Find a babysitter in Lévis with Margot
Finding a babysitter in Lévis is often the headache for parents who simply want to go out as a couple, attend an event, or take a few hours to breathe. Cancelling your outings because your sister-in-law isn’t available, begging your parents once again, or worse: leaving your children with someone you barely know?
A babysitter, unlike a regular nanny, gives you that flexibility for your occasional needs, while ensuring your children’s safety in their own environment.
Margot supports Quebec families in their search for trusted child care services. Founded by an experienced entrepreneur in the education and child services sector, our platform now has 47 verified babysitters active in Lévis and its surroundings, including Vieux-Lévis, Saint-Romuald, Saint-Nicolas and Charny. To date, 94% of our clients are fully satisfied and 75% of families find their babysitter in less than 48 hours.
You’re looking for more than just a babysitter: you want someone responsible and caring, able to handle the evening routine, soothe a little boo-boo or sing at the top of their lungs while laughing out loud with your children.
With Margot, create your account, post your request, meet verified candidates and find your trusted babysitter within a few days. Every profile has been rigorously validated: identity verification, criminal background check, and mandatory training depending on the service. You join a community where your children’s safety comes first.
How to find a babysitter in Lévis with Margot?
Whether you need a babysitter once a month or every week, our process is designed to simplify your life:
Describe your situation in a few clicks: how many children, what ages, your availabilities (evenings, weekends, emergencies), your area of Lévis, the languages spoken at home. A well-completed profile attracts the right candidates.
Only verified babysitters see your post. Indicate what you’re looking for: occasional babysitting, regular evenings, full weekends or occasional backup.
With our secure messaging, chat with the candidates you’re interested in. Organize a meeting (online or at your home) to see how it clicks with your children and confirm that this is the right person.
Once you’ve made your choice, check out our tips and advice to establish a good agreement with your babysitter. Our team remains available for any questions.
Why choose Margot to find a babysitter in Lévis?
A complete verification process
Leaving your children with someone whose first name and profile picture are all you know? Crossing your fingers hoping everything will go well? You deserve better than that.
All babysitters registered on Margot go through:
- Criminal background check
- Identity validation with official Canadian documents
- Confirmation of the right to work in Canada
- Training adapted to the services offered (first aid, CPR, child care)
No profile appears on the platform without having completed these checks at registration.
Candidates that truly match your needs
Your post does the work for you: it naturally attracts babysitters available according to your criteria. At the same time, browse profiles in your area and filter by availability (evenings, weekends), experience with toddlers or older children, spoken languages, ability to handle multiple children.
By using both a post and active searching, your chances of finding a babysitter in Lévis quickly are significantly increased. Your children will feel comfortable from the very first meeting.
More than a platform: a real parental support system
Margot is much more than a simple list of profiles. We create a complete ecosystem for Lévis families: monthly webinars led by childhood specialists, exclusive content on our social media, and a team available to answer your questions.
You stay in control of your search, but you are never alone in the process.
100% Quebec expertise
Unlike large international generalist platforms, Margot specializes exclusively in family support in Quebec. We understand the specificities of Lévis families, the challenges of work-family balance, and the realities of home babysitting in our province.
A stable network despite natural turnover
Your favourite babysitter who returns to school in September. The one who moves to Québec City. The other who just had her baby. And you, starting the search all over again. Again.
With your Margot subscription, you have continuous access to a database of verified and updated babysitters. Your usual babysitter is no longer available? You browse new profiles, contact someone who matches your criteria, and you don’t start from zero: they have all already gone through the same rigorous checks.
This is especially valuable if you have sporadic or variable needs: you’re never caught off guard. Your network of trusted babysitters evolves with you, and you always stay in control.

Find a babysitter in Lévis for your situation
You need a babysitter for your evenings
Birthday dinner, concert as a couple, professional 5 to 7? You deserve these moments without guilt. A reliable babysitter is exactly what you need: she arrives, manages bath time, supper and bedtime, and you come home knowing everything went well.
On Margot, you specify your needs in your post (frequency, evening schedules, children’s ages) and you receive applications from babysitters who are actually available on those evenings. No more begging your sister-in-law or feeling bad about disturbing your parents.
You need last-minute help
Urgent meeting at work, stomach flu knocking you out, flat tire on your way back from daycare… Calling six contacts hoping someone picks up? No thanks.
