I am responsible and dependable student entering grade 12 with hands on experience caring for my younger toddler sister, cousins, and family friends’ children. I am patient, attentive, and enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids. In addition to childcare, I have lifelong experience caring for cats of all ages, including kittens, adult cats, and senior cats, often managing multiple cats at once. I have also owned and cared for dogs in the past. While I do not yet have a CPR or babysitting certification, I am eager to learn and follow parents’ instructions carefully, and provide reliable care for both children and animals.
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 completed an Early Childhood diploma with honours and an Early Childhood Leadership Degree at George Brown College. And I have been working in the Child Care and Early Years sector for over 17 years. I also have a passion for advocacy specifically for vulnerable, equity seeking-deserving, and marginalized people.
I am a responsible and experienced caregiver who brings consistency, patience, and a positive attitude to every family I work with. I have cared for children of all ages and feel comfortable supporting multiple children at once. I also have experience working with children with disabilities, which has helped me develop strong adaptability and an understanding of individual needs.
I enjoy engaging children in hands-on, age-appropriate activities that keep them active, creative, and entertained. I always make safety the priority while still encouraging children to explore, learn, and express themselves. I like both sports and the arts, and I enjoy bringing these interests into activities and teaching children about them when they show interest.

I have worked with four families, including two part-time positions and two full-time positions, with children aged 8 months to 12 years old. My responsibilities included preparing meals and snacks, supervising daily activities, planning games and activities suited to each child's age, helping with homework, and managing bedtime routines such as bath time, teeth brushing, and settling in for the night.
I have also picked children up from school, handled after-school care, and brought them to extracurricular activities when needed. I am very hands-on, responsible, and patient, and I always focus on creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for the children in my care.
