Babysitter

We’re currently looking for an Occasional Babysitter in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, J2W 0L1

A lovely family in the Saint-Luc region is seeking an occasional babysitter for their 1.5-year-old, with care beginning Friday, January 2, 2026. Backup support is needed intermittently when the child’s daycare is closed or when the child is home sick. The family can typically provide several weeks’ notice for daycare closures, though there may be occasional last-minute requests for next-day care.

Both parents will be home while care is being provided. Their child is curious, a bit timid, and enjoys outdoor play and reading. The home has a large, yet calm and friendly dog—no pet care is required. Those applying do not need to be available for all of the family's requests, but should understand that there are no guaranteed hours for this position.
