I really enjoy working with children and supporting their growth and development. I love creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment where kids feel cared for and supported. I value gentle, attentive caregiving that supports emotional regulation and development. I have experience babysitting toddlers as well as caring for school-age children (5–8 years old), and I am also a mother to a toddler, which has given me hands-on daily experience with infant and early childhood care, routines, and emotional needs. Some of my skills include childcare routines, maintaining structure, preparing meals and snacks, baking (including sourdough), and homemaking skills such as keeping spaces organized and clean. I also enjoy planning simple, creative activities that support learning and play. I am currently more than halfway through two parenting courses, which continue to strengthen my understanding of child development and positive caregiving approaches.

Hello! I am Rachel! :) I am a very fun, and happy person! Including being a momma myself, I have been in childcare for 7 years! I am also currently a home cleaner looking for a small part time job. Within 7 years I have been a nanny to a child with special needs. I have also worked for 3 different daycares. The most recent daycare I was an older infant teacher (Ranging from 6 mo, to 1 year). I also have experience in working with children in therapy sessions, if ever needed. I'd describe my personality as happy, caring, and energetic! I like working with kids because I love helping them learn, and grow! I also love seeing their little personalities come through! I started professionally working with kids when I was right out of high school! Although, I have been working with children through church at a younger age!

Hi! My name is Tiana and I love being able to help shape the minds of the up and coming generations and child care is my passion. I have always been around children and have always had a very deep love for them. Giving snuggles is my specialty! I used to nanny for a young girl with Down syndrome until her mother decided she wanted to spend her days at home. If you need someone who is able to entertain your child with crafts or can make sure nap time happens, I’m your girl!

Hello, my name is Shannon and I am seeking a stable, full-time position with a family in Valparaiso, Portage, or Chesterton who values consistency, structure, and high-quality care. With experience caring for children from newborn through early school age — along with raising my own son, now 22 and serving in the military in a top-ranking role — I understand the importance of discipline, encouragement, and developmental support in a child’s growth. I offer calm, attentive care, structured routines, educational engagement, light meal preparation, and organization related to the children. I am dependable, communicative, and committed to building a long-term relationship with the right family. I am willing to obtain CPR/First Aid certification promptly to meet family safety preferences.

Hi! I’m a reliable, loving, and dedicated nanny with about two years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked through an agency, in a daycare, and with a private family, which has helped me become confident and flexible with different routines and parenting styles. Most of my experience is with babies and toddlers under 4, including caring for twins under 6 months old (lots of cuddles, bottles, and baby snuggles!). I truly love creating a safe, happy, and nurturing environment where little ones can grow, play, and feel loved. I also love making mom and dad’s lives easier by helping with cooking, cleaning, laundry, and keeping things organized so families can relax and enjoy more quality time together.

Growing up, I would always take care of my brothers while my mother was at work. I would also help my grandmother babysit our neighbors kids who we got very close to. I am CPR verified. I love to babysit because i find joy in their laughter and the companionship during downtime watching movies. If their hungry I can prepare a little meal for them.

As a Registered Behavior Therapist with over five years of dedicated experience supporting children on the autism spectrum and additional years in childcare beginning when I was 17 years old, I have developed a deep passion for nurturing young minds and helping them thrive in safe, supportive environments. I find immense joy in building meaningful connections with children, celebrating their unique strengths, and providing the patience, creativity, and structure they need to grow confidently. My clean criminal background reflects my commitment to trustworthiness and safety, and while my CPR and first aid certifications have lapsed, I am eager to renew them promptly at a family’s request to ensure complete peace of mind. Becoming a caregiver for your child(ren) would allow me to bring my expertise, enthusiasm, and genuine care to your family, fostering a positive and enriching experience for everyone involved. *I cannot provide ABA services but I am knowledgeable in different communication methods, toileting schedules, and visual schedules that your child’s may need support with.
