I love being a babysitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for them. Watching kids learn, grow, and express their creativity is incredibly rewarding, and I take pride in being a positive influence in their lives. I also love knowing that I can provide peace of mind to parents by being a responsible and caring sitter. I have experience babysitting children of different ages, including family members, neighbors, and families looking for a reliable caregiver. I’m comfortable handling tasks such as helping with homework, preparing meals, bedtime routines, and engaging kids in fun and educational activities. My experience has taught me how to be patient, attentive, and adaptable to each child’s needs. As a babysitter, I bring important skills such as responsibility, patience, and creativity. I have basic first-aid knowledge and can handle emergency situations calmly. I enjoy organizing games, assisting with schoolwork, and ensuring that children follow their daily routines in a safe and positive way. My top priority is always to keep kids happy, engaged, and secure while under my care.

I just graduated with my Masters Degree in Rec and Sports management from University of Arkansas. I also was on the swimming and diving team for 5 years. Achieving a US Olympic Trials cut and multiple All American honors. I was also team captain for 4/5 years. As I am finished and looking for a job post graduation, I am looking for some extra money. I absolutely love kids. I grew up taking care of multiple kids of all ages. I have 2 cousins that I basically took care of every day from my age of 14-18 before I left for college. I decided to sign up for this app because I will most likely be moving out of Arkansas in the coming months, so this is better than committing to a job somewhere and having to tell the company I have to move in just a couple of months. I am outgoing, fun, and patient with kids. I love making sure kids have fun with me and are comfortable and safe. I was a lifeguard for multiple summers, and have 19+ years of experience as a swimmer. Your kids will be safe in my hands I can assure you!

Hello, families! My name is Annie, and I'm an art educator with a passion for childcare. I have 8 years of experience working with children of all ages. While my background is teaching K-12 visual arts, I specialize in early childhood education. After obtaining a Bachelors in art education, I spent time at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis as well as the Indiana State Museum, becoming familiar with the Reggio Emilia approach. In addition, I spent a year at a Montessori school as the aftercare classroom lead. During this time, I was able to continue my education with a Montessori Primary course. I currently hold CPR, First Aid, Pre-Art Therapy, and AMI Montessori 3-6 certifications. While working with families, I collaborate with parents to practice gentle parenting, focusing on setting boundaries, understanding natural consequences, and giving children the comfort, support, and respect they need to strengthen emotional intelligence and hit developmental milestones. I enjoy planning activities and playdates at museums, libraries, nature centers, parks, playgrounds, etc. for the children in my care. While working with children, I love to spend time in nature, which helps to regulate the nervous system, and practice fine and gross motor skills. My current professional goals are to learn baby sign language and continue to discover children's literature.

Hi! I’m Vivian, a dedicated, energetic, and childcare‑focused college student with six years of hands‑on babysitting experience and professional training in behavior support. I’ve had the privilege of babysitting for the same neighborhood family for six years, caring for their children as they grew from toddlers into confident, curious kids. Through this long‑term relationship, I’ve built a foundation in nurturing, consistent, and developmentally supportive care. In addition to my babysitting background, I work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at WePlay!, where I support children with a range of developmental and behavioral needs. This role has strengthened my skills in patience, communication, positive behavior strategies, and adapting to the unique strengths of every child. I’m currently a student at Ball State University, majoring in Social Work and minoring in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). My academic path reflects my passion for helping children grow, feel supported, and succeed both emotionally and developmentally.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children can have fun, feel supported, and be themselves. I have several years of childcare and youth-program experience in roles including Head Counselor with Carmel Clay Parks and Recreation, Youth Program Coordinator/Lead Staff Coordinator with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Boone County Zionsville Unit, and Assistant Preschool Teacher with The Learning Experience in Westfield. Through these roles, I've supervised children across a range of ages from infant to middle school, led activities, supported routines, managed behavior calmly and effectively, and communicated closely with parents and guardians. I'm especially skilled at keeping kids engaged through creative play, crafts, games, music, and structured activities while also making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My training includes CPR/First Aid/AED Certification, QPR (or Suicide Prevention) Certification, Stewards of Children training, and Verbal De-Escalation Techniques Training through the Crisis Prevention Institute. To add to all of this, I am very skilled in organization, baking, cooking, meal preparation, the visual arts and crafts, the performing arts, certain athletics including volleyball, soccer, football, and gymnastics, and some music theory; and I am more than willing to facilitate and foster learning of these skills with children, and apply them to other household needs. I have experience with all types of personalities in kids, even through 4 younger siblings, and know that kids are the future, and need love, support, respect, creativity, and structure; and hope to bring that energy, fun, and safety-minded aspect into the care I provide!
