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.

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 have worked with children professionally for the past two to three years and personally I am one of the oldest out of 7 siblings (including me).

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.

Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, spending time outdoors, or following a bedtime routine, I strive to create a positive, caring, and dependable environment for every family I work with. I look forward to getting to know your family and providing reliable, compassionate care for your children!

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.
