Find a babysitter in Blainville with Margot
Finding a babysitter in Blainville is often the headache of 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, offers you exactly that flexibility for your occasional needs, while ensuring your children’s safety in their own environment.
Margot supports Quebec families in their search for trustworthy child care services. Founded by an experienced entrepreneur in the education and childhood services sector, our platform now includes 42 verified babysitters active in Blainville and surrounding areas, including Fontainebleau, Boisbriand, Rosemère and Sainte-Thérèse. To date, 94% of our clients are fully satisfied and 75% of families find their babysitter in less than 48 hours.
You are looking for more than just a baby-sitter: you want someone responsible and caring, able to manage the evening routine, comfort 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 in just a few days. Each profile has been rigorously validated: identity verification, criminal record 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 Blainville with Margot?
Whether you need a babysitter once a month or every week, our process is designed to make your life easier:
Describe your situation in a few clicks: how many children, their ages, your availabilities (evenings, weekends, emergencies), your Blainville area, and the languages spoken at home. A well-filled profile attracts the right candidates.
Only verified babysitters can see your ad. Indicate what you are looking for: occasional babysitting, regular evenings, full weekends or occasional backup.
With our messaging tool, chat with candidates you are interested in. Organize a meeting (online or at your home) to see how it clicks with your children and ensure it’s the right person.

Why choose Margot to find a babysitter in Blainville?
A complete verification process
Leaving your children with someone whose first name and profile photo are all you know? Crossing your fingers and hoping everything goes well? You deserve better than that.
All babysitters registered on Margot go through:
- Criminal record check
- Identity validation with official Canadian documents
- Confirmation of the right to work in Canada
- Appropriate training depending on the services offered (first aid, CPR, child care)
No profile appears on the platform without completing these checks during registration.
Candidates that truly match your needs
Your ad does the work for you: it naturally attracts babysitters available according to your criteria. At the same time, explore the profiles in your neighbourhood and filter by availability (evenings, weekends), experience with toddlers or older children, languages spoken, ability to manage multiple children.
This dual approach (posting and active search) significantly increases your chances of quickly finding a babysitter in Blainville. 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 Blainville 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 general international platforms, Margot specializes exclusively in family support in Quebec. We understand the specific needs of Blainville families, the challenges of work-life balance, and the realities of at-home babysitting in our province.
A stable network despite natural turnover
Your favourite babysitter goes back to school in September. Another moves to Montreal. Another just had her baby. And you, you start the search from scratch. Again.
With your Margot subscription, you have continuous access to a database of verified and updated babysitters. Your usual babysitter is no longer available? Check out the new profiles, contact someone who fits your criteria, and you don’t start from zero: they have all already passed the same rigorous checks.
This is particularly valuable if you have sporadic or variable needs: you are never caught off guard. Your network of trusted babysitters grows with you, and you always stay in control.

Find a babysitter in Blainville for your situation
You need a babysitter for your evenings
Birthday dinner, show as a couple, professional 5 à 7? You deserve these moments without guilt. A reliable babysitter is exactly what you need: she arrives, manages bath time, dinner and bedtime, and you come home with peace of mind knowing everything went well.
On Margot, you specify your needs in your ad (frequency, evening schedule, children’s ages) and you receive applications from babysitters who are precisely available on those evenings. No more begging your sister-in-law or feeling bad about bothering your parents.
Need last-minute help
Urgent work meeting, stomach flu knocking you down, flat tire on the way back from daycare… Calling six people in your 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 probably be able to help you out. That’s the luxury of having your network.
You want a regular babysitter every Friday night
Friday night is sacred: it’s your date night with your partner. But every Thursday, it’s the same rush: “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 specifically block fixed weekly time slots. Your children will end up waiting for her with excitement. As for you, you can finally plan your Friday nights without dealing with exhausting logistics.
You work shifts with changing schedules
Nurse with variable evening shifts, police officer on rotation, firefighter with unpredictable hours? Unlike those who always work the same evenings, your schedule changes week to week. You don’t need a babysitter EVERY Tuesday night—you need one AVAILABLE when your schedule happens to fall on a Tuesday.
That’s 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 based on your changing needs. One isn’t available? Contact another. That’s real flexibility.
You have several children of different ages
Managing three children aged 2, 5 and 9 on a Saturday afternoon? “Sorry, I only babysit ages 3 and up.” “I’m not comfortable with babies.” “Three is too many for me.” You know the drill.
You need someone who truly knows how to orchestrate everything: nap time for the little one, homework for the oldest, playtime with the middle child. Without losing patience. Without turning on the TV for four hours. On Margot, specify the ages clearly in your ad: this naturally filters candidates experienced in multi-child care who feel confident managing your little crew.
How Valérie and Martine found their babysitter in Blainville
“Finally, a platform where I can see background checks before contacting someone. I found Émilie in three days for our Friday nights. My daughters love her and I leave with peace of mind.”
Valérie / Loraine
“I am 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 one. It changes everything.”
Martine / Blainville
FAQ – Find a babysitter in Blainville
What is the average rate for a babysitter in Blainville?
$15 to $22/hour depending on experience, number of children and schedule
(Evenings and weekends generally cost more.)
An experienced babysitter with references charges $18 to $22/hour.
Rates may vary depending on responsibilities: meals, bath, bedtime, etc.
How to check a babysitter’s background?
On Margot, each babysitter must go through a criminal record check, identity validation with official Canadian documents, confirmation of their right to work in Canada, and all necessary training depending on the services offered. These checks are visible directly on their profile.
What is the difference between a babysitter and a nanny?
Babysitter: occasional supervision for evenings, weekends or occasional needs (a few hours). Nanny: regular care full-time/part-time, committed to 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 is 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 directly after the babysitting. If you hire a babysitter very regularly (several times per week), you may consider declaring her as an occasional employee. Consult Revenu Québec to determine your obligations based 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 Blainville?
Yes, our network includes several baby-sitters 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 Blainville?
$75 to $110 for a standard evening (6 p.m.–11 p.m., 5 hours) with two children, depending on experience and responsibilities (meal, bath, bedtime). After midnight, expect a higher rate or taxi fees for the ride home.
What happens if my usual babysitter is no longer available?
With your Margot subscription, you always have access to our network of verified babysitters. Your babysitter is no longer available? Contact another one without restarting the verification process. They have all already gone through the same rigorous checks. Your network evolves with your needs.
