Find a babysitter in Drummondville with Margot
Finding a babysitter in Drummondville 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, offers you exactly that flexibility for 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 childcare sector, our platform now has 28 verified babysitters active in Drummondville and its surroundings, including downtown, Saint-Nicéphore, Saint-Charles-de-Drummond and Saint-Cyrille-de-Wendover. To this day, 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 baby-sitter: you want someone responsible and caring, capable of handling the evening routine, comforting a small boo-boo or singing at the top of their lungs while laughing with your children.
With Margot, create your account, post your request, meet verified candidates and find your trusted babysitter within a few days. Each profile has been rigorously validated: identity check, 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 Drummondville with Margot?
Whether you need a babysitter once a month or every week, our process is designed to simplify your life:

With our secure messaging, chat with the candidates who interest you. Organize a meeting (online or at your home) to see how things click with your children and confirm that this is the right person.

Why choose Margot to find a babysitter in Drummondville?
A complete verification process
Leaving your children with someone whose first name and profile picture are all you know? Crossing your fingers hoping everything goes well? You deserve better than that.
All babysitters registered on Margot go through:
- Criminal record check
- Identity verification with official Canadian ID
- Confirmation of the right to work in Canada
- Appropriate training depending on services offered (first aid, CPR, child care)
No profile appears on the platform without having completed these checks upon 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 young children or older kids, spoken languages, ability to manage multiple children.
This double approach (ad + active search) multiplies your chances of finding a babysitter in Drummondville quickly. Your children will feel comfortable from the 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 Drummondville families: monthly webinars led by childhood specialists, exclusive content on our social media, and a team available to answer your questions.
You remain in control of your search, but you are never alone in the process.
100% Quebec expertise
Unlike general international platforms, Margot focuses exclusively on family support in Quebec. We understand the specificities of Drummondville families, work-life balance challenges, and the realities of at-home babysitting in our province.
A stable network despite natural turnover
Your favourite babysitter returning to school in September. Another moving to Montreal. One who just had her baby. And you, starting 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? You check the new profiles, contact someone who matches your criteria, and you’re not starting from zero: they’ve 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 Drummondville for your situation
You need a babysitter for your evenings
Birthday dinner, show 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 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 actually available on those evenings. No more begging your sister-in-law or feeling bad about bothering your parents.
Need last-minute help
Urgent meeting at the office, stomach flu keeping you in bed, flat tire on the 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 probably be able to help. That’s the luxury of having your own network.
You want a regular babysitter every Friday evening
Friday night is sacred: it’s your date night with your partner. 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 fixed weekly time slots. Your children will end up waiting for her with excitement, and you’ll finally be able to plan your Fridays without that exhausting logistical stress.
Working shifts with variable hours
Nurse with variable evening shifts, police officer on rotation, firefighter with unpredictable schedules? Unlike those who work the same evenings every week, your schedule changes week to week. You don’t need a babysitter EVERY Tuesday evening — you need one AVAILABLE when your schedule falls on a Tuesday.
That’s where Margot becomes your best ally. Instead of depending on ONE person (who will eventually move, change jobs or no longer be available), you have access to an entire network of verified babysitters. Your subscription allows you to contact several profiles depending on your changing needs. One isn’t available? Contact another. That’s real flexibility.
Multiple children of different ages
Handling three children aged 2, 5 and 9 on a Saturday afternoon? “Sorry, I only babysit age 3 and up.” “I’m not comfortable with babies.” “Three is too many.” You know the drill.
You need someone who can truly orchestrate everything: naps for the youngest, 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: it naturally filters candidates experienced in multi-child care who feel capable of managing your small tribe.
How Mélissa and Geneviève found their babysitter in Drummondville
“Finally a platform where I can see background checks before contacting someone. I found Jessica in three days for our Friday nights. My daughters love her and I leave with peace of mind.”
Mélissa / Saint-Nicéphore
“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.”
Geneviève / Drummondville
FAQ – Find a babysitter in Drummondville
What is the average babysitter rate in Drummondville?
$15 to $22/h depending on experience, number of children and schedule
(Evenings and weekends generally cost more.)
An experienced babysitter with references asks $18 to $22/h.
Rates may vary depending on responsibilities: meals, bath, bedtime, etc.
How to check a babysitter’s background?
At Margot, each babysitter must obligatorily undergo a criminal record check, identity validation with official Canadian ID, confirmation of the right to work in Canada, and all required 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 full-time or part-time care, engaged in long-term educational and emotional development (daily ally).
Do I need to provide a contract to my babysitter?
For occasional care, a formal contract isn’t always necessary, but it is recommended to have a clear written agreement on rates, responsibilities, schedules and any specific instructions. For regular care (ex: 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 e-transfer immediately after the shift. If you hire a babysitter very regularly (several times per 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 evening or on weekends. A babysitter is therefore the only viable option for your outings as a couple, 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 Drummondville?
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 Drummondville?
$75 to $110 for a standard evening (6 p.m. to 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 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 isn’t available anymore? Contact another one without restarting the verification process. They have all already gone through the same rigorous steps. Your network evolves with your needs.
