Babysitting and light housekeeping Job application.
| My name is Toluwalope. I am a student here in Canada attending University. I am from Nigeria and migrated to Canada. I am a very loving, kind, patient and caring person. I have a lot of experience with children and love being around children, I have volunteered in the children’s department at church and volunteered at black stone foundation for a Child’s program called seeds of wisdom, where we created both fun and creative activities for the children that improved their imagination and thinking capabilities as well as their ability to have fun, enjoy themselves and relate with other children. I also helped in light meal prep, cleaning up tables and clearing floors. I have 4 years of experience babysitting and I have been babysitting for families here on Care.com. I usually babysit on occasions but I am looking for a more regular babysitting at evenings and night time, I am skilled in reading stories to children and putting them to bed, I enjoy reading so I read to pass time while frequently checking on children as they sleep. I have good references and reviews. Thank you as you kindly consider my Job application.
Toluwalope is a very hardworking and friendly Babysitter, she enjoys playing with my little one. She does a little house cleaning too. She puts passion and effort into her duties which leaves me relaxed when I leave home for work and other activities. She babysits overnight occasionally and we’ve been working together for over three months now. She’s quick to learn new things, follows instructions properly and is loving, nice and caring. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a good, caring and reliable babysitter."

Qualified Educator and babysitter with 4 years experience
| I’m responsible, vigilant, empathetic, affectionate and creative. I have studied Early Childhood Education and have 4 years experience working in a daycare and have been a long term babysitter/ nanny for 2-3 different families and occasional babysitter for a few families. I live in H4A. I hope to hear from you and hopefully also be a small part of your child’s/childrens’ journey growing up.
I was hesitating to write this review because I don't want to share Jacqueline with others:) She has been amazing with my 2 girls under 3 yr old. She is very professional, educated, loving and genuine. She is full of life, energetic and outgoing. My 2 girls can relate to her personality thus they get along. I trust her fully when she is along with my kids. They look forward to seeing her and ask me everyday if she is coming. She is a gem! Please treat her well."

Loving and Firm babysitter
| Hello! My name is Demi. I moved to Mississauga from Singapore in 2014. I spent time teaching preschoolers at a reputable tuition centre in Singapore and I loved every minute of my job. I wish I didn't have to leave it, but I had to relocate with my husband who got into school/work here in Canada. I am a certified babysitter with a clean background. To me, interacting with children has got to be one of life's greatest joys. When I was teaching, I enjoyed challenging their simple but inquisitive minds. I learnt a lot while on the job - dealing with tantrum-throwing children; how to allow them to make their own decisions while under some restrictions set by me; reminding them to say their "please's" and "thank you's" no matter what; and how verbal encouragement can help a child's motivation and learning capabilities by leaps and bounds. When I get to know your kids a little better, I can introduce some worksheets to them that will stimulate their minds while I'm with them. These worksheets are used to train their motor skills as well as to expand their general knowledge. Please feel free to ask me anything. I will be happy to answer!
From what I have seen and experienced Demi is caring, honest, empathetic, dedicated and a responsible person. Demi is pleasant to be around because she has a positive attitude that can make work fun and interesting. I have found that Demi is reliable, hardworking and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to entrust her to any job required. Sincerely, Anna"

Fun, Creative, and Experienced Babysitter Available Right Away (English-Speaking)
| Hi! My name is Abby and I am a English-speaking second year student at McGill University. I am from Toronto and have been babysitting children ages 1-6 in my neighborhood since I was 12 years old. For 3 summers, I have worked at an overnight camp where I have overseen the care, wellbeing, and programming for children ages 6-15, and this most recent summer I nannied a 12 month old for 6 months. I am a caring and outgoing individual who loves crafts, sports, board games and any chance I get to be outdoors!
Five stars doesn't begin to cover what Abby meant to our family. Abby is the best nanny we ever had and the hardest thing to leave when we moved (we'd never have let her go otherwise). She wasn't only a wonderful caretaker for our baby, she was his best friend. He was always happy and calm with her, even if he was having a tough day. I could trust her completely; I never had to worry a moment when the baby was with her. She truly loved him, and she became part of our family. Abby is reliable, thoughtful, energetic, silly, kind, committed, creative, and loving. She both respected our parenting style and brought her own big and lovely personality. She cared for our son from 12 to 17 months, up to 25 hours a week. She's a natural with kids, highly sensitive, warm, and responsible. She was also always willing to help with dishes, laundry, and just making our lives easier however she could. You and your kids will be so, so lucky to have her in your lives if you get the chance."

Fun Responsible loving nanny/babysitter
| If your children enjoy: Singing fun summer camp songs, reading awesome adventure books, telling funny bedtime stories, playing pretend and hide and go seek. Then I am the right babysitter for your family. I am from Honolulu HI, currently living in Vancouver, BC. I am a third-year student at UBC studying botany. I love doing anything and everything outdoors. I am very responsible and have cared for my brother for multiple days at a time since he was 2 years old. I have also been a consistent babysitter for 1-5-year-old children for about 7 years now. I am a good cook and I don’t mind cleaning and pet care as well. I really love being around children and they love me too! **Also, I am fully vaccinated!!
I'm so glad I found Natalia through Care.com! She's been an absolute savior thus far for me as she's been able to handle my kids overnight allowing my husband and I to take a much needed break. We always feel safe and secure when leaving her to watch our kids as she is always very cordial, easy to communicate with and understanding of our needs and concerns. She takes the position with a certain level of responsibility and respect, which I am so happy and relieved about as it allows us ease our worries and relax while we are away. I would more than recommend Natalia to anyone in need of a sitter. Go ahead and give her a shout, You will not regret it!"
