AmbergrisCaye.com Home Forums Belize Life Employment Babysitter wanted

I've been asked by divers arriving on Wednesday & staying at RCR if I can find a female babysitter for their two active children, aged 4&7. Playing games with them, monitoring them in the pool etc - not just sitting inside a room for three hours. Just for when the parents are diving, which will mostly be mornings. Five days. Generous pay for the right girl. Given the urgency, please call me on 620-1080 (Peter). Thanks.

Call Melinda. I can't remember her phone number but I think Jesse from San Pedro Daily has the info.

She is a qualified nurse, loves kids, and is out going and fun loving.

Sent Peter the number early this morning, just didn't want to post it on the board for her privacy.

I thought this was her business? I had a business card from her, but misplaced it.

Melinda is awesome!

It turned out the family who wanted the babysitter were really cheap. They expected someone to be flexible with hours (ie. stay if the parents simply didn't get back) and to look after two quite boisterous children. Compensation to be US$2:50 per hour. They weren't swamped with applications. Next time I'll simply put them in touch with Melinda and let her sort them out.

I'll pay more than that. Can I get her info? We're in AC Mar 29 for a week and would like to dive together while a babysitter (with good references) plays with our 6 & 9 year olds. Thanks!

Just saw this. Do you still need help or are you sorted?

Last I heard (which was some months ago) she was off the island. Anyone know?

She is but she has someone to replace her.
