Hello! My name is Kaylynn and I’m 31 years old and I work in early learning at Christ United Methodist Church. I am an assistant teacher and work in all of the rooms (ages 6 weeks to 5 years old). I have babysat since I was 12 years old and it is now my job to take care of children. I have my CDA which is a child development associate. I really love doing crafts, science, and baking with the children in my care.

Hi! I'm Bella (Isabella), and I am 20 years old and a junior at Purdue. I have been a babysitter for several families for 6 years. I have mostly worked very closely with one family where I took the kids to and from school most days, did after-school activities, took the kids to playdates, and did bedtime and wake-up. I have worked with ages 3 months to 12 years old, but mostly have worked with 3 months to 7. I have lots of experience with multiple children at once, as I have mostly babysat for families with 3 or more children. I can cook healthy, simple, kid-friendly meals, and I can do laundry, and overall, I am very neat. I have taken and passed the Red Cross Lifeguard certification, which includes CPR on both infants, children, and adults and basic first aid. I love taking care of kids and always have the best time playing with them, and have no problem running around the playground with them!

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! 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 :)
