Hi! My name is Payton and I am a 20 year old who is about to graduate with my BSW. I have worked with children professionally for the past two to three years and personally I am one of the oldest out of 7 siblings (including me). My most recent experience was working at a daycare for a year where I was a support staff for the infants from they were 2 months old to a year and a couple of months. I loved it there and I have references from the teacher I worked with! Plus some other references I’m happy to give!

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment. Every child is unique, and I find it really rewarding to connect with them and make their day a little brighter. As a psychology major hoping to work with children in the future, babysitting gives me a chance to gain hands-on experience and build meaningful relationships with kids and families. I’ve been paid to take care of my nephew for several years, which has given me a lot of real-world experience with everything from daily routines to creative play and helping with schoolwork. I’ve also spent a lot of time caring for my younger brother, often being responsible for meals, homework help, and bedtime routines. Through these experiences, I’ve learned how to be patient, dependable, and adaptable in different situations. I’m great at communicating with kids at their level and creating a calm, engaging environment. I’m also organized, responsible, and attentive. These are skills that help me ensure children are both safe and happy.

I am currently a senior at Indiana University studying Psychology and business. Starting in January, I will be a part time student and I am looking to help out a family with childcare needs throughout the following semester. Growing up with 6 older siblings and 7 nieces and nephews, I have spent my whole life around kids, action, and chaos (which I love). Every summer, I nanny and babysit regularly for family and friends. I worked for 5 years as a camp counselor, taking care of girls aging from 7 to 12 and leading activities, crafts, sports, and outdoor projects. I am patient, fun-loving, kind, and work well with children of any age or personality. I am CPR + First Aid certified and feel ready and prepared to creative a safe yet fun and engaging environment for kids. I feel more than comfortable driving, cooking, helping with homework, or anything else that you or your children may need!

Hello! My name is Madalynn Johnstone, and I’m originally from Rialto, California, but I grew up in the beautiful Brown County area of Nashville, Indiana. Along with my four and a half years of experience working in a small café where I specialized in preparing healthy, wholesome meals, I also have experience as a babysitter. I cared for my neighbor’s two sweet kids—a little boy and girl—along with their dog, and I often brought my younger sister along since she enjoyed spending time with them. Their mother, a town counselor, trusted me enough to recommend me for other babysitting jobs. I take pride in being dependable, patient, and attentive, and I love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children.

Back home, I work as an Administrator at a Camp and Youth Center, where I help coordinate over 200 campers and 50 counselors each day throughout our eight-week summer program and vacation camps. I have experience planning and leading engaging programs for children of all ages, and I absolutely love working with kids - whether it’s through arts and crafts, baking, or sensory play. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, my certification recently expired in September, but I’m more than willing to renew it. Outside of work and school, I enjoy cooking, baking, and organizing. I’m currently looking for a position where I can support your family through childcare, meal preparation, homework help, and household tasks.
