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

Martha is FABULOUS. She watched our two children when they were under 1 and 2.5-3. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. She took excellent care of the children and I could trust her completely. Our oldest still speaks of her fondly. She never turned on the TV and always engaged with the children. Reliable and responsible.

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.

Taryn is amazing! She worked with us every step of figuring out how to bring a nanny into our home. So sweet, understanding, flexible, and of course, great with our little girl. Especially kind to first time mom who works from home.

I love children, reading to them, doing crafts, and outdoor activities. I have 4 children of my own. One is married, one just finished college, and two are in college. I have a German Shepard and a parrot. I work as a substitute, do pet-sitting, and clean 5 houses. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or requests! Thanks for looking at my application! I’m not sure if this would work out for me . Depends on when I’d need to pick up kids at school. I teach in Elkhart until about 2:05. I am not busy in the summer also if you need a hand. Thanks!
