I have raise my family and I am now a grandma to three children 7, 11 and 13. my husband and I moved here to be closer to them. I love babies and taking care of them. If you want your baby to be snuggled and we’ll cared for - I am your person. My husband and I have been foster parents for a baby/toddler with special needs. (Failure to thrive). I have coached my daughter in softball all through her elementary days. I was also a Girl Scout leader. For the last 13 years I have coached in a high school environment which would mean that I have had all my background checks and fingerprints on file with the police department. My specialty is new born - 18 months

Harley Q., Babysitter in Elkhart, IA 50073 with 1 year of paid experience

Hi! My name is Harley and I am currently a senior at Johnston High School. Since October 2025, I have been working with Johnston’s KTC Afterschool Program with elementary-age students. I’ve always loved working with kids and building connections with them—not just as a babysitter or supervisor, but as someone who is approachable, supportive, and easy to talk to. I enjoy creating a fun, positive environment where kids feel comfortable, engaged, and safe.

I currently am a co-lead infant teacher at my current job so I have a lot of experience working with infants. I am also CPR + First Aid certified! I have previously worked with toddlers all the way up to school-agers! I’m available on the weekends, and evenings (5pmish). I enjoy meeting new children, and love to experience their growth as they get older. I would call myself pretty patient, strong minded and a hard worker.

I have taught preschool for various years as well and love teaching the children some milestones in their learning. I am flexible , responsible and reliable.
