Ні, I'm a substitute teacher in the PHM District and previously in South Bend Community Schools. Former middle school science teacher and two year full-time caregiver. I'm looking for ways to supplement my income. Occasional sitting has worked well for me and allows the flexibility I need in order to help with my four out-of-town grandchildren and support my four adult children. I've passed multiple background checks as well as CPS history checks in order to work in the schools. In July 2023 l (renewed) completed and passed the CPR and standard first aid course. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss caring for your loved ones to see if we’re a good fit. Please reach out to me if you are interested or have any additional questions. Fully Vaccinated (Covid), including booster. Extremely reliable, conscientious, and punctual. Regards, Martha

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.
