Maya W., Babysitter in Ellettsville, IN 47429 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.

Hi! My name is Payton and I am a 20 year old who is about to graduate with my BSW.

I am CPR certified First aid trained And I have a reliable car If you have any questions I’m happy to answer!

Hannah W., Babysitter in Ellettsville, IN 47429 with 6 years of paid experience

I’m Hannah. I am a patient, dependable, and supportive nanny and sitter. I value creating a fun and engaging environment where children feel both safe and excited to learn and experience new things. I have experience with children in a wide range of ages, ranging from 6 months to 16 years old. In addition, all children under my care have held a wide range of personalities and needs. I have strong knowledge and experience with children with learning differences, with primary experience being autism. I strongly value building rapport with children and offering an environment primarily focused around play based learning. My approach includes maintaining routines, outside time, play where I am specifically engaging with the kids while also recognizing the importance of independent play, planning age appropriate activities, and help with school related things. I strive to build trusting relationships with all families through communications, dependability, consistency, and respect. In all, I have always enjoyed working with children and having the opportunity to aid and be there during important milestones. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Alley M., Babysitter in Ellettsville, IN 47429 with 11 years of paid experience

I am a recent graduate of the Master's in Public Affairs program at IU. I am looking to work more hours than my current job offers. Since I missed working with kids while completing my Master's, I thought this would be a good opportunity to start babysitting again. I began babysitting at the age of 13, and worked as a sitter through college. I was a nanny for four summers and I've been a long term babysitter for eight families. I have babysat all ages, including infants to teenagers. I have been certified in first-aid and lifeguarding. I take the responsibilities of working with kids very seriously, but I love to engage kids in active, educational, and creative games. As a camp counselor I learned to work with all types of children. I genuinely appreciate the unique qualities of each kid, and learning what helps them to be their best. I personally enjoy gardening, cooking, and doing ceramics in my free time, so as a babysitter I typically bring supplies to play outside, do arts and crafts, and bake. I have babysat children with behavioral problems, which has enhanced my patience even more. I understand the separation anxiety many kids can have when parents are away. My hope as a babysitter is to make the time I spend with them enjoyable, and feel more like a playdate than having a babysitter.

Alyssa L., Babysitter in Ellettsville, IN 47429 with 4 years of paid experience

I am currently studying Clinical Psychology at Indiana University Bloomington, with a minor in Prevention and Intervention in Child Development. I have a strong passion for working with children, helping them feel understood, supported, and able to grow into happy, healthy individuals. My long-term career goal is to help parents and society better understand child development and the importance of building healthy relationships with children. Beyond my academic goals, I genuinely love being around kids and creating meaningful connections with them. I have over six years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. I worked at a daycare for two years with children ranging from 6 months old through 7th grade, and I have taught gymnastics for four years to children ages 2–13. Through these roles, I completed CPR certification, first aid, choking hazard response, safe sleep training, and other child safety and protection trainings. I have also babysat for multiple families since 8th grade, giving me additional hands-on experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. I am patient, dependable, and attentive, and I always strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children. In addition, I love animals and am happy to help care for pets, especially dogs. I am highly organized, enjoy cleaning and keeping spaces tidy, and I am always willing to help where needed. While cooking is not my strongest skill, I am eager to learn and improve so I can assist with meal preparation. I also have tutoring experience and can help children with homework and school responsibilities.
