Babysitter Valentine’s Day : it’s possible to find one!

babysitter Valentine's Day

Enjoy a romantic evening for Valentine’s Day by entrusting your children to a Marypop babysitter. Flexible, organised, she will know how to entertain your children and take care of them while you enjoy an evening together.

So, it’s decided, February 14th will not be, this year, an evening like any other.

 

Valentine’s Day, a worldwide tradition

Did you know that? Valentine’s Day is the festival of lovers in France, but also in many other countries. It is the occasion to exchange small gifts and cards with sweet words. It is also a day when we like to give and receive red flowers, symbols of love.

The origin of this festival is attested in the 14th century and originated in Great Britain, where February 14th was celebrated as a lovers’ day because it was thought that birds chose this day to pair. Remaining alive in the Anglo-Saxon world, the festival then spread across the continent.

Valentine’s Day is now celebrated all the way to Asia.  In Japan, for example, the tradition consists of offering chocolate on the morning of February 14th.

Doing manual activities with the babysitter on Valentine’s Day

 

Did you know that? In Anglo-Saxon countries, Valentine’s Day cards are offered to people we love and not just to our lover. By following this tradition, the baby-sitter can have your children make cards on the theme of love and can draw beautiful red hearts with them that they will be proud of. If your baby-sitter is from an Anglo-Saxon country (as is often the case on Marypop), she will be able to introduce your children to the traditions of her country and even speak to them in English throughout the evening.
