Martha P., Child Care in Elkhart, IN 46514 with 15 years of paid experience

Ні, Former substitute teacher in the PHM District and South Bend Community Schools. Former middle school science teacher and two year full-time caregiver. I'm looking for ways to supplement my income. Occasional sitting has worked well for me and allows the flexibility I need in order to help with my out-of-town grandchildren and support my four adult children. I've passed multiple background checks as well as CPS history checks in order to work in the schools. CPR and standard first aid certified. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss caring for your loved ones to see if we’re a good fit. Please reach out to me if you are interested or have any additional questions. Fully Vaccinated including RSV and Covid, including boosters. Extremely reliable, conscientious, and punctual. Regards, Martha

Kaelyne A., Child Care in Elkhart, IN 46514 with 6 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because it gives me the opportunity to build meaningful connections with kids while helping families feel confident and supported. I enjoy creating fun, safe, and engaging environments where children can learn, laugh, and feel cared for. I have extensive experience working with kids of all ages, from infants to pre-teens, and I adapt easily to different personalities and routines. Over the years, I’ve developed strong skills in communication, patience, and problem-solving, which help me handle anything from daily care to unexpected challenges. I’m certified in CPR and first aid, and I also know how to swim, which gives families peace of mind during outdoor or water activities. Whether I’m helping with homework, playing games, or sticking to bedtime routines, I always make it a priority to be reliable, caring, and attentive. Babysitting truly brings me joy, and I take pride in being someone families can count on.

I am like a grown-up child when it comes to having fun and having a personality, I think that kids should feel comfortable and have fun with the rules that apply at still in effect. I am very friendly outgoing person, and I’ve always had a snitch for kids they’ve always been attached to me. I’ve been babysitting ever ever since I’ve was 15 on and off.

Kelli K., Child Care in Elkhart, IN 46514 with 17 years of paid experience

Greetings families! I am an experienced babysitter who would love to become a part of your family! I have been babysitting for more than 10 years and have experience with children of all ages (newborn and older), special needs children, and multiples. I have worked with many great families (most who have unfortunately outgrown the need for a sitter)!   Your children's safety is my number one priority. I enjoy spending quality time with the children I babysit; I am patient, kind, and understanding. We will play games, sing songs, use our imagination, and do arts and crafts. I am willing to take the kids on outings, if that is something you're comfortable allowing. I can also help with educational activities, homework. and tutoring. I am able help out around the house as needed (i.e., cooking, laundry, dishes, etc.). I have a full-time job, but am available evenings and weekends. I'm the perfect fit for a family looking for an occasional sitter, who their children can grow to know and enjoy spending time with when mom and dad can't be there. I have had CPR and First Aid training, am an excellent swimmer, and have a clean driving record. You will find I'm extremely reliable and dependable. I'm willing to complete a background check and can provide references. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have and look forward to hearing from you soon! Thank you for taking the time to review my profile!

Michelle F., Child Care in Elkhart, IN 46514 with 2 years of paid experience

I am a nurturing caregiver with over 2 years of childcare experience, a background in Early Child Development, and a degree in psychology. I currently work at a daycare and am CPR/First Aid certified. I am comfortable caring for multiple children and providing a safe, engaging environment with play-based and educational activities. I’m happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, and comfortable with animals! I’m expecting a baby in February and seeking a position that allows me to bring my infant along. I wouldn't be able to start until May due to recovery from my own delivery, but if you're at all flexible with the starting date, I would love the opportunity! Our kiddos could socialize and learn together too if that's something you'd like!
