Hello, my name is Brittany and I am 23 years old and am very interested in being your sitter. I am currently an executive director of a daycare where I run and take care of all the daycare business! I have 10 years of experience as a babysitter for children newborn through the 8th grade. I have my own car and a clean driving record. I also am certified in CPR, First Aid, and many more! I am very loving, patient, and outgoing and love having activities that children will find entertaining. I just graduated college with a major in Elementary Education and have been subbed in many grade levels to continue building my love and involvement with children. My babysitting skills and experience, along with my positive attitude and friendly nature, position me to excel in this role. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and discuss my qualifications in more detail. Thank you very much, and I look forward to speaking with you soon!

As a young child my mom did income daycare, so I grew up helping out with it. As well as helping raise my younger sister, after my mom passed away. I've continued to babysit when need be for neighbors, friends, family, and other children. I have been babysitting for at least 10 years, and have nannied for 3. lI've watched children of all ages, and feel extremely comfortable with them all. I've recently been watching a 3 year old and an infant, or an 8 and 10 year old. I've done many things with the children, making any meals, taking them to the pool, walks, the park, naps and bedtimes. I'm very artsy and enjoy doing crafts. I also love the outdoors, and would rather be outside then inside. I have no issues with any pets. I'm CPR certified, and can handle any situation comfortably. I do have my own car and am willing to take car of any drop offs or pick ups as needed. I am opened to anything! I also have a 6 month old that I would like to be able to tag along with me. I look forward to hearing from you!

I'm a pre-nursing student currently working part time as a registered behavioral technician with kids who have autism. My 8 years of babysitting experience has provided me a plethora of skills (meal prep, diaper changes, calming strategies) and being CPR + first aid certified has only enriched my ability to provide quality care to youth. I have extensive experience with children of all ages including those with special needs. I have my own car, I'm patient, creative, and enjoy building connections with kids, and I'm comfortable with all personalities and age groups. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call!

Hi, my name is Reese Burke. I am 19 years old, and I am currently in my sophomore year of college at Central College. I have babysat for family members, as well as family friends. I also worked for two families this past summer. I want to babysit because I love working with kids. I have worked at an after school daycare, and I spent my senior year of high school in an elementary classroom learning to work with kids. I am able to perform CPR, I learned in high school health class. And I have also worked with multiple children at once. I am comfortable working with children of any age! The hours that best work for me right now, are any times after 3:30pm any day of the week, as well as any time before 11am on M/W/F. I do understand that being in college while babysitting can be a challenge, but I believe I have good time management skills, and I can make it work!

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and being someone families can trust. I find it rewarding to help kids feel safe, supported, and cared for while also having fun through games, crafts, reading, or quiet time. I have experience caring for children of various ages, following family routines, supervising playtime, preparing simple meals, and making sure kids are safe and engaged. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, with strong communication skills, and I handle situations calmly while respecting household rules. I take my responsibilities seriously and always aim to provide kind, consistent, and reliable care that gives parents peace of mind.

Hi! I’ve been caring for children for years — from babysitting nieces, nephews, and family friends to now being a proud mom of a teenager. I truly love spending time with kids and creating a safe, nurturing environment for them to learn, play, and feel comfortable. As a single mom, I understand how valuable trustworthy child care can be — especially when you need a well-deserved break or a night out. I’m available for date nights, last-minute evening or weekend care, and “me time” coverage. Let me give you the peace of mind you deserve knowing your children are in reliable and caring hands. When you take care of yourself, you’re at your best for your kids — and I’d love to help make that possible!

My full name is Jordyn but I typically go by my nickname, Jordy. I grew up being the oldest in a house with 6+ kids! I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old. I love kids and I love pets, I even have a couple kitties of my own. I always love doing crafts and fun things with the kiddos (keeping kids entertained is my specialty lol) but I will never turn down a good lazy day. I’m a pretty patient person and tantrums are no match for me! I also tend to get pretty board when there’s nothing to do, so when the kiddos are napping, expect the dishes to be done haha! I currently work part time at Kippy’s Place in Elkhart Iowa and I strictly work nights in the late week. Other than that, I’m pretty much available all the time!
