Erin P.
- 20 years paid experience

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! My name is Chloe, I am going to be a sophomore at Purdue University and I'm studying Elementary Education. I have been babysitting, working with children in classrooms, and leading children Sunday school since I was in 8th grade. I absolutely love helping out with kids because I love being able to watch them thrive and grow. I have had multiple opportunities throughout the years to babysit for varying aged children in my community, and I have work in classrooms ages K-5! I also worked in a daycare every morning of my senior year, taking care of infants and toddlers! I absolutely love this because children this young are constantly changing and they are so fun. As for some of my skills, I am very flexible and patient. I find it super important to cater to children's needs and do whatever is best for their specific needs. Since I have worked with multiple different ages of children, I definitely understand the significance of caring for children and making sure they feel welcome and comfortable!

Need a PT ninja grandma for your kids? Child Whisperer? Chaos Coordinator? I'd describe myself as confident, inventive, independent- a true Gen Xer... Will care for any age. I think they should ALL be nurtured and guided and respected for their uniqueness and abilities, not talked down to. I'm a homework helper and can help your kids be happy, successful, confident, and ready for their futures. I support critical thinking skills, assertiveness, and personal autonomy. Infants are awesome, too! I love being a grandma and mom- 4 each! I (and they) think I've done a pretty great job imho. I'd love to use that and have a continuing impact on others. I started working with kids when I was a big sister at 10, babysat by 14! CPR/First Aid certified! Purdue graduate in social psychology! Covid vaccinated! In my spare time, I like to read, binge watch TV, camp.

Isabella W.
- 6 years paid experience

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!

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.
