Maya W., Babysitter in Bloomington, IN 47401 with 8 years of paid experience

I love helping kids learn how to navigate the world and watching them grow into their personalities. I've babysat since I was 12, worked as a camp counselor for 3 years, and helped with after-school supervision at MCCSC for a little over a year. I have experience with children ages 1-12 and thrive on encouraging creativity and kindness whenever possible.

Mary R.

We had a great experience with Maya and would 10/10 recommend her to other families. She cared for our son on several occasions when he was a little over two years old. She is kind, patient, attentive, responsible, and very reliable. She was always easygoing and engaged with him through activities and play! She connected with him naturally and put us at ease! We truly appreciated having someone we could trust, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring babysitter.

Kimberly P., Babysitter in Bloomington, IN 47401 with 2 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Kimberly, I am a 19 year old sitter with 7 year experience/3 years paid. I am a dedicated babysitter with a huge passion for nurturing and educating children. I am currently a college student at indiana university receiving my international business and child development majors. My goal is to save money for college and eventually attend law school, and I believe that my experiences with babysitting will not only help me achieve that but also enrich my understanding of child development. I have worked with 5 families over the course of my three years on this app in which i worked with up to 5 kids at a time ranging from ages 4-16. I have also worked as a tutor teaching english, spanish, and history. I have experience with children with disability as well as potty training young ones! I firmly believe that children learn best through interactive experiences rather than screens, and I try my best to engage with them with meaningful activities I am CPR and childcare trained, having completed my training at the age of 13. With experience caring for up to five children overnight, I have developed strong multitasking and problem-solving skills. My approach to babysitting emphasizes safety, creativity, and active participation, ensuring that children are not only safe but also entertained and engaged. In addition to my childcare skills, i enjoying cooking and baking! Although this isn’t something all families look for i enjoy preparing meals and allowing kids to help with small tasks in order to stimulate their minds! I also am a pet owner, caring for my cat and dog. so pets are not an issue and can be also watched! if Furthermore, I founded a babysitting group within my Girl Scouts club, where we charged fees to provide training for other kids interested in learning how to care for younger children. This initiative not only helped us develop our skills but also fostered a sense of community and support among peers. I am excited about the opportunity to create a safe, fun, and educational environment for your children. Thank you for considering me as your babysitter! I am confident that my skills and dedication will make a positive impact on your family.

Hi! I am 19 years old and currently a sophomore at Indiana University! I am studying Elementary Education with a concentration in Literacy! 🍎📚 A little about me! I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old and have experience caring for children ages 0–15. Throughout high school, I worked with Brickie Kidz Preschool, and last year I volunteered here in Bloomington at Harmony School! I also spent a summer nannying for a family and most recently worked at Discovery Day Camp, where I worked with children ranging from incoming kindergarteners to high schoolers! I absolutely love working with kids, which is one of the biggest reasons I chose to pursue Elementary Education! I love getting to know each child's personality and finding fun ways to keep them entertained, whether that's playing outside, doing crafts, reading books, or coming up with creative activities! I'm also more than happy to help with homework and reading practice! I have a pretty flexible schedule outside of my IU classes, especially on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays! I also have morning and evening availability on Mondays and Wednesdays as well! I'm open to consistent weekly babysitting, part-time nannying, pick-up/drop-off, occasional date nights, or helping out whenever a family needs an extra hand! I would love the opportunity to get to know some wonderful families and hopefully become someone your kids look forward to spending time with! 🫧🤗🤸‍♀️💖 I can also provide references upon request!

Hello! My name is Josie, I am 22, and I just graduated with my degree in elementary education! As a future teacher, my absolute passion in life is working with kids. Growing up, I helped my mom run her in-home daycare, but I started picking up paid babysitting jobs 7 years ago.

Ashton J., Babysitter in Bloomington, IN 47401 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I'm a junior at Indiana University Bloomington studying clinical psychological science, and I've spent the last 5 years working with kids as a camp counselor and babysitter. I love being a sitter because kids see the world in such creative, honest ways, and I get to be part of their day-to-day fun. I especially enjoy working with kids ages 4 and up, where I can join in on games, crafts, and big imaginations, though I'm also happy to care for kids as young as 2. My goal is always for kids to feel safe, included, and proud of themselves, and for parents to feel confident while they're away. I have 5 years of childcare experience, including camp counseling and babysitting. I have experience working with neurodivergent and disabled children, and I understand that every kid learns, plays, and communicates differently. I take the time to learn what works for each child and adapt to their needs, routines, and preferences. I'm happy to work with kids who need extra support, sensory-friendly routines, or visual schedules. I'm CPR and First Aid certified. My psychology coursework gives me a strong understanding of child development, behavior, and emotional regulation, which helps me stay patient, calm, and supportive, even during meltdowns and tough transitions. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to follow your family's routines and house rules.
