Hello! I’ve worked in multiple licensed childcare facilities in the state of Ohio and have completed multiple courses through OCCRA (Ohio Child Care Resource and Referral Association) such as communicable diseases, child abuse orientation, dealing with difficult behaviors, and plenty plenty more. I can provide records of all courses directly through OCCRA’s website as they are all still valid. I start in another childcare center down here in South Carolina on July 7th and I would love to take up some more personal care jobs in the meantime before my start date, and even afterwards on weekends. I have direct hands-on experience with children who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and would be more than comfortable with a child who might need a little extra care! For my upcoming job, I have also recently completed a background check that I have access to the results of, it is completely clear, and I can provide you with that, along with a physical results paper where I was completely cleared for on-site care of children!

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.


Wedding Babysitter Interview Questions

Ask the following questions when interviewing wedding babysitter candidates to narrow down your list.

Childcare Experience

  • Have you babysat at weddings or large events before?
  • What ages of children do you have the most experience with?
  • How many children are you comfortable caring for at once?
  • Have you ever handled group care (crafts, games, or activities for multiple kids)?

Responsibilities & Activities

  • What kinds of activities would you plan to keep kids entertained during a wedding?
  • Are you comfortable supervising children in both indoor and outdoor spaces?
  • Can you manage transitions (like moving kids from the ceremony area to a kids’ room)?
  • How would you handle children who don’t want to be separated from their parents?

Safety & Health
