| Thank you for stumbling across my profile! My name is Nicole and I am an outgoing, gentle and caring, babysitter in the Ottawa area. I am responsible and calm and I know that I can provide care in any environment. In addition, I am patient and I know the importance of this quality when working with kids. I am very fun and energetic. I enjoy being active and getting creative, and I think it’s really important to incorporate these things into childcare. It is important to me that your kids enjoy their time with me and that they have fun in a safe environment where my complete attention is on them. I am highly driven and very independent. I have a degree from the University of Ottawa and am currently looking for work. I can assist with homework any time and I am also happy to complete any housework after your kids are in bed or during down time if you request. I am dependable, non-judgemental and caring. I would be a great fit for anyone who needs me. I would be more than happy to take the stress off any parents looking for a casual sitter for some time out of the house, run errands, tend to work responsibilities or have a night to themselves, etc! I look forward to hearing from you soon.

| I have been babysitting for approximately 7 years in a casual when-needed setting. I love children, and my past and current jobs have all been working with children. For example, I currently coach competitive and pre-competitive swimming for children aged 6-12 and I previously taught swimming lessons to virtually every age (2-15). I have also supervised children with disabilities in an overnight camp setting for two summers, providing personal care when needed. I worked 8-4 Monday-Thursday with a family for the last one year, for two children under the age of 5, helping with online school, preparing meals, and fun activities.

| I have 9 years of babysitting experience and 5 years in formal childcare, having worked as a camp counsellor, educational assistant and before and after school program leader. I have one class left on my psychology degree which I will be completing spring 2024. I currently am enrolled at the Richard Robinson academy of fashion design as a full time design student. I have a passion for caring and a bright and fun attitude which helps me in providing not only the support and assistances kids need but the environment and energy that they want. I have experience working with kids with additional needs like adhd, autism, Down syndrome and more. I use public transportation and live in a non-smoking home.

| Hi! I started babysitting at 13 years old to 19 years old. I am currently 24. I have experience with all ages including newborns. I am certified in first-aid. I currently work full-time (Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm), and looking for extra income. I had always enjoyed babysitting but stopped when I went to college. Apart from my full time job I do in house dog/cat sitting occasionally. At the beginning of this year I moved out on my own and now is a perfect time to get back into babysitting.

| Hi My name is Ava and I'm currently am a second year business student at Algonquin college. I've been working with kids since I was 16 and love it! I started by watching my younger cousins when they were around the ages of 2 and then began babysitting for kids in our neighborhood. Over the last few years, I've worked primarily with infants and toddlers, but I love kids of all ages. If it's nice out, I like to take the kids outside, but if not, I whip out some fun arts and crafts :) In my free time, I love hiking, reading and cooking.

| My name is Paige and I am a step-mommy of one, pet-mommy to many and switch between working as an assistant teacher at a daycare in Northern Ontario, Substitute teaching (My last position was a Long term-occasional in SK, grade 7/8 and a junior special needs classroom) and taking classes at University of Ottawa. I am living in Gatineau with my partner and our two bunnies until December 10th . Please do not hesitate to contact me and /or ask for references. I have extensive experience, babysitting, tutoring, and caring for children of all ages.

| Hi! I’ve been babysitting for various families in my community and my social circle . I’m experienced with children of all ages, including newborns, and I love children. I also have several years of tutoring experience (I’ve tutored children from kindergarteners to high school seniors - contact me for my resume), so I’d be happy to help with homework or extra subject practice. I’m proud to say I’ve always received stellar feedback from both my students and the kids I’ve babysat - and I always enjoy getting to care for them, too! This is less formal experience, but I’m a big sister to a 14-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy. I’ve taken extensive responsibility for them both, especially my younger brother, whose early development I was heavily involved with - from learning to walk and talk to registering him for preschool. Having LOTS of firsthand experience with a newborn is the privilege of being 13 years older than him. Thanks for reading :)

| Hey! My name is Georgina, but I go by Gina. I am currently 19 years old and have been a caregiver since I was able to take the babysitting course at 12 years old. I can easily create schedules and activities, assist with homework when needed, prepare meals/snacks and regular house chores to maintain cleanliness, and, finally, watch the children overnight, maintaining their schedules. My goal with this position is to connect with the family, not just work for them, making everyone happy and comfortable!

| I have been working with children since I was 11 years old. I taught Sunday school at my church for 3 years and worked in a nursery for 2 years. I have been babysitting regularly since I was 13 years old. I have many families who's children I have cared for throughout their lives. I spent 6 months in france working as an au pair. I had to manage the daily routine of 2 children, aged 3 and 5, and was responsible for the housekeeping involving the children (tidy their bedrooms, laundry make their beds, cook and clean up from meals) I was also tasked with the older child's homework help, and their bath and bed time routines. Growing up I always had a nanny or a babysitter looking after me, so when I babysit for a family I draw from experiences from my childhood. I had a few nanny's who would just give me a colouring book or turn on the tv and not actively engage me. When I look after children I first and foremost find out the children's interests and then I try and plan fun activities for when I am with them. I am all for watching a movie or a tv show every once and a while... But not all the time. I like to get kids up and moving, doing things outdoors instead of sitting in front of the tv or computer.

| Hello, I am a student studying at the University of Ottawa, Majoring in Psychology and Women's studies. I am 21 years old and have just completed the first semester of my third year. I have worked with children for the last 4 and a half years, with and without disabilities, and have always been passionate about turning childcare into a fulltime career. I am certified in Standard First Aid and CPR C with the Red Cross. As i'm a full time student, I am looking for some part time work babysitting or nannying and I am happy to work with children that have disabilities. I would be happy to care for more than one child of any age and would love to speak further about my services. The past year and a half I have worked as an after school and weekend caregiver with a family of 5, for 3 children which I enjoyed thoroughly. Prior to this, I worked for four years as a camp counsellor for Girl Guides Canada. I have specialized in different age groups each year and was hired on as a supervisor in my most recent year working there. When working, I was in charge of every aspect of child care for groups of up to 12 children. I was also in charge of supervising up to 7 staff members and making sure that every child is being cared for effectively. The children stay overnight for a week at a time and so the responsibilities extend overnight. I am sure that I can explain in more depth my extensive experience in child care and would love to speak further about it.
