Hi! I’m Ari, a 19-year-old college student currently attending East Carolina University, where I’m majoring in Psychology with a minor in English Studies. I grew up in a small town outside of Charlotte, and as the oldest of 3, I’ve spent years helping my parents care for my younger siblings — giving me hands-on experience with kids of all ages throughout adolescence. I’m also CPR certified for children, giving parents extra peace of mind that I can handle emergencies calmly and confidently. I’d describe myself as goofy, patient, and a total homebody, which helps me connect with kids, keep them comfortable, and create a fun, calm, and safe environment. I genuinely love meeting new people and building meaningful connections, whether that’s with parents or the little ones I care for. And if your family has pets — even better! I love animals and am totally comfortable working in homes with furry friends. Whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, sticking to routines, or simply being a positive, comforting presence, I always show up with kindness and reliability. My psychology background helps me understand children’s needs, emotions, and the little things that make each child unique. I truly can’t wait to be your babysitter and create a space where your child feels safe, supported, and free to be their wonderful self. 💕🐾

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.
