My name is Holly and I offer babysitting in my home 7 days a week for children aged 7 months to 3 years old. I’ve been babysitting for 8 years and I’ve worked through care.com for over a year now, but I would love to be able to care for a small group (only 2-3 children at a time) in my home. My heart goes out to parents with busy schedules and limited babysitting budgets. By watching a small number of children in my home, I’m able to offer you lower rates and more extensive hours to fit your needs while still providing your child with minimally divided attention. Although I do not have an advanced degree in child development, I am a researcher by nature and I read a lot to stay up to date on teaching techniques for young children. This does not make me a developmental expert Read more in any way, but it does mean that I will be interacting with your child and engaging him/her in educational activities. At our first interview/meeting, I will provide you with a packet that includes a list of educational activities that I do with children your child’s age, my resume and references as well as a general daily schedule. Between 6am and 8pm Monday-Friday, I offer care at just $7.50/hr. Outside of those times, there is an added charge. Some of the things that I love to do with kids include playing outside, reading, baking, singing and dancing, making silly faces, coloring, other arts and crafts, playing imaginative games and going on field trips. The Tippecanoe County Public Library offers story time during the week, which is great for young kids. I’m also a big fan of the petting zoo at Columbian Park. Of course during the winter we’ll probably be doing less outings. I live in West Lafayette in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment (about 1,100 sqft). I will not have more than 3 children under my care at any given time, so you can be sure that your child will not be lost in the crowd. I provide healthy meals and snacks, toys, activities, and cots/playards for napping. There is quite a bit of information here, but if there is one thing that I would want you to take from my profile, it's that I am completely dedicated to the safety and happiness of the children in my care. I would never make a decision that I felt could negatively impact your child in any way. All of this being said, I hope to hear from you soon and I look forward to meeting with you! Best wishes, Holly

Trust & safety