With Margot, keep a list of 2–3 trusted babysitters you’ve already met. Contact them directly through messaging, and one of them will likely be able to help. That’s the luxury of having your own network.
You want a regular babysitter every Friday night
Friday night is sacred: it’s your date night with your spouse. But every Thursday, the same race: “Do you have someone for tomorrow?” “I tried your cousin, she’s not answering.” “Are we cancelling again?” Enough.
Look for a babysitter who accepts regular commitments. Many on Margot block dedicated time slots each week. Your children will soon look forward to seeing her, while you can finally relax and plan your Friday nights without the exhausting logistical scramble.
You work shifts with changing schedules
Nurse with variable evening shifts, officer on rotation, firefighter with unpredictable hours? Unlike people who always work the same nights, your schedule changes weekly. You don’t need a babysitter EVERY Tuesday night—you need a babysitter AVAILABLE when your schedule lands on a Tuesday.
This is where Margot becomes your best ally. Instead of depending on ONE single person (who will eventually move, change jobs, or no longer be available), you have access to a complete network of verified babysitters. Your subscription allows you to contact multiple profiles according to your changing needs. One isn’t available? Contact another. That’s real flexibility.
You have multiple children of different ages
Managing three children aged 2, 5 and 9 on a Saturday afternoon? “Sorry, I only babysit 3 and up.” “I’m not comfortable with babies.” “Three is too many for me.” You know the drill.
You need someone who can truly orchestrate everything: naps for the youngest, homework for the oldest, games for the middle one. Without losing patience. Without turning on the TV for four hours. On Margot, indicate the ages clearly in your post: it naturally filters candidates experienced in multi-child care who feel capable of managing your little crew.
How Brigitte and Sophie found their babysitter in Lévis
“Finally, a platform where I can see the background checks before contacting someone. I found Valérie in three days for our Friday evenings. My daughters adore her and I leave with peace of mind.”
Brigitte / Saint-Romuald
“I’m a nurse with rotating shifts. Having access to several verified babysitters on Margot is a relief. My usual babysitter is studying? No panic, I contact another. It changes everything.”

FAQ – Find a babysitter in Lévis
What is the average rate of a babysitter in Lévis?
$15 to $22/h depending on experience, number of children and schedule
(Evenings and weekends generally cost more.)
An experienced babysitter with references charges $18 to $22/h.
Rates may vary depending on responsibilities: supper, bath, bedtime, etc.
How to check a babysitter’s background?
At Margot, every babysitter must go through a mandatory criminal background check, identity validation with official Canadian documents, confirmation of their right to work in Canada, and all required training depending on the services offered. These checks are visible directly on their profile.
How do I check a babysitter’s background?
Babysitter: occasional supervision for evenings, weekends or occasional needs (a few hours). Nanny: regular full-time/part-time care, engages in the long-term educational and emotional development (daily ally).
Do I need to provide a contract to my babysitter?
For occasional care, a formal contract is not always necessary, but it’s recommended to have a clear written agreement on rates, responsibilities, schedules and specific instructions. For regular care (e.g., every Friday night), Margot provides contract templates adapted to clarify expectations for both parties.
How do I pay my babysitter in Québec?
For occasional care, payment is generally made in cash or by Interac transfer immediately after the babysitting. If you hire a babysitter very regularly (several times a week), you may consider declaring her as an occasional employee. Consult Revenu Québec to know your obligations depending on your situation.
Babysitter or daycare: which option for my evenings?
Daycares are not open in the evenings or on weekends. A babysitter is therefore the only viable option for your couple outings, social events or professional obligations outside regular hours. The advantage: your children stay in their familiar environment and follow their normal evening routine.
Are there bilingual babysitters in Lévis?
Yes, our network has several babysitters who speak fluent French and English and can interact naturally with your children in both languages. Others also speak Spanish or other languages. Use the search filters to target your language preferences.
How much does an evening with a babysitter cost in Lévis?
$75 to $110 for a standard evening (6 p.m.–11 p.m., 5 hours) with two children, depending on experience and responsibilities (supper, bath, bedtime). After midnight, expect an increased rate or taxi fees for the return.
What happens if my usual babysitter is no longer available?
With your Margot subscription, you have access at all times to our network of verified babysitters. Your babysitter is no longer available? Contact another one without restarting the checks. They have all already gone through the same rigorous process. Your network evolves with your needs.
