Sittercity helps Elkhart families find the best babysitters

Hi there! I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) with a focus on working with children with developmental challenges. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and Psychology, and I’ve been passionate about child care since I started babysitting at age 14. With over 7 years of experience caring for infants through toddlers, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with several families for extended periods - building strong relationships and meaningful memories along the way. I’m skilled in diaper changes, meal prep, and planning fun, developmentally appropriate activities. I’m also certified in Adult and Child CPR & First Aid, ensuring your child’s safety is always a priority. I bring energy, creativity, and genuine care to every family I work with, and I’d be thrilled to support yours!

I became a sitter because I’ve always had a natural connection with children and a strong desire to help others. I enjoy being someone kids can trust and feel comfortable with, and I love knowing that I’m making a positive difference in their day. What I like most about caregiving is the joy and energy kids bring, the chance to support their growth, and the meaningful relationships I get to build with families.

Hi I’m Mia. I’m 27 years old and my mom has had an in home childcare since I was 10 years old. I started watching/helping her when I was younger, and got to experience many different scenarios with children. I took child development in high school, and graduated in 2016. I also have about 2 years of college in early elementary education, and got to be a student teacher. I’ve also worked as a summer camp counselor at the Kroc Center, and got my CPR certification for that. My most recent experience with children is being an in home nanny for the past 3 years. As of right now, my mom and I run her in home daycare together. As you can see, I have a lot of experience with children and love to work with them/help them hit their milestones in life.

I love being a sitter because it gives me the opportunity to build meaningful connections with kids while helping families feel confident and supported. I enjoy creating fun, safe, and engaging environments where children can learn, laugh, and feel cared for. I have extensive experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I adapt easily to different personalities and routines. Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in communication, patience, and problem-solving, which help me handle anything from daily care to unexpected challenges. I’m certified in CPR and first aid, and I also know how to swim, which gives families peace of mind during outdoor or water activities. Whether I’m helping with homework, playing games, or sticking to bedtime routines, I always make it a priority to be reliable, caring, and attentive. Babysitting truly brings me joy, and I take pride in being someone families can count on.
