Find a babysitter in Trois-Rivières with Margot
Finding a babysitter in Trois-Rivières is often a 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 exactly this 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 includes 32 verified babysitters active in Trois-Rivières and its surroundings, including downtown, Cap-de-la-Madeleine, Trois-Rivières-Ouest and Pointe-du-Lac. 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 simple baby-sitter: you want someone responsible and caring, able to manage the evening routine, soothe a little boo-boo or sing loudly while laughing out loud with your children.
With Margot, create your account, publish your request, meet verified candidates and find your trusted babysitter in just a few days. Each profile has been rigorously validated: identity verification, criminal background check and mandatory training according to the service. You are joining a community where your children’s safety comes first.
How to find a babysitter in Trois-Rivières with Margot?
Whether you need a babysitter once a month or every week, our process is designed to make your life easier:

Only verified babysitters see your ad. Indicate what you are looking for: occasional babysitting, regular evenings, full weekends or occasional backup.
With our secure messaging, chat with the candidates you are interested in. Organize a meeting (online or at your home) to see how the connection is with your children and confirm that this is the right person.

Why choose Margot to find a babysitter in Trois-Rivières?
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 background check
- Identity validation with official Canadian documents
- Confirmation of the right to work in Canada
- Appropriate training according to the services offered (first aid, CPR, child care)
No profile appears on the platform without having completed these verifications at 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, you can explore profiles in your neighbourhood and filter by availability (evenings, weekends), experience with toddlers or older children, languages spoken, ability to manage multiple children.
This double approach (ad + active search) increases your chances of quickly finding a babysitter in Trois-Rivières. 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 Trois-Rivières families: monthly webinars led by childhood specialists, exclusive content on our social networks, 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 large international platforms, Margot specializes exclusively in family support in Quebec. We understand the particularities of Trois-Rivières families, the challenges of work-life balance, and the realities of home babysitting in our province.
A stable network despite natural turnover
Your favourite babysitter returning to school in September. Another moving to Quebec City. Another 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 up-to-date babysitters. Your regular babysitter is no longer available? You browse the new profiles, contact someone who fits your criteria, and you don’t start from zero: all have already passed the same rigorous verifications.
This is particularly valuable if you have sporadic or changing needs: you are never caught off guard. Your network of trusted babysitters evolves with you, and you stay in control.

Find a babysitter in Trois-Rivières for your situation
You need a babysitter for your evenings
Birthday dinner, show as a couple, work 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 return with peace of mind knowing everything went well.
On Margot, specify your needs in your ad (frequency, evening schedule, children’s ages) and you will receive applications from babysitters who are available exactly 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 taking you out, flat tire on your way back from daycare… Calling six numbers 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 likely be able to help you. That is the luxury of having your network.
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 scramble: “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. Several on Margot reserve fixed time slots each week. Your children will eventually look forward to seeing her, and you will finally 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 hours? Unlike those who always work the same evenings, your schedule changes weekly. You don’t need a babysitter EVERY Tuesday night — you need a babysitter AVAILABLE when your schedule falls on a Tuesday.
That’s when 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 a complete network of verified babysitters. Your subscription allows you to contact several profiles based on your changing needs. One isn’t available? Contact another. That is true flexibility.
Multiple children of different ages
Managing three children aged 2, 5 and 9 on a Saturday afternoon? “Sorry, I only watch kids 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: toddler naps, homework for the oldest, playtime with the middle one. Without losing patience. Without turning on the TV for four hours. On Margot, clearly indicate the ages in your ad: this naturally filters candidates experienced in multi-child care who feel capable of managing your little crew.

FAQ – Find a babysitter in Trois-Rivières
What is the average rate for a babysitter in Trois-Rivières?
$15 to $22/hour depending on experience, number of children and schedule
(Evenings and weekends are generally more expensive.)
An experienced babysitter with references charges $18 to $22/hour.
Rates may vary based on responsibilities: meals, bath, bedtime, etc.
How to check a babysitter’s background?
At Margot, each babysitter must undergo a mandatory criminal background check, identity verification with official Canadian documents, confirmation of their right to work in Canada, and all required training according to the services offered. These verifications 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/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 is not always necessary, but it is recommended to have a clear written agreement on rates, responsibilities, schedules and specific instructions. For regular care (example: every Friday night), Margot provides contract templates to clarify both parties’ expectations.
How do I pay my babysitter in Québec?
For occasional care, payment is generally made in cash or via Interac transfer directly after the care. If you hire a babysitter very regularly (several times a week), you may need to consider declaring her as an occasional employee. Consult Revenu Québec to know your obligations based 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, your social events or your 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 Trois-Rivières?
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 Trois-Rivières?
$75 to $110 for a standard evening (6 p.m. to 11 p.m., 5 hours) with two children, depending on experience and responsibilities (meals, bath, bedtime). After midnight, expect an increased rate or taxi reimbursement for the babysitter’s 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 verifications. All have already gone through the same rigorous process. Your network evolves with your needs.
