Ні, I'm a substitute teacher in the PHM District and previously in 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 four 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. In July 2023 l (renewed) completed and passed the CPR and standard first aid course. 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 (Covid), including booster. Extremely reliable, conscientious, and punctual. Regards, Martha

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.

Hello, all! I am a recent Bethel University grad who majored in English and Special education. I am licensed 5th-12th in both areas. Currently, I work at Grissom Middle School as a resource teacher and have loved getting to know this new and exciting position. I babysit regularly as a date night/special events sitter and work with several families in the area. As I anticipate working my first full year as a teacher, I am looking to continue babysitting evenings and weekends. I enjoy reading, board games, singing, creativity, the outdoors, and yummy food. If you think I could be a match for you and your family’s needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love to introduce myself! Sincerely, Halee (260) 336-8921

What I love most about being a sitter is the chance to watch little personalities develop and flourish. It is truly rewarding to be a supportive part of a child's early years! As a parent myself to two wonderful children (ages 4 and 6), I understand the need for reliable, nurturing care. I bring over 15 years of dedicated babysitting experience to your family, having started professionally at 14. This includes extensive, hands-on experience with children who have special needs. Safety is my highest priority. I am CPR and First Aid certified and trained through my 12 years of service in the military, which instills strong discipline, reliability, and emergency preparedness. For added peace of mind, I also carry a LifeVac device. I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children can thrive. I look forward to connecting with your family!
