I have an experience of 4 years of babysitting! It all started when I was in highschool and I loved every second of it! I had babysat for 3 kids between the ages of 5 and 13. It made me realize how much I love the career and why I study Early Childhood Education to become a kindergarten teacher in the future! I also became CPR certified which is valid for 2 years! Overall babysitting has taught me the joys of little children’s lives and help me want to pursue my career even more!

As a dedicated and compassionate mother of a 1-year old, I've always been passionate about caring for children. Growing up as the oldest of five siblings, I naturally took on a caregiving role, developing strong organizational skills and a loving approach. During the babysitting I will need to have my baby tag along since she is breastfed and sadly doesn't like bottle feeding but I assure that I won't prioritize her over your children. Experience • Internship: Kindergarten Assistant (school program) • Sisterly care: Primary caregiver for four younger siblings Skills • Childcare and education • Organization and household management • Meal preparation • Cleaning and maintenance Availability Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 7:30 AM - 4:30 PM Unavailability Sunday (church commitments) Why I'm a great fit As a responsible and caring individual, I'm excited to bring my skills and experience to a childcare role. I'm confident in my ability to provide a nurturing environment, support learning, and assist with daily tasks. Let's work together to create a happy and healthy environment for the children!

Hello! My name is Italya and I absolutely love working with kids! I’ve been caring and teaching for children for two years, and it’s something I’m truly passionate about. I worked at a community center where I served as an art instructor for kids. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always my top priority. I’m also patient, responsible, and full of energy, which helps me connect with kids and keep them engaged in a positive way. Whether it’s helping with homework, doing crafts, or just having fun, I always aim to create a safe and happy space for the children I care for. I am currently enrolled in university and I have my own transportation. I’m happy to help with pick ups, drop offs, or running errands if needed. I’m also comfortable with light meal preps and basic household tasks. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. Every child has their own personality and energy, and I love finding creative ways to connect with them, whether through crafts, games, or storytelling. It’s rewarding to know that parents can trust me to care for their children and that I can make a positive impact on their day. What experience do you have? I have experience caring for children of different ages, from toddlers to elementary school kids, through both family and community programs. I’ve helped supervise group activities, assist with homework, and organize fun, structured play. I’ve also worked in educational and recreation settings like dance and gymnastics classes, where I learned how to manage groups, keep kids engaged, and maintain a safe, encouraging atmosphere. What skills and training do you have? I’m skilled in communication, patience, and organization, and I’m trained in child safety and first aid. My background in kinesiology and bilingual education has also given me a strong understanding of child development, movement, and positive behavior strategies. I’m creative, responsible, and able to adapt activities to meet each child’s needs and interests.

I enjoy being a sitter because I get to support families, create a safe, positive environment and be part of each child’s learning and growth. I believe kids thrive when they feel understood and encouraged, and I love being someone they can trust and feel comfortable with. I have 3 years of babysitting experience with children ranging from toddlers to teens. I’m comfortable with bottle feeding, meal prep, bedtime routines, homework help, and keeping children engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities. I also volunteer as a mentor for younger Girl Scouts, which has strengthened my patience, creativity, and leadership when working with kids. I am currently a nursing student, which has further developed my understanding of safety, child development, and health awareness. I am CPR certified, BLS certified, Stop the Bleed certified, and a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant. Safety is always my top priority, and I remain calm, responsible, and attentive in any situation. I’m dependable, organized, and great at communicating with both children and parents. I look forward to supporting your family and providing the high-quality care you can rely on.
