Hello, I’m Erin! I’m a graduate of Purdue University and St. Elizabeth School of Nursing, and have been an RN for (almost!) 30 years. My background has been diverse but I’m especially passionate about adult/senior care, and those with special needs hold a very special place in my heart. If you're looking for someone to help, I would love to talk with you!! I'm happy to answer your questions and discuss my experience, background, and caregiving style. A few fun facts about me: My husband and I have three “kids” (dogs 🐾). I’m a huge fan of Mexican food, Boilermaker basketball and football, road trips, 70’s music, IndyCar racing (a nephew works in the pits!), true crime shows, country music concerts, and Mountain Dew Zero.

Hello! My name is Hunter, and I am 21 years old. I graduated from Harrison and ran Varsity Track and Cross Country all 4 years. I am currently not in college/not going to school. Since I have graduated, I have been working in a daycare as well for our family business. In my free time I enjoy being with friends and family, cleaning, being outside, babysitting, and working out. I am currently the kid's club/daycare manager at Parkwest Fitness. I have been doing this for almost 3 years. I have experience with 6months-teenages. (I've worked with all ages) I am CPR/First Aid certified. I have my driver's license as well as my own car. I am currently looking for a family to part time nanny for. I also wouldn't mind if you are looking for an occasional babysitter as well (love to help in any way!) Some activities I enjoy doing with the children are reading, playing games, doing arts and crafts, and being outside. Pretty much whatever the kids I am watching enjoy! I love to clean so doing household chores/cleaning doesn't bother me at all, as well as running errands! Some responsibilities I have had for families are: -helping with homework -morning/nighttime routines -household cleaning/pickups -transportation -making meals The most important part about being a nanny/babysitter to me is making me feel like family to you, us coming together as one. Also understanding how your family works so I can make your life easier with a little help from me!

Hi! I am a Purdue student studying Biology, and I plan to go into further schooling to become a Pediatric Ultrasound tech or Nurse. I love being surrounded by kids. Growing up, I was always playing with my three sisters and my younger cousins. We would always play different dress up or active games. At Purdue, I am also in College Mentors for Kids, where I get paired with an elementary student. We do activities to inspire learning and explore opportunities for the kids. I am also involved in Special Olympics, where I get to play sports with different people. I love being able to bring equal opportunities and enjoyment to all people. On my off time, I enjoy being active outside and cooking food. I am BLS (basic life support) certified, and I have lots of patience with kids. I also enjoy being around dogs (I am allergic to cats). I have a car, so I am willing to run errands with the kids and do different chores. I am excited and hope that I can be a babysitter for you!

I love being a sitter as growing up I always helped at my church nursery and did camp counseling for a church camp a couple of years as well. I always have gotten along with kids even to younger kids when I was just a kid myself. I enjoy the kids they have so much joy and energy very wholesome to see in a not so wholesome world. I am a hard worker and have great communication skills and great problem solving skills. I am a senior in marine biology at Purdue University.

I have been working with kiddos for over 15 years and love doing so. I am currently an RBT and I work with kiddos that are on the autism spectrum, so I have experience working with kids that have disabilities or just need extra attention.

Hi! I'm Bella (Isabella), and I am 20 years old and a junior at Purdue. I have been a babysitter for several families for 6 years. I have mostly worked very closely with one family where I took the kids to and from school most days, did after-school activities, took the kids to playdates, and did bedtime and wake-up. I have worked with ages 3 months to 12 years old, but mostly have worked with 3 months to 7. I have lots of experience with multiple children at once, as I have mostly babysat for families with 3 or more children. I can cook healthy, simple, kid-friendly meals, and I can do laundry, and overall, I am very neat. I have taken and passed the Red Cross Lifeguard certification, which includes CPR on both infants, children, and adults and basic first aid. I love taking care of kids and always have the best time playing with them, and have no problem running around the playground with them!
