I have been a TA for over 4 years working with kids attending elementary not in high school. I have experience with kids with special needs and have a good understanding of ASL. I’m currently in school so my availability is more limited but my work shows I am capable of being able to help out. My prices are low because I understand the need for looking after kids I have help raise my smaller cousins and siblings so I have a nurturing background. I’m also apart of my schools band regiment which is a big deal as it shows leadership skills. I am flexible with how much you pay as I’m working for experience and extra money but I would love to be part of your family as occasional help or even a weekend at home helper with just chores or cleaning.

Valentine’s Day is a high-demand night for babysitters, so secure someone well in advance.

2. Expect holiday rates

Babysitters often charge extra for special occasions, so budget for a premium.

3. Choose someone trusted

Go with a sitter your kids already know, or someone with strong references if it’s their first time.

4. Confirm late-night availability

Make sure the sitter is comfortable staying until your return, even if it’s late.

5. Share bedtime routines

Provide clear instructions for dinner, storytime, and bedtime so the evening runs smoothly.

6. Leave fun activities

Stock up on games, crafts, or a movie to keep the kids entertained while you’re out.

7. Plan a simple dinner for kids

Prepare or order something easy the babysitter can serve without stress.

8. Leave emergency contacts

Give them your number, backup contacts, and any medical details they might need.

9. Set house rules

Be clear on snacks, screen time, and bedtime flexibility.

10. Show appreciation

Since they’re working on a date night, consider a bonus, chocolates, or a thank-you note.
