A little bit about me

Hi! I’m the kind of babysitter who can turn a regular day into an adventure—think blanket forts, silly games, and stories with voices. I love working with kids and plan to do it long-term, so babysitting is something I take seriously… even when we’re being goofy! I always make sure things are safe, calm, and cleaned up before you get back—yes, even the fort mess.

I’ll be living in Bridgewater for the summer after falling in love with Winnipeg last year, and I’m excited to bring my energy and fun-loving spirit to your family!

A little bit about me

Hello, My name is Eva, and I'm a child and pet lover. I am 21, I have been babysitting and nannying for several families starting at 13 years old. I have completed one year of a three year program in Early Childhood Education and my next term will start this winter, January 2027. I am looking to be a nanny, do regular babysitting, and/or overnight care for any age until I resume college in the winter, and possibly continue part time after that. I have some experience with children with special needs and developmental differences and it is something I plan on specializing in my future career. I am happy to: prepare meals/snacks, do light housework, take children on outings, prepare enriching activities according ECE standards and pedagogy, help younger children with homework, and assist in pet care.

I look forward to hearing from you and too meeting your child or children!
