Life doesn’t always run on a perfectly planned schedule. Meetings pop up unexpectedly, childcare falls through, you have an emergency, or you suddenly need to be somewhere. Finding someone reliable to watch your child can quickly become stressful.
That’s why Miss Happy Helper offers last-minute childcare support for children age 3+ for families in specific communities in Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, and Burnaby (scroll down to view list).
Childcare services are personally provided by Trina (Owner of Miss Happy Helper), who is experienced in building a quick, comfortable rapport with children so they feel safe and at ease while parents are away. Contact Trina HERE.
Trina holds a valid Criminal Record Check with Vulnerable Sector screening, along with Intermediate First Aid with CPR-C/AED certification and FOODSAFE Level One. Parents can feel confident knowing their child is being cared for by someone who prioritizes safety, attentiveness, and a calm, positive environment.
