Hi! I have taken child development classes at school and am the oldest of 8 kids, so I have grown up hands-on with childcare. I have worked as a part-time nanny and have experience babysitting children with severe autism and Down syndrome.

Outside of caregiving, I am a varsity swimmer and water polo player, active in student leadership, and enrolled in AP and honors classes. I am a licensed driver and am comfortable transporting children of any age for errands and outings.

Additionally, I grew up around pets and have experience breeding European Boxers and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I am also highly capable when it comes to maintaining a clean and organized household. Having grown up in a large family, I am incredibly efficient at tidy-up routines and light housekeeping. I am also comfortable preparing healthy, delicious meals and snacks that cater to any dietary restrictions or preferences the kids might have. In addition to childcare, I am fully equipped to assist with homework and structured learning. Having been homeschooled myself, I understand how to guide students through independent study, keep them on task, and support homeschool curricula. My experience in AP and honors classes also gives me a strong academic foundation to tutor and help children succeed in their studies.

My skills and interests:

  • Singing
  • Drawing / painting
  • Arts / crafts
  • Games
  • Sports
  • Fitness
  • Swimming
  • Nature
  • Animals
  • Gardening
  • Cooking

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.
