You will rest assured your children will be in good, safe, loving hands.

I've accumulated years of experience by on the job training. I studied criminal justice at George Mason University. Then served my country for 28 year by working in law enforcement for the US government under The Department of Justice, Homeland Security, Departmen of State and others, which required holding a top secret clearance, with a stellar record. And am willing to acquire the necessary training you would require. I've had cpr and first aid training throughout my career. I'm an excellent swimmer. I am a sweet Christian lady, patient, loving, with a huge heart, especially for the most innocent, and vulnerable, the children, who should be guarded with your life at all times. Will never be out of my sight. I love helping people.

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.
