Hello there! I plan on majoring in elementary education because I love children! I have such a fabulous bond with them and I am very understanding of any extra needs they might have if I were to babysit! I love being active so I am willing to go on walks, kick a ball around, or even play basketball! Don't worry if your house has pets! I also grew up with dogs so I am very willing to play with them/ watch them during my time! While you are out I am also willing to help out around the house! I can wash your dishes or even do the laundry for you! I also have experience in health care with the elderly. I am CPR and First Aid certified.

My name is Sarah! I have always been passionate about teaching and working with children. I currently work at a daycare/preschool and have been there for over a year now. I work with the infants specifically, but I also have a lot of experience with children ages 1-4. I enjoy my career path so much that I spend my time outside of work babysitting! I'm a junior at Indiana University South Bend, majoring in elementary and early childhood education. Because of this, I've spent time observing various elementary school classrooms nearby and I can also help with homework. I'm warm-hearted, responsible, and patient with children of all ages. I love to interact with kids by playing games, coloring, watching movies, doing crafts, or whatever else they enjoy doing! I can prepare meals and help with clean-up. I've also been trained in CPR, first aid, safe sleep practices, and universal precautions.

Hello! I am Rachel! :) I am a very fun, and happy person! Including being a momma myself, I have been in childcare for 7 years! I am also currently a home cleaner looking for a small part time job. Within 7 years I have been a nanny to a child with special needs. I have also worked for 3 different daycares. The most recent daycare I was an older infant teacher (Ranging from 6 mo, to 1 year). I also have experience in working with children in therapy sessions, if ever needed. I'd describe my personality as happy, caring, and energetic! I like working with kids because I love helping them learn, and grow! I also love seeing their little personalities come through! I started professionally working with kids when I was right out of high school! Although, I have been working with children through church at a younger age!

Hello! I'm sadly ending my time with my current family 3/2025. (Going to a pre-school) I'm seeking either a full-time family or several part-time. I have 39+ years of experience. Nannying, Childcare facilities & more. I help w/every family need. I grew up helping 9 younger siblings & 10 years experience as a foster parent along w/children of my own. I have vast experience at handling challenging children. I am known for working beyond my job requirement including travel, cooking/meal preparation (I owned and operated my own restaurant for over 18 years). I am constantly teaching the children I am involved with in every aspect of their daily life. I am a firm believer that structure and consistency keep children happy and feeling safe. I enjoy providing an environment that makes children feel loved & secure while also teaching values needed for them to be productive in life while also having fun. I pride myself in making everything a teachable moment while I spend quality hands on time

Growing up, I would always take care of my brothers while my mother was at work. I would also help my grandmother babysit our neighbors kids who we got very close to. I am CPR verified. I love to babysit because i find joy in their laughter and the companionship during downtime watching movies. If their hungry I can prepare a little meal for them.

Hello, my name is Shannon and I am seeking a stable, full-time position with a family in Valparaiso, Portage, or Chesterton who values consistency, structure, and high-quality care. With experience caring for children from newborn through early school age — along with raising my own son, now 22 and serving in the military in a top-ranking role — I understand the importance of discipline, encouragement, and developmental support in a child’s growth. I offer calm, attentive care, structured routines, educational engagement, light meal preparation, and organization related to the children. I am dependable, communicative, and committed to building a long-term relationship with the right family. I am willing to obtain CPR/First Aid certification promptly to meet family safety preferences.

I really enjoy working with children and supporting their growth and development. I love creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment where kids feel cared for and supported. I value gentle, attentive caregiving that supports emotional regulation and development. I have experience babysitting toddlers as well as caring for school-age children (5–8 years old), and I am also a mother to a toddler, which has given me hands-on daily experience with infant and early childhood care, routines, and emotional needs. Some of my skills include childcare routines, maintaining structure, preparing meals and snacks, baking (including sourdough), and homemaking skills such as keeping spaces organized and clean. I also enjoy planning simple, creative activities that support learning and play. I am currently more than halfway through two parenting courses, which continue to strengthen my understanding of child development and positive caregiving approaches.
