Hello! My name is Lindsay and I am excited to work alongside families caring for their children. I have a masters in Clinical Psychology and have been trained in Childhood development. This training has been invaluable to understanding and anticipating the needs of children in my care. I have been babysitting and working as a Nanny on and off for the last 6 years and find it truly rewarding! I am the kind of sitter that aims to make each day full of fun and educational moments. Little minds can be like sponges that soak up all the world has to offer them. Wouldn't it be amazing to see the world through the eyes of a toddler? I love to create new games, offer craft projects and go on fun outings and I aim to ensure all children in my care are happy, healthy, and having fun. I also try Read more to work collaboratively with families to ensure their children are cared for in just the manner they would prefer. I am currently expecting my own child in August 2017! I am looking for a family that needs assistance caring for their child or children now, but would also be willing to allow me to bring my own little one along when that time comes. I am a pet owner, and am happy to care for cats or dogs in the home as well. Additionally, light cleaning and cooking are not a problem either! Looking forward to getting to know you and your family!!

Lindsay responded to my last-minute request for a sitter to watch the kids while I worked from home. She traveled over an hour on public transit to get to our place, and arrived eager to meet the kids and with a bag full of fun activities. Within minutes, Lindsay had completely charmed my 1.5 and 3.5 year olds in the way that people who truly love children can. She maintained their routines and cared for them playfully and enthusiastically. When I came downstairs for a snack, she and my daughter were painting, practicing letters, laughing and having a wonderful time. When my son woke up from his nap, he asked for me but was squealing with delight just a second later. When it was time to leave, we were riding the same bus and she sat behind us and interacted with them until we got off the bus. They have been asking for Lindsay ever since. Bottom line – I cannot recommend Lindsay highly enough!
