As an older sister I have been helping with kids since a very young age. I grew up with five younger siblings, and absolutely loved watching and taking care of them. We were all homeschooled, so I often I helped tutor and assist them with assignments for subjects such as reading, (one of my favorite hobbies!) math, science, art, and history. Another daily task that I loved to do is cooking, and meal prep for our large family. I always love trying out new recipes, and finding exciting things to try. I am a very crafty person, and love to find art projects, and different cool crafts, and DIYS to do with kids. (or even alone in my free time!) All of those years of building a love for kids turned to me wanting to babysit for others as well as my siblings grew. I especially missed it when they grew out of the baby stages, so I started looking for new opportunities, and ended up finding the perfect match with a teacher, who had just recently had her baby girl, and was searching for a better option than a public daycare to watch her, once  her pregnancy leave was over. The mother and I kept in contact and got a time scheduled to meet up, to get to know eachother better, and for a trial run to see how the baby, and I worked together. After the 6 weeks the mother had off ended, I took over the responsibility of lovingly caring for her 6-week-old baby 5 days a week 8-9 hours a day always making sure to carefully follow the parents instructions regarding sleep schedules, feeding times, and changes. I have also worked in an assisted living facility!

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.
