Samantha $30 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Samantha and I am currently a 25 year old nursing student! I'm a caring and dependable sitter who truly loves spending time with kids! With babysitting experience going back to my teen years (plus lots of auntie duties with my nieces and nephews!), I bring tons of enthusiasm, patience, and creativity to every sit and have genuine love for what I do. I'm big on keeping kids engaged with fun activities or adventures, and since I'm a huge Disney fan, I always have something to connect with the little ones over! 🏰 I grew up with pets my whole life, so your furry family members are in great hands too! Whether it's dogs, cats, or both! Beyond childcare, I'm also available for: • 🏠 House sitting • 🐾 Pet sitting • 🧹 Household chores • 🛒 Errands And for your peace of mind, I am BLS/CPR certified, so you can feel confident your family is safe and cared for while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to work with your family!

Tesla 1 review
$22 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Tess and I'm currently studying for my BSc at the University of British Columbia. I'm originally from San Francisco and I will be here for the summer. I have babysat for a number of families throughout the city ranging from ages 3-7 and siblings too! I also have experience with pets and basic house cleaning. Professionally I have worked as a camp counselor and workshop facilitator for older kids 8-12 so I love working with all ages. I'm looking more for occasional jobs but I'm also very flexible so I can work with last-minute scheduling and I don't mind when the night runs later than expected! I look forward to getting to know your family!

“Tesla is a fantastic, reliable sitter whom we've hired several times over the past couple years, and we hope to continue working with her. She has a calm, gentle demeanor, and has an authentic connection with my 4-year-old, who always looks forward to their time together. Tesla has a unique ability to connect with children in a way that feels very genuine. She is mature, smart, and has excellent communication. Highly recommended for any family looking for a trustworthy and engaging caregiver!”

Celia $35 per hour for 1 child

Hello families, My name is Celia I am 22 years old and I have a valid driver’s license. I am a caring, responsible, and energetic person with experience looking after children from 2 to 15 years old. Over the years, I have helped children with their daily routines, school drop-offs and pick-ups, homework, meal preparation, bedtime routines, and a variety of fun and educational activities. Thanks to my experience with different age groups, I am able to adapt to each child’s personality, needs, and interests. I enjoy organizing creative activities, playing games, spending time outdoors, reading stories, and encouraging children to learn and grow in a positive environment. I believe that patience, kindness, and good communication are essential when caring for children. Families describe me as reliable, mature, organized, and trustworthy. My goal is always to create a safe, happy, and supportive environment where children feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I look forward to becoming a positive part of a family’s daily life and building meaningful connections with both parents and children.
