A little bit about me
Hi, my name is Olivia! Working with children has always been a passion of mine. I am currently working on my elementary education degree, and I have experience babysitting children of a wide age range. In addition, I have over a year's experience teaching swim and gymnastics lessons to children ages 1-14 and extensive volunteer experience in schools. I am responsible, hard-working, honest, and of course fun. I have no problem with pets and have a car available for use. I can cook and clean. I also have experience with food allergies and working with children who have some extra special needs. I'd love to meet you and your family and see if I'm a good fit. Thank you!

"Monique was our saving grace during a really busy challenging time for our family. She took initiative and made everything go smoothly in our home taking care of our son and daughter. She provided emotional and intellectual support for our children through fun activities and games. She truly became part of our family. She saw safety improvements that could be made around our home and made them. She loved our children as her own and we are so grateful for her! Monique communicated scheduling needs well in advance and helped us when we needed help outside of usual hours. I have full confidence in recommending Monique for any childcare needs!"

A little bit about me
Hello, My names Catherine but I go by Robyn. I spent much of my High School years watching my two brothers after school. During the pandemic I ended up helping them a lot with homework. I am confident in tutoring up through Algebra 2, Biology, Grade 12 history, and Grade 11 English. I grew up cooking for a family of 5-7 of various ages appealing to their tastes and dietary needs. More recently I have helped my friends several times watch over their middle school aged kids. I am passionate about inspiring children to learn and explore.

"Bee has been our family babysitter since 2023. They have been a total joy to work with, very professional and adored by our kids. Bee has watched our kids on at least 10 occasions, for a few hours up to 8 hrs, and a few times with additional kids. They are extremely capable and responsible, and great at communicating. I cannot recommend Bee enough!"

"Bee watches my kids periodically. They absolutely adore Bee. Bee is seriously the best with kids. All ages. They can get my 4yr old who is a handful to follow direction perfectly. They are wonderful with hands on play time. Very good with carseat safety as well which id a big thing for me. If they cant watch my kids then I ain’t going because they're the only person I really trust to babysit."
