Reliable Babysitter with Teaching Experience

Hi, my name is Emily! I’m an Early Childhood Education major at UTC, and I’ve always loved working with kids. I grew up helping with my two younger brothers and started volunteering in my church’s childcare program at 13. From there, I continued gaining experience as a teacher’s assistant in elementary and middle school classrooms through my Teaching as a Profession program in high school.

Families describe me as patient, fun, and dependable. I enjoy creating a safe and positive environment for kids, whether that’s helping with homework, playing games, or just being a kind and responsible role model. I look forward to meeting your family and caring for your little ones!

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Wedding Babysitter

Follow these handy tips for hiring a wedding babysitter to make sure the little guests are happy and the adults can celebrate stress-free.

1. Hire early

Secure babysitters well in advance, as weddings often fall on busy weekends.

2. Check experience

Choose sitters with proven childcare experience, ideally with multiple children and event settings.

3. Run background checks

Verify references, qualifications, and certifications (like CPR and first aid). See our guides for more information:

4. Ask about ratios

Make sure there are enough sitters for the number and ages of children attending. You may need to hire multiple wedding babysitters.

5. Clarify duties

Define whether babysitters are supervising during the ceremony, reception, or in a separate childcare room.

6. Provide entertainment

Ensure babysitters bring or can organize age-appropriate games, crafts, and activities.

7. Discuss meals

Plan ahead for kid-friendly food and snacks that babysitters can easily serve.

8. Set boundaries

Decide on locations where kids will stay (kids’ corner, separate room, outdoor space) and communicate rules.

9. Plan for bedtime

If the reception runs late, arrange a quiet area or sleeping setup for younger children.

10. Keep parents informed

Make sure babysitters have contact numbers and a system for reaching parents quickly if needed.
