Find experienced child care providers in Chesterton, IN

Hello! My name is Lauren, and I am a warm, energetic, compassionate, and dedicated caregiver with a genuine passion for helping children learn, grow, and thrive. I graduated from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles with a bachelor’s degree in Health and Human Sciences and a minor in Dance and Liberal Arts. I am also pursuing graduate studies in Occupational Therapy. Professionally, I have worked as both a Specialized Paraprofessional and a Behavioral Therapist specializing in working with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Through these roles, I have gained valuable experience supporting children with diverse developmental, behavioral, emotional, and educational needs. My work has strengthened my ability to provide individualized care, encourage positive behaviors, support communication and social development, and create structured, nurturing environments where children feel safe, understood, and empowered. I am deeply committed to protecting each child’s physical and emotional well-being, recognizing their unique strengths, affirming their abilities, and promoting dignity, independence, and confidence in every interaction. I have extensive babysitting and nannying experience with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers, including children with special needs. Outside of childcare, dance has been a lifelong passion of mine since the age of three. My background as a professional dancer has taught me creativity, discipline, dedication, patience, and perseverance—qualities I love incorporating into my work with children through movement, play, and creative expression. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, patient, enthusiastic, and adaptable. Whether assisting with daily routines, encouraging developmental milestones, providing behavioral and emotional support, or creating fun and meaningful learning experiences, I strive to make every child feel supported, celebrated, and capable. Above all, I believe caring for children is more than a responsibility—it is a privilege. Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, respected, and encouraged to embrace what makes them unique. My goal is not simply to provide exceptional childcare, but to build meaningful, trusting relationships with both children and their families. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience, enthusiasm, and genuine love for children into your home and become a positive, dependable part of your family’s life!

I've been baby-sitter for many years and have had the pleasure of being welcomed into many homes and partner with many families. My love for kids, teaching and care giving began in church where I served as a Sunday School Teacher as well as a Youth Minister. Since entering the workforce, where I worked as an After School/Summer Camp Counselor and Assistant Teacher, I've found my passion by helping families nurture and raise their little ones.

I am a nursing student looking for a fulfilling role this summer! I have experience as a nanny, summer camp counselor, and healthcare worker in the public school system. I have worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I am CPR and First Aid certified with clinical experience as well. I also have extensive experience working with children with special needs. Growing up with a sibling who has special needs and volunteering as a caregiver with Special Olympics has given me valuable experience providing compassionate, individualized care. Working with children is incredibly rewarding to me. I love getting to know each child's unique personality, supporting their growth and development, and creating engaging activities that encourage learning and outdoor play. Outside of work, I enjoy flying and earned my pilot's license two years ago. I have my own reliable transportation and a flexible schedule. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, I would be happy to provide references or schedule a call. I look forward to connecting with you!

Hi! My name is Katie, and I have 5+ years of experience working with children of all ages. While I enjoy caring for children at every stage, my strongest experience is with infants through preschool age. I have worked with children in both childcare center settings and outside of the center, including children with special needs. My experience has taught me how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where every child feels comfortable, supported, and cared for. Most recently, I worked as a lead teacher in a two-year-old classroom, where I gained hands-on experience with daily routines, potty training, diapering, meals, naps, activities, behavior management, and meeting each child’s individual needs. I am comfortable handling the challenges that come with toddlers and young children and can adapt to different routines and personalities. Whether your child needs help with potty training, following a schedule, managing big emotions, or simply having someone to play and learn with, I am happy to help!

I enjoy working with young children ages 3 to 5, but I have a wider experience level. I am fun, patient, and creative. I will treat your children as if they were mine. I know American sign language and am willing to work with children with special needs.
