Its always about them K.I.D.Z

Hey my name is Arianna, but you can call me Ary for short if you’d like! My end goal in this job is to help kids become who they will end up being by helping them learn and grow. Read then stories, have a mini dance party listening to there music! Or what about a movie night with snacks or going on a bike ride? I’ll tidy up the place, have then shower before the parents get home if its not to early so they don't have to deal with bath time, make food for them at around the same time everyday so there days stay consistent and sort of on a schedule. The trick of every thing patience and dedication is key Making sure that the kids understand what you are saying to them like if you said no you cant play with that explanation to them why it is a good idea to leave whatever it os alone and why they shouldn’t do it. Kids always crack me up because they are so silly even though they dont even know what they mean half the time but they make me super happy and put a smile on my face.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Vacation Babysitter

Follow these handy tips when hiring a vacation babysitter so everyone can get the most out of your family holiday.

1. Start your search early

Traveling babysitters are in high demand, so begin looking several months before your trip.

2. Choose someone with travel experience

Ask if they’ve traveled with families before and are comfortable with airports, hotels, and long days.

3. Check passports and paperwork

Ensure the babysitter has a valid passport, visas (if needed), and is comfortable with any travel requirements.

4. Discuss schedules and expectations

Be clear about when you’ll need childcare versus family time, so boundaries are understood.

5. Cover all expenses upfront

Agree on who pays for flights, accommodations, meals, and any extras before the trip.

6. Set pay rates clearly

Holiday babysitting often involves long hours; discuss a fair daily or weekly rate plus overtime if needed.

7. Review responsibilities

Clarify whether the sitter will supervise only in the hotel/villa or accompany your children on excursions.

8. Do a trial run at home

Have the sitter spend time with your kids before the trip to build trust and routine familiarity.

9. Check adaptability

Make sure they’re flexible with changes, new environments, and possible travel hiccups.

10. Trust and comfort are key

Since you’ll be spending extended time together, choose someone you not only trust with your children but also feel comfortable traveling with.

See our parents' guide to vacation babysitting for more detailed information.
