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!
I’m here to make childcare as easy and stress-free as possible. I’m always willing to work with you to find care that fits your family’s needs and budget, even if it’s outside the pricing listed on the site. If you’re interested in my services, feel free to reach out — I’d love to chat!
I’m CPR certified, first aid trained, and have completed my Red Cross babysitting course. I always take the time to understand your family’s rules and routines, and I will respect your home and the way you like things done.
I’m happy to help with light housework, keeping things tidy and making sure your kids and pets feel safe, happy, and cared for.
A bit about me: I'm almost out of high school, and I do virtual so I'm available at all hours! I love dancing, crafting, and reading. Science is my favorite subject, and I enjoy helping kids with homework or creative activities. I’m a caring, courageous person and a strong problem solver who truly enjoys working with children.
