How are the baby-sitters selected
The baby-sitters go through several steps before being validated. The candidate's profile is first studied and then retained. He/she is then called by one of our experts to pre-evaluate his/her human aptitudes and possible diplomas. The pre-selected candidates are then invited to an interview which allows us to evaluate the future babysitters through role-playing. The validated profiles that meet your needs are then presented to you. They benefit from free training throughout the contract.

Depending on your needs, you can put your contract on hold, change the hours or stay on a similar schedule as the rest of the year. Remember to check the availability of your babysitter during this particular period. It is possible that students have staggered vacations.
My babysitter has to go away, what should I do ?
Your babysitter is required to inform you of his or her absence and contact his or her advisor as soon as possible, at least 48 hours in advance. The latter will organize a replacement for the date in question. In case of last minute absence, we will do our best to find a replacement for you.
