Kids in great hands!

I'm currently a high school student, and my main focus outside of academics is dance. I've been training in various styles for 4 years, which has built a strong foundation for my technique and understanding of movement. This passion led me to become a student teacher, where I now help guide younger dancers. This role has given me hands-on experience in leadership, lesson planning, and fostering a positive learning environment for kids, while also reinforcing my own dance knowledge.

I’m a Psychology major with years of hands-on childcare experience and a true love for working with kids. I’ve worked as a summer camp supervisor (2019–2023) and as an after-school counselor at the YMCA, gaining valuable skills in creating safe, fun, and structured environments. As the oldest of four siblings and with 11 cousins on my mom’s side, I’ve always been the go-to caregiver in my family, which has given me lifelong experience and a natural comfort around children of all ages. I’m hardworking, patient, and understanding—I know kids will be kids, and I approach every situation with care and flexibility. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and just be themselves.

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.
