Birth of an Idea
Travelling Parents
Melody became a first-time mom in 2014 when her little boy was born. Then in 2017, Melody & Peter became proud parents again…this time bringing their baby girl into this world.
On a holiday in Costa Rica, Melody & Peter wanted to go ziplining but were too anxious to simply hire a local babysitter. They realized Jasper visitors might have the same kind of apprehension and saw My Jasper Nanny as a much-needed service.

My Jasper Nanny Team
Our experienced fun, outgoing nannies are exceptional, reliable professionals with a passion for safely exploring & sharing our great Rocky Mountain outdoors.
Greetings! My name is Theodore and I have been a Jasper resident since August 2017. Ever since, I've spent a great deal of my time running, hiking, and biking throughout Jasper National Park as a means of familiarising myself with & exploring the area. I have been a dog owner for over 14 years of my life & I am extremely grateful to share my outdoor experiences with my current dog Apollo; a 3 year old cattle-dog whom I've spent the past 2 years building a relationship with, before moving him to Jasper & taking him into my full-time care as of April 2023. He is my trusty sidekick & a great companion to other dogs that join us on our outdoor adventures. If you are a dog owner and are looking for someone they can trust, look no further. I will provide your beloved pets with the attention and companionship necessary to lead a happy & healthy lifestyle.

Hello, my name is Thea. I’m one of My Jasper Nanny's younger nannies, but I have a lot of childcare experience. I graduated with honours in 2018. I’ve babysat infants as young as 6 months old and really enjoy children of all ages. I have been babysitting since I was 12 and have lived in Jasper my whole life.

Hey! My name is Danielle and I’m originally from Manitoba. I moved to Jasper at the beginning of summer 2022 and I’m loving it! I can’t wait to see this beautiful place during the winter season!
In my spare time I love to be outside hiking, camping, going on the water. I also love to cook/bake, play guitar and piano! I am also bilingual, I speak French and English.
I decided to join my Jasper Nanny because since moving out here I’ve missed being with children. I love their energy, youthfulness and joy! Back home I have 3 young foster kids that I consider as my siblings since they’ve been in my life for 8 years.
Throughout the years I’ve babysat for families in my hometown. I love taking the kids on walks and seeing how many parks we can find. I also love playing any game their heart desires, if that’s tag, imaginary games or swimming.
I’m really looking forward to meeting you and your family!

What Our Clients Are Saying
Reviews from My Jasper Nanny Clients
We wish we could take Melody on all our family trips!
My family of 5 just got home from an amazing trip to Jasper. Melody was incredible with our three kids ages 8, 6 and 3 the entire week. She was there on time every day and even stayed late a couple times with no issue. She went above and beyond, bringing the kids toys, books and stuffed animals, prepping meals, cleaning up and making sure they were active and happy during the day, including taking them swimming and other activities. Most of her time was spent with our 3 year old while we went on adventures with the older kids, but she played with them as well when we returned. She also cooked meals a few times and did bedtime routine on some evenings we went out for date night and cleaned everything up too! She even helped us get everything packed up the morning of our departure and helped make that craziness go as smoothly as possible. We definitely recommend Melody and My Jasper Nanny and wish we could take her on all our family trips! 🙏

Outstanding service put me at ease instantly
If anyone is looking for an outstanding babysitting/nanny service in Jasper I would definitely recommend myjaspernanny.ca. We used their services for our daughter’s wedding. We were very pleased with Nanny Melody and I am someone with very high expectations! Melody put me at ease instantly. She was so good with our 7 month old grandson and went above and beyond to make sure we could relax and enjoy the wedding. Thank you Melody!!

It was worth every penny!
We hired Melody for my wedding at Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge. She watched my 7 month old baby from 10:00AM - 12:30AM. It was worth every penny! She was AMAZING with our baby. I highly recommend her.

The kids had such an incredible night!
Melody watched our kiddos this past weekend while we attended our close friends beautiful wedding at Pyramid Lake Resort. She came right to our hotel room with a giant bag of toys and the kids were instantly excited for a night with their first ever "babysitter"! The kids had such an incredible night of pizza, kayaking, hot tubbing and reading books! I was so happy when we arrived at the resort and the front office staff knew exactly who she was and assured me the kids were going to have a blast. She made us feel at ease with her awesome text updates and we spent the entire night bragging about how easy and helpful her service was for parents on a mountain getaway to Jasper! We will definitely be calling Melody again when it comes time to hit the slopes in the winter 🥰

Our dog Porter had a great time with Caleb
Our dog Porter had a great time with Caleb at Jasper Nanny. Melody was accommodating with us as we booked with less than 24hrs notice (it was early June in the shoulder season). We were able to explore the Hot springs while Porter got to play at Jaspers large dog park and hangout within someone’s home. She came back very tired. Jasper nanny has many options for dog sitting including at your hotel or campsite!
