Caring, Patient, Involved Babysitter/Petsitter Eager to Help Out

Hello! I'm Charlotte! I will always treat your children with patience, kindness, and a smile. With me, you can have someone you can count on to work as hard as I possibly can to make sure your children are happy and safe.

I have previous experience assisting with childcare at a summer camp. I planned out activities, helped other counsellors, and bonded with groups of children. I assisted with general chores and food. I also babysat my younger sibling and helped him with reading. My experience with animals and with retail have also honed my cleaning and organizing skills. My extensive animal care experience and experience of having both a dog and a cat are great if you have pets too! I am currently planning to retake a course to refresh my memory of First Aid / AED.

When it comes to helping with your kid(s), I prioritize your wishes first. I will consult you on what expectations you have of me to ensure a perfectly tailored experience that makes everyone happy. Each child is unique and I will work hard and listen to your wisdom on how I can best guide and support them as they flourish as people (and hopefully have fun in the process)! While I generally like to clearly understand the wishes of parents, I can also think quickly and exercise common sense when needed. I prefer to do live-out but have some flexibility. I can speak some rudimentary French, and am hoping to improve.

Currently, I am a 4th year University of Guelph BSc. student hoping to improve my childcare skills and challenge myself while also saving and investing for my future. This means I will have a University student schedule, but due to hard work in previous years I have a smaller course load now that I near graduation. This means I have more time and energy to give. You can expect the diligence and flexibility of someone able to and hoping to learn and grow. I am happy to answer any questions you have and work with you! I look forward to getting to know your family!

Hi beautiful humans!

I am a current student at the University of Waterloo, studying social development studies. In my future, I am hoping to work with children in early learning and teaching, or in mental health services for children and adolescents.

Currently I work on call at a childcare centre in the toddler and preschool classrooms. I value my time in the classroom and the time spend with each and every child I get the opportunity to work with.

I love making connections with the children I work with as well as their families. I also am always looking for engaging activities to share with the kiddos I work with. I believe that it is important to engage in activity’s that will foster healthy development and encourage healthy relationships when working with youth.

In my own time, I enjoy anything to do with arts— drawing, crafts, colouring, singing. I love to engage in self care related activities as well; such as yoga and skincare. I also love spending time with my cat! If I’m not working, engaging in self care, or cuddling with my cat, you can’t find me indulging more into my education and learning even more!

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.
