Hey, my Name is Kim, I’m 23 years old and I’m originally from Germany :) I’m a Social worker with 6 years of experience in taking care of children, teenagers and older adults. Growing up in a large family with many kids, I’ve always been surrounded by little ones. In addition to my professional experience, I’ve provided extensive childcare for my two nieces, including managing day-to-day activities, taking them to and from kindergarten, feeding, changing diapers, and putting them to bed. In 2018 I worked as a Aupair in California for 6 months. This experience helped me to develop my skills in child care and gave me a deeper understanding of children’s needs in a home setting. During this time in a new environment my English also improved greatly. I am warm-hearted, energetic and enjoy spending my time reading, singing and cooking. I would love to hear from you and give you a more personal insight about me!

My skills and interests:

  • Music
  • Singing
  • Dance
  • Reading/storytelling
  • Sports
  • Fitness
  • Swimming
  • Nature
  • Gardening

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Valentine's Day Babysitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a Valentine's Day babysitter so you can enjoy a romantic evening while knowing your kids are in safe hands.

1. Book early

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.

See our parents' guide to Valentine's Day babysitting for more detailed information.
