I enjoy being a sitter because I love spending time with children, keeping them active with fun activities, and creating positive moments that make them laugh and smile. Most of my childcare experience has been with family members, including helping care for a new cousin, which has given me strong experience with babies as well. From a young age, I regularly watched my cousin while their parents were at work, helping build my responsibility and confidence in childcare. I am dependable, punctual, and able to multitask while staying organized and attentive to children’s needs. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I am currently a senior in high school enrolled in a vocational program working toward my CNA license. Through this program, I have completed hands on training and testing, making me very familiar with proper care and safety practices. Your child would be in caring, capable, and responsible hands.

I began babysitting when I was 12 yrs. old and have always enjoyed caring for and teaching children. While growing up, my Mom was a babysitter, so I saw first hand what all the job entailed. My summer jobs were always as a nanny and included: outdoor activities, swimming lessons (I was on a swim team for 10 years and a certified life guard), age appropriate lessons/tutoring in reading, writing, spelling, and math, social skills, crafts, cooking, and errands. I truly enjoyed it! I retired 9 years ago and decided to go back to doing what I truly love... being a nanny. Over the past 9 years I've had the pleasure of helping a number of families. I have a lot of love, patience, and knowledge still left to give, so I would like to find another family to be a nanny and/or house manager for. I have experience with newborns through junior high age, twins, multiple children, special needs, love pets, am a non-smoker, very active, and love the outdoors. I will also bring along my exceptional organizational skills, prepare meals, run errands, tutor, accommodate activities/schedules, vacation travels, overnights, pet sit, and whatever else I can do to help. I am CPR and First Aid Certified for all ages as well as having a clean driving record and background. I am Covid vaccinated and Tdap up-to-date. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting my next amazing family!

I am a wife and mother of three adult children. I was a certified elementary teacher (k-9) for over 15 years before I moved here, and I love to work with children. I was a full time nanny to two young children (3 yrs old and 3-15 months) in St. Joseph, Michigan (2021-23), another infant 3-20 months in Valparaiso (2023-24), and two children (4 & 2 years old) in Valpo (23-Now) I'm currently available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can help with just about anything including the feeding, cleaning, laundry, making baby food, or homework. Just let me know what it is that you need. I am very comfortable with children of all ages. As a working parent, I understand how hard it is to get it all done and how important it is to find a reliable, trusted individual to care for your most precious commodity - your children. I am hands-on, engaging, and fun. I love to get kids out and about and involved in activities that involve physical movement whenever possible. I am also extremely reliable.

Hi there! My name is Virginia Hernandez, and I'm a 19-year-old college student eager to embark on a meaningful journey this summer by becoming part of a new family dynamic. While I may not have specific babysitting experience, I bring a unique set of skills and qualifications to the table. As a certified nursing assistant, I've honed invaluable practical skills that extend beyond the realm of healthcare. Throughout my training, I've developed a keen sense of responsibility, patience, and adaptability—qualities that I believe are fundamental in caring for children. My experience has also equipped me with essential first aid knowledge and the ability to remain composed in high-pressure situations. Beyond my professional credentials, I'm enthusiastic about creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to thrive. I'm eager to engage in activities that foster creativity, learning, and exploration while ensuring the well-being of your little ones. While I may be new to babysitting, I'm dedicated to learning and growing in this role. I approach every opportunity with an open mind and a willingness to go above and beyond to meet the needs of your family. I'm excited about the prospect of becoming a part of your household, and I'm confident that my background as a certified nursing assistant will complement my caregiving abilities. Thank you for considering me, and I look forward to the possibility of contributing to your family's summer experience!

Grandma for hire! Searching for a family in the Valparaiso/Chesterton area that needs a nanny/grandma to care for their little ones in their home. Looking for a consistent schedule 3 days a week. A little about myself. I have 4 adult children, 5 grandkids, a husband, and a goldendoodle. I worked in the medical field for 12 years as a cardiovascular technician. I also have an associate degree in business from IUN. For the last 12 years, I have been a nanny. My experiences include newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I also have experience taking care of twins. Even though I have a great deal of experience, I understand each child is unique, and there is always something new to learn. Working with parents as a team is very important to me. This is what I truly love to do. I always feel honored when a family chooses me to take care of their children. This is something I take very seriously. If I might be a person you are interested in, I would enjoy a meeting to get to know one another better to see if we are a good fit. Thank you!
