Morgan is wonderful! Our kids love her and so do we! She's very kind and calming and actually plays with and interacts with the kids instead of just watching them.

Greta H., Babysitter in Valparaiso, IN 46383 with 5 years of paid experience

I am a nursing student looking for a fulfilling role this summer! I have experience as a nanny, summer camp counselor, and healthcare worker in the public school system. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I am CPR and First Aid certified with clinical experience as well. I also have extensive experience working with children with special needs. Growing up with a sibling who has special needs and volunteering as a caregiver with Special Olympics has given me valuable experience providing compassionate, individualized care. Working with children is incredibly rewarding to me. I love getting to know each child's unique personality, supporting their growth and development, and creating engaging activities that encourage learning and outdoor play. Outside of work, I enjoy flying and earned my pilot's license two years ago. I have my own reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, I would be happy to provide references or schedule a call. I look forward to connecting with you!

I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, so roughly 13 years. I have baby sat children from the ages of infant to about 12. I am CPR certified and have taken an EMT course through Indiana University. I have cared for 4 children at once, so I can handle a lot at once. I have many young cousins whom I have looked after for most of my teenage life as well. I have experience with children with autism as well as infant care experience. I love doing activities with the kids I babysit including arts and crafts, outside play, and other hands on activities.
