Our son loves Kaylynn. She keeps him engaged with different activities. She is very meticulous in managing her routine and engaging in various activities with kids. She is very punctual and always there when we need her. My son is thrilled with all the artwork he gets to create with Kaylynn. I highly recommend Kaylynn.

Chloe M., Babysitter in Lafayette, IN 47909 with 5 years of paid experience

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!

Jasmine P., Babysitter in Lafayette, IN 47909 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Jasmine, and I am a dedicated childcare professional with over 5 years of experience caring for children from newborns to 12 years old. Working with children has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment where every child feels valued, respected, and encouraged to grow. Throughout my childcare experience, I have cared for children of various ages, personalities, and developmental stages. My responsibilities have included feeding infants, preparing meals and snacks, diaper changes, potty training support, helping with homework, maintaining routines, organizing activities, supervising playtime, assisting with bedtime, and providing attentive care during daily transitions. I understand that every child is unique, and I strive to meet each child’s individual needs while helping them feel comfortable, secure, and confident. In addition to my babysitting experience, I have been a preschool teacher for the past 2 years. As a teacher, I have gained valuable experience supporting children’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development. I work daily with young learners, helping them build important skills through structured activities, creative play, hands-on learning, and positive guidance. My classroom experience has strengthened my ability to manage multiple children, encourage positive behavior, communicate effectively, and create learning opportunities that are both fun and educational. My personality is one of my greatest strengths when working with children. I am patient, caring, dependable, compassionate, and energetic. I understand that children thrive when they feel loved, heard, and supported, so I always make it a priority to build positive relationships with the children and families I work with. I enjoy being creative, whether that means reading stories, doing arts and crafts, playing games, exploring educational activities, or simply finding new ways to make learning fun. Families describe me as trustworthy, responsible, reliable, and approachable. I understand the importance of open communication with parents and guardians, and I work hard to ensure families feel confident and comfortable when their children are in my care. Safety is always my top priority, and I believe in providing attentive supervision while also encouraging independence, confidence, and age-appropriate growth.
