Creative and compassionate caregiver!

Hi parents! I'm Lila, a passionate preschool teacher with 4+ years of experience working with little ones. Children are naturally drawn to my vibrant personality because I focus on creating a fun, engaging environment where your kids feel safe, happy, and inspired.

I believe in the magic of play, creativity, and hands on activities: crafting, storytelling, outdoor adventures, educational games, etc. Your child won't be glued to a screen and instead will be exploring, learning, and having a blast! I understand how to balance fun with structure, and I tailor activities to suit each child's interests and developmental needs.

Trusted Care for Kids & Pets | Experienced, Compassionate, and Ready to Help!

Hi! I’m 27 years old and have spent my entire life surrounded by both animals and children—two things I truly love caring for. I’ve owned and cared for a wide variety of animals over the years, including hamsters, birds, cats, dogs, and even turtles. I also have experience with reptiles and farm animals, so I’m comfortable handling all kinds of personalities, routines, and care needs.

Being the oldest of six siblings, I naturally grew up helping care for children and taking on a nurturing, responsible role from a young age. That experience shaped who I am today—someone who is patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoys creating a safe, positive environment for others.

At my core, I just want to be a source of good in the world. I believe you never truly know what someone else may be going through or what kind of support they might need, and I take pride in being someone others can trust and rely on—whether that’s for their children, their pets, or their peace of mind.

I am a highly experienced and dependable caregiver with a strong background in both childcare and animal care.

In 2019, I became a registered Direct Support Professional (DSP), and I currently serve as a caretaker and house manager for individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities. This role has strengthened my skills in responsibility, patience, safety awareness, and compassionate care.

I am fully trained in CPR, general first aid, and infant first aid, and I also have asthma care training. I always carry a well-stocked first aid kit to ensure preparedness in any situation. I am a non-smoker and non-vaper, COVID vaccinated, and a permanent resident.

In addition, I have a valid driver’s license, reliable transportation, and emergency vehicle access, allowing me to respond quickly and handle transportation needs safely.

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.
