Babysitting available on flexible hours
| I come from Quebec, so I speak French, English and a bit of Spanish. Me and my children moved to Nanaimo 8 years ago for me to attend university here. I also homeschooled my children for about three years. I have experience as a babysitter and a training in special need care. My children are back to school, and I have availability to babysit in the week and on weekends. My schedule is flexible, and I can accommodate last minute needs. I am a very caring and loving person as well as creative and active. I will bring your child in nature, on bus rides, on different activities, etc. I love being with children and I do take my babysitting jobs at heart. I choose to work with children because I love being with them and it also gives me the flexibility I want to either be at home or out and about and work on my creative projects on my free time such as writing. With your child (children), we will be in nature and doing activities outside the house for most of the day. We will have fun, I promise!

My educational background is in healthcare from being a Nurses Aide, Prenatal Instructor, Breastfeeding Counselor and Doula. I also provided home learning for 10 years to my own children.

Upon finding employment I can provide an up to date CPR/ First Aide certification and a background check. My rate is approx $25 per hour, and I am more than happy to discuss any specific needs. Please feel free to message me. I would love to see if I would be a good fit for your family. Melissa :)

Hi My name is Jamie and I have a passion for helping children learn and grow
| I have many years experience in caring for children. I started babysitting when I was 15 years old and the age range that I have experience caring for is 6 months old - 12 years old. I have done overnight babysitting in the child's home many times. Some of the children that I have cared for have had a diagnosed disability such as: Asperger's Syndrome, diabetes and speech difficulties.

I also hold a certificate in school and community support worker from Vancouver Island University which has provided me with the skills to care for children with varying disabilities. I currently have a once a week commitment babysitting a 5 year old and 3 month old.

Including, national lifeguard, water safety instructor, standard first aid and CPR C. Growing up on the lake I was always passionate about swimming, which lead me to my job with the City of Nanaimo as a lifeguard/swimming instructor. Throughout the years of babysitting my siblings while growing up and caring for children in my swimming lessons I found my passion for child care.

Compassionate and Experienced Childcare Provider Dedicated to Nurturing Growth and Development
| I have hands-on experience working with children of various age groups, from toddlers to school-aged kids. In my previous roles, I’ve been responsible for creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can learn and grow. My day-to-day tasks often included planning engaging activities, supporting emotional development, and ensuring physical well-being through healthy routines like meals and outdoor play. I’m particularly proud of my ability to tailor activities to suit different developmental stages, from teaching early literacy and numeracy to fostering teamwork and social skills through creative group activities. I’m also trained in basic first aid, ensuring I’m equipped to handle emergencies with care and professionalism. One of my key strengths is communication—both with children and their families. I always strive to keep parents informed about their child’s progress and work collaboratively to meet individual needs. I find childcare rewarding because it allows me to make a positive impact on children’s lives and support their growth into confident, happy individuals
