Hi, I’m Lindsey. I love children and I enjoy playing a role in their formative years. I spent two years as a live-in nanny (two children, from newborn to three years old), and now I enjoy babysitting in my free time. I work from home full-time as an academic editor, and my schedule is flexible and conducive to babysitting. I also have teaching experience – I have taught English as a second language to adults and children for the past year and a half. I don’t mind making my babysitting sessions somewhat educational – just ask! I look forward to hearing from you soon.

This was my first time using chime. My 2 year old absolutely loved Lindsey! She was timely and was excellent with him. He even cried when she left!

Ні, Former substitute teacher in the PHM District and South Bend Community Schools. Former middle school science teacher and two year full-time caregiver. I'm looking for ways to supplement my income. Occasional sitting has worked well for me and allows the flexibility I need in order to help with my out-of-town grandchildren and support my four adult children. I've passed multiple background checks as well as CPS history checks in order to work in the schools. CPR and standard first aid certified. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss caring for your loved ones to see if we’re a good fit. Please reach out to me if you are interested or have any additional questions. Fully Vaccinated including RSV and Covid, including boosters. Extremely reliable, conscientious, and punctual. Regards, Martha

Martha was outstanding with my 8-month-old son. She was playful, fun, responsive, and friendly. She also helped me out and did some cleaning while my son napped.

Hi! My name is Bre, and I have a passion for helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. I have experience working with kids as both a children's counselor and an ABA therapist, where I've developed skills in creating fun, engaging, and structured environments tailored to each child's unique needs. I'll soon be starting my master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) while also taking American Sign Language (ASL) classes because I'm passionate about continuing my education and becoming the best advocate I can be for children and families. Whether we're playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or simply having fun together, I strive to provide a safe, patient, and encouraging environment where every child feels valued and understood. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Yadira was wonderful caring for our 6-month-old. He was always happy and giggling with her. She was a professional and prompt babysitter that I definitely would hire again.

I love being a sitter because it gives me the opportunity to build meaningful connections with kids while helping families feel confident and supported. I enjoy creating fun, safe, and engaging environments where children can learn, laugh, and feel cared for. I have extensive experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I adapt easily to different personalities and routines. Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in communication, patience, and problem-solving, which help me handle anything from daily care to unexpected challenges. I’m certified in CPR and first aid, and I also know how to swim, which gives families peace of mind during outdoor or water activities. Whether I’m helping with homework, playing games, or sticking to bedtime routines, I always make it a priority to be reliable, caring, and attentive. Babysitting truly brings me joy, and I take pride in being someone families can count on.

Taryn is amazing! She worked with us every step of figuring out how to bring a nanny into our home. So sweet, understanding, flexible, and of course, great with our little girl. Especially kind to first time mom who works from home.

Hi Im Ulani and I am a compassionate, loving go with the flow young woman who absolutely adores children and discovering their likes and dislikes and their unique personalities. I believe that a child should be themselves with a babysitter and shouldn’t hide who they are. I love creating bonds with not only the children but the parents too. If you’d like to have a phone interview I would love to do so. I will also share my previous work history as a nanny.

Hi! My names Allie. I'm 21 and I graduated early from high school with a 3.7 gpa and my associates in science. I am currently a nursing student. I significantly helped raised my two younger siblings, 1 boy and 1 girl. I also frequently babysat for my coworkers who had newborns so they could pick up more shifts. I love all animals, reading, and the outdoors. I have two cats of my own and have owned reptiles and dogs when I lived with my parents! I do best with children under the age of 10, but can still accommodate and properly care for those older.

Hi! My name is Paula, and I’m a mom, college student, and experienced childcare professional with many years of experience caring for children of all ages. My background includes nannying, babysitting, working in preschool settings, and supporting children in an elementary school environment. I’m currently pursuing my bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education because working with children is something I truly enjoy and hope to continue doing throughout my career. I also work as an Educational Assistant with Penn-Harris-Madison, where I support students throughout the school day with academics, routines, and individualized needs. Before working in the school system, I spent years nannying and babysitting for families, along with working at The Goddard School with children from infants through preschool. These experiences have given me a strong background in child development, age-appropriate activities, routines, and creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children. I’m also a mom of three, including my newborn daughter. I’m looking for a family who is comfortable with me bringing my newborn along while I provide care for their children. I think this can be a really wonderful setup, especially for families with younger children, because they get the opportunity for social interaction while still receiving attentive, one-on-one care. I’m very comfortable managing multiple children, maintaining routines, and making sure every child feels seen, included, and cared for. I love getting outside, reading, doing crafts and activities, playing, and finding fun ways for children to learn through everyday experiences. My goal is always to create an environment where children feel safe, loved, encouraged, and excited to learn. I’m currently looking for a childcare opportunity that fits within my school and work schedule. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide your children with the same patience, care, and attention I would want for my own.
