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!

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!

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!
