I have been working with kiddos for over 15 years and love doing so. I am currently an RBT and I work with kiddos that are on the autism spectrum, so I have experience working with kids that have disabilities or just need extra attention.

Hi! I’m Fatouma, a recent Purdue grad with a degree in Psychological Sciences and a lifelong love for working with children. I’ve been babysitting since I was 9, helping out with younger cousins, family friends, and neighbors. I started getting paid for sitting at 14 and haven’t stopped since! Over the years, I’ve cared for kids of all ages and personalities, and I truly enjoy building individual relationships with each child. What I love most about babysitting is being able to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can just be themselves. I know how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m patient, dependable, and always happy to step in and help however I can—whether it’s playtime, homework help, mealtime, or bedtime. In addition to my hands-on babysitting experience, I’ve also worked in a professional research setting at Purdue that focused on Pre-K quality and early childhood development throughout early childhood education centers in Indiana. This gave me insight into the developmental needs of young children and helped strengthen my skills in observation, communication, and age-appropriate engagement. I currently work for Purdue’s Human Research Protections Program and live in West Lafayette with my boyfriend and our two kittens. I'm comfortable with pets, flexible with scheduling, and always happy to follow any routines or special instructions you have in place for your little ones. Don’t hesitate to reach out so we can chat! My number 1 priority is ensuring comfort and best supporting families :)

Need a PT ninja grandma for your kids? Child Whisperer? Chaos Coordinator? I'd describe myself as confident, inventive, independent- a true Gen Xer... Will care for any age. I think they should ALL be nurtured and guided and respected for their uniqueness and abilities, not talked down to. I'm a homework helper and can help your kids be happy, successful, confident, and ready for their futures. I support critical thinking skills, assertiveness, and personal autonomy. Infants are awesome, too! I love being a grandma and mom- 4 each! I (and they) think I've done a pretty great job imho. I'd love to use that and have a continuing impact on others. I started working with kids when I was a big sister at 10, babysat by 14! CPR/First Aid certified! Purdue graduate in social psychology! Covid vaccinated! In my spare time, I like to read, binge watch TV, camp.

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!

Hi! I’m Olivia, a caring and responsible babysitter with a genuine love for working with kids of all ages and abilities. Throughout high school, I worked closely with special needs children, helping with daily tasks, learning activities, and social engagement — an experience that taught me patience, empathy, and how to adapt to every child’s unique needs. I’ve also tutored students in all levels of math, from elementary through high school, and love helping kids learn in a way that feels encouraging and fun. As my class valedictorian, I take pride in being dependable, organized, and dedicated — qualities I bring to every babysitting job. Parents can count on me for a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I enjoy keeping kids entertained with games, crafts, outdoor play, and reading, while also supporting their routines and learning goals. I’m happy to help with homework, meal prep, light cleaning, and pet care as needed. As a college student with flexible hours, I’m available for evenings, weekends, and daytime care. Above all, I truly enjoy caring for children and helping families feel confident knowing their little ones are in good hands. ❤️
