Chloe M., Babysitter in West Lafayette, IN 47906 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Chloe, I am going to be a sophomore at Purdue University and I'm studying Elementary Education. I have been babysitting, working with children in classrooms, and leading children Sunday school since I was in 8th grade. I absolutely love helping out with kids because I love being able to watch them thrive and grow. I have had multiple opportunities throughout the years to babysit for varying aged children in my community, and I have work in classrooms ages K-5! I also worked in a daycare every morning of my senior year, taking care of infants and toddlers! I absolutely love this because children this young are constantly changing and they are so fun. As for some of my skills, I am very flexible and patient. I find it super important to cater to children's needs and do whatever is best for their specific needs. Since I have worked with multiple different ages of children, I definitely understand the significance of caring for children and making sure they feel welcome and comfortable!

Hunter B., Babysitter in West Lafayette, IN 47906 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Hunter, and I am 21 years old. I graduated from Harrison and ran Varsity Track and Cross Country all 4 years. I am currently not in college/not going to school. Since I have graduated, I have been working in a daycare as well for our family business. In my free time I enjoy being with friends and family, cleaning, being outside, babysitting, and working out. I am currently the kid's club/daycare manager at Parkwest Fitness. I have been doing this for almost 3 years. I have experience with 6months-teenages. (I've worked with all ages) I am CPR/First Aid certified. I have my driver's license as well as my own car. I am currently looking for a family to part time nanny for. I also wouldn't mind if you are looking for an occasional babysitter as well (love to help in any way!) Some activities I enjoy doing with the children are reading, playing games, doing arts and crafts, and being outside. Pretty much whatever the kids I am watching enjoy! I love to clean so doing household chores/cleaning doesn't bother me at all, as well as running errands! Some responsibilities I have had for families are: -helping with homework -morning/nighttime routines -household cleaning/pickups -transportation -making meals The most important part about being a nanny/babysitter to me is making me feel like family to you, us coming together as one. Also understanding how your family works so I can make your life easier with a little help from me!

Mya H., Babysitter in West Lafayette, IN 47906 with 3 years of paid experience

I'm passionate about meeting kids where they are-physically, emotionally, and developmentally. Whether it's crouching down to their level or adjusting my approach to match their needs, I believe in communicating effectively and creating a positive connection. I've had the privilege of working with a wide range of ages and abilities, both as a YMCA summer camp counselor with large groups and through personal referrals, offering individualized care and supervision. I am especially passionate about nature-based play and enjoy helping kids explore and learn through outdoor activities. As a graduate student in Landscape Architecture with a B. S. in Brain & Behavioral Sciences, I bring a unique perspective to understanding how environments impact children's development. I strive to create nurturing, fun, and safe experiences that allow each child to grow and thrive in a supportive setting.
