Well experienced Child Care Taker

My name is Tazanovi, I currently work in Lone Pine CA as a CNA. I am looking for a new job to be able to work with children. I have a lot of passion and love for all kids. I grew up having no choice but to be there and care for my brother and sisters, and as difficult as it was raising kids as a kid myself, I absolutely loved it. I have learned the importance of being the best example to those around me especially children, they are our future and are in need of hard working, empathetic, understanding, and communicative examples and care givers in their lives. Although I have no educational experience. I have lived a life of hands on experience with kids and infants. Please reach out and let me know if you are in need and are willing to allow me to be your children’s babysitter/ caregiver.

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.
