How it works
It is like speed dating only we provide you with something much better…babysitters!
Lets just take a breath (we know you are excited) and go over a few things. Lullaby League is not a nanny or placement service. We are a babysitting meeting service allowing parents to meet and interview sitter candidates (typically university students) for babysitting jobs in Metro Vancouver and Calgary.
At each mixer moms (and dads) will have 3 to 4 minute “mini interviews” with each of the sitter candidates. Parents and sitters can chat, ask questions and get a feel for each other…it is one on one time and no better way to get to know someone. After the mixer ends parents call as many of the sitters they liked directly (we hope you love them all) and work out the rest between you.
The night of the mixer, you will also receive your own copy of The Lullaby List. This valuable book is made up of each of the evenings babysitters resumes that they have submitted. This will help you see their experience with kids, allow you to call references and give you all of their contact information. The Lullaby List is invaluable as it gives you a listing of the babysitters that you can then contact directly…and since you have just met them, you know who you are calling!
Speed dating for parents and babysitters…What is this all about?

Showtime-The night of event and not sure what to do? It is simple really…
- Be on time and get ready to chat. Once you have checked in and received your name tag you will be given The Lullaby List. The mixer will then get started and you will get to meet some amazing sitters and have “mini interviews” with each and every one of them. Remember there are no right or wrong answers, no good or bad people, just be yourself and have fun. Also, as much as we love kids, we ask that you please leave them at home so we can all really concentrate and get to know each other.
- Special kudo’s from some great companies. You will also be receiving some great coupons and deals from some of our top alliances. A little swag never hurt anyone!
That was a blast! Now what do I do?
- Start calling some of those wonderful babysitters you have just met. Invite them over to meet the kids, meet them for a follow up interview over coffee, call their references…it is all up to you and how you want to take the next steps.
- Don’t forget to tell your friends, fellow parents and pretty much anyone who will listen all about your amazing experience with Lullaby League. All of the sitter candidates you meet at a Lullaby League mixer have been “invited” to attend. Lullaby League receives their completed babysitter resumes and a spot check and phone interview may be conducted by a Lullaby League staff member. If everything glows (and we hope it does), they are then invited to attend There is a $50 registration fee (+applicable taxes) to attend a Lullaby League event.
