Your families next favorite sitter: caring, responsible, and fun!

I’m excited to apply for the opportunity to care for your child! Growing up in a large family and pursuing my education in psychology and human services has given me a deep appreciation for child care, and I’d love to bring my experience and skills to support your family.

I come from a family of six siblings—five of whom are younger than me—and my two youngest are currently 3 and 5 years old. From a young age, I was actively involved in their care, especially the little ones. I helped my parents with everything from diaper changes and bottle feeding to establishing sleep routines. With my parents working demanding jobs, I often served as an extra set of hands, which made me very comfortable with the responsibilities of caring for infants. These experiences have also given me a deep understanding of the patience and attention babies need, and I truly enjoy providing that nurturing care.

When I was 17, I stepped up even further when one of my brothers was hospitalized for two years. During that time, I became the primary caregiver for my younger siblings, ensuring they were well-fed, entertained, and kept on schedule. This experience taught me how to juggle multiple tasks, stay calm under pressure, and remain flexible—skills that are especially important when caring for infants!

In addition to my hands-on experience, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Human Services. While it may sound a bit academic, I promise it actually adds to my child care experience! My studies gave me a deeper understanding of child development, emotional well-being, and the importance of providing a safe, supportive environment—perfect for any child, especially those in the early stages of growth.

Along with my family background and education, I’ve been babysitting for other families since I was 13. I’ve cared for children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months old. Whether it’s feeding, diapering, or soothing a fussy baby, I’m fully comfortable with the demands of infant care. I also understand how vital it is to create a nurturing environment and support early developmental milestones with patience and care.

I’m CPR certified, and I have my own car, so I’m happy to commute to different towns to help out. I am also willing to become certified in other aspects as well!

I’d love to meet with you to discuss how my experience, education, and passion for child care can benefit your family. Thank you for considering my application—I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work with you!

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.
