My name is Diana, and I am very interested in babysitting. I have over four years of experience working with children, especially babies and toddlers. As the eldest of four siblings, I have been caring for them since they were infants, and I also babysit every Thursday evening for the children of the choir while their parents practice. During high school, I completed my co-op and community hours at a daycare, later working there as a supply teacher during summer breaks. Currently, I am employed as an Early Childhood Assistant at Northlea Community Child Care, where I support toddlers in their daily routines, growth, and development. I am a fun-loving, outgoing individual who truly enjoys engaging with children and creating positive relationships. I am available on weekdays from 6:30 p.m. onward, with full availability throughout the day and night on weekends. I would be delighted to provide a safe, caring, and engaging environment for your children.

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.
