Hi! My name is Julia. I am a first year university student at York University. I’ve been working as a lifeguard/swim instructor for 3 years now and wish to expand my career to babysitting. During these years, I have taught children how to be safe in the water, basic first aid, to be proud of their achievements, and get along with their peers. Additionally, I have volunteered with summer camps in which I have assisted children in reading, writing, going to the bathroom, and meal time. I am certified in Standard/Emergency First Aid, CPR, and High Five: Principles of Healthy Childhood Development. I absolutely love working with kids, and I am able to cook or bake anything you ask, and am more than happy to help with homework or chores. I also have a car so I am able to pick children up from school or take them to activities if needed. Please reach out to me if you have any questions!

My name is Aisha and I'm 16 years old. I love working with children — especially toddlers! I have been looking after my younger cousins since they were babies, so I have experience regarding childcare.
Because I am in school, my availability isn't 24/7, but I am happy to help whenever I can! After-school care, weekends, or date nights! I speak English, Urdu, Punjabi, and Hindi. I'm happy to help with homework and light house-work. I'm also a cat owner, so I love pets! I'd love to provide trustworthy, enthusiastic care to give you total peace of mind.
Please contact me to find out exactly when I am avaliable!

I am a responsible 16-year-old high school student who excels in English and History, making me well-suited to help children with homework and tutoring. My practical training comes from years of hands-on experience caring for my younger cousins from infancy through toddlerhood. Additionally, as a pet owner, I have a proven track record of daily reliability. I am dedicated, patient, and focused on creating a safe, trustworthy environment for your family.
My name is Keziah. I'm a 16 year old girl from Brampton. Although I don't have much formal working experience, I do have alot of experience in babysitting my niece, younger cousins and family friends over the years. I am eager to start immediately as a part-time babysitter, housekeeper, and cleaner. I am available monday to sunday for various shifts. I do not smoke or do any substances and I am a really good swimmer if thats relevant. I've always been really good with kids, especially babies. I'm patient and i actually find joy in taking care of kids. I am capable of performing duties such as cleaning, doing laundry, cooking, meal prep, grocery shopping, and pet care. I really love animals as well so i dont mind pets at all. I am looking for a live-out position in babysitting and/or house cleaning. My goal is to create a safe, comforting, and clean environment for my clients.
EXTRA you don't have to read:
The reason I am seeking for a job is because me and my family aren't really in the best financial situation and I'm trying everything I can to help support them and also build my own future at the same time. I've been applying for jobs since I was 13 with absolutely no luck because the job market is pretty bad and also discriminatory at the moment. I'm not trying to guilt trip but please if you are reading this, it would mean the world to me if you were to even just consider hiring me, Even if you decided not to hire me, at least I can know that I am capable of getting hired by someone else eventually. Again, I really enjoy taking care of people (not just kids!), my future career is all about taking care of babies but I'm afraid I won't be able to succeed without a stable foundation like a university fund (which I am desperately trying to build).
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time, Full-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Brampton for work.

I have several years of experience babysitting my niece, younger cousins, and family friends’ children. Through this experience, I have learned how to care for babies and young children of different ages and personalities in a safe, patient, and responsible way. My childcare experience includes preparing meals and snacks, bottle feeding, changing diapers, helping with bedtime and nap routines, supervising playtime, reading stories, helping with homework, comforting children when upset, and keeping children entertained with activities. I also understand the importance of maintaining a clean and organized environment for children.
In addition to childcare, I also have experience with pet sitting and house sitting for family members and family friends. I am comfortable caring for pets by feeding them, giving them water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. My house sitting experience includes keeping the home clean and organized, bringing in mail or packages, watering plants, following household routines, and making sure everything is secure and well taken care of.
