Mykah C., Babysitter in Indianapolis, IN 46220 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi all! I am a recent graduate from Marian University with my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education, a full-time teacher, and have been professionally babysitting for going on 8 years. I love kids and watching them learn new things as they explore this world, and fun play and learning are what your kids will do with me as their babysitter (or kid-sitter as I've been called before haha). I love to laugh, smile, play my flute, sing, and dance, so I will be sure to keep a smile on your kid's face! I won't disappoint when you choose me to take care of your child(ren)! I am CPR/First Aid Certified, receive my flu shot every year, fully COVID vaccinated since April 2021 (and boosted!), and am SafeSitter Verified. Looking forward to speaking with you! I am only available for evening and weekend jobs.

Mykah was amazing! She was super flexible, friendly, and our 4 year old son LOVED her! She responded quickly and followed through on interview and meet and greet requests. We came from out of town, so she was able to take our son out to enjoy some of the local sights during our vacation. We highly recommend Mykah and would keep using her regularly if we were local to Indy!

Cara L., Babysitter in Indianapolis, IN 46220 with 30 years of paid experience

Hi! I am a person who finds caring for children enriching and rewarding. Since my children are now 27 and 25, I have more free time on weekends and eveings and I miss having the energy and spirit of young children in my life. I am certified in CPR and first aid. I have a college degree in Psychology and Social Work with a Spanish minor. I am one of those people who genuinely enjoys interacting with young children. It uplifts my spirit and makes me smile. Their vivacity and curiosity energizes me and brings out my playful, silly side. I am also skilled at directing children, guiding them towards making good choices, and being a stern authority figure when needed. I have a professional 8am-5pm job so I am available nights and weekends. I know that most professional adults do not babysit on the side, but I enjoy children so much that I would happily spend my free time doing something that I find rewarding and that helps another family. My office job is not too taxing and I still have plenty of energy in the evening. Plus I look forward to getting to interact and play with kids and it's often one of the highlights of my week, so that is a boost! I have a wealth of skill and experience working with kids. I babysat regularly from the age of 12 through my college years. I raised 2 wonderful children. I've taught weekly classes for preschoolers and homeschoolers ages 5-12. I've led girl scout troops, coached soccer, volunteered in classrooms, led children's parties and events, volunteered as a tutor in homeless centers, served as PTO president and room parent, cofounded and led a homeschool group, and cared for children in the foster care system. I also babysat and nannied part-time when I was a stay at home mom. My friends knew I was great with kids and my children were very well behaved so some of my days were spent caring for friends' children in addition to my own. Babysitting is a great way for me to earn additional disposable income doing something I enjoy. I'm willing to consider babysitting overnight or unusual hours. I have background check results available upon request. (Sittercity only displays the badge if you pay to run a new check every 3 months.) If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

I cannot say enough good things about Comfort. She cared for my son during the most difficult period of our lives as he faced rapidly progressive dementia. Throughout it all, she was compassionate, dependable, patient, and incredibly attentive to his needs. She treated my son with dignity and kindness every single day, even as his condition changed so quickly. Her calm presence, reliability, and genuine concern brought comfort not only to him, but to our entire family. I always knew he was safe, respected, and cared for when she was with him. She went far beyond basic caregiving duties — she provided emotional support, encouragement, and companionship during a heartbreaking journey. Her professionalism and dedication were exceptional, and her empathy made an enormous difference in our lives. I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and truly caring caregiver.
