer, machine maintenance, and designed/crafted custom parts as needed.
The most uplifting of roles has to be the years I've cared for a couple of family's children. They've all grown up and could not be more proud of them.
I’m a responsible, caring, compassionate, and patient babysitter!
I’m 18 years old, I love taking care of kids in any aspect no matter if it is introducing new food, helping with homework, playing/exploring outside, sensory activities, or just reading or watching TV! My source of transportation is walking or busing, I can walk to you and/or do school pickup.

I am doing high online giving me flexible hours. I did complete a babysitting course at 13 to be able to care for siblings and cousins and haven’t updated it since but I have an up to date CPR and first add certificate. I have always loved taking care of kids which is why I plan to go into child studies after high school!
