ECE-Assistant Certified, Experienced Child Care Provider available for as needed evening/weekend babysitting.
Hello Mums & Dads! Here is a brief introduction about me. I am a daycare and preschool casual sub with ECE Assistant certification. I am a long-time occasional private childcare provider for various clients and a mother to two teenagers. I have a certificate and experience with ASL (American Sign Language) & Deaf Studies. I am Emergency Child Care First Aid certified, I have my own transportation and am willing to travel within Burnaby, Vancouver, Coquitlam and Port Moody.
Availability: Evenings and weekends; *more flexible hours during summer months are possible
Newborn support: When you have a newborn it is a struggle to find time to have a shower, do laundry or dishes, exercise or take a much needed nap, even more so without an extended support network of family and friends. I can hold, soothe, change, feed or take the baby for a walk while you tend to whatever you need to, or I am happy to help with dishes, laundry, or pet care if the baby is sleeping.
New sibling support: Having a new addition to the family is a big adjustment for young children. Having special one-on-one time with your older child is challenging when also having to care for an infant. Depending on your need on a given day I can look after baby’s needs while you have time with your older child/children or I can spend time with them, playing, reading, or going to the park.
I love to read, sing songs, listen to music and play with children to support their social-emotional learning.
Babysitting: It is so important for new parents to have time for themselves and each other with date nights and for stay-at-home parents to have occasional evenings out with friends. I am available for as needed evening babysitting. When you go out for the evening I will play with, feed, bathe & put your baby or child/children to bed. Or I can stay with your children after you put them to bed for the night.

Rates: $20/hr for one child during their waking hours or for multiple children if babysitting at & beyond their bedtime.
$25/hr for up to 3 children while awake. Please message for any clarification.
