Ні, I'm a substitute teacher in the PHM District and previously in 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 four 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. In July 2023 l (renewed) completed and passed the CPR and standard first aid course. 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 (Covid), including booster. Extremely reliable, conscientious, and punctual. Regards, Martha

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.

As a certified teacher, I have a great deal of experience with children. I have taught kindergarten and first grades in public school and have also cared for a 2-year-old in my home. We have four children of our own, two who are married and two still at home. I have a clean home that is kid-friendly and equipped with lots of children's books, learning games, and art supplies. I also am willing to come to your home, if this is more convenient. It would be a priority for me to instill in your child a love for learning and the knowledge that he/she is loved and important.

Hi there! I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Occupational Therapy (MSOT) with a focus on working with children with developmental challenges. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and Psychology, and I’ve been passionate about child care since I started babysitting at age 14. With over 7 years of experience caring for infants through toddlers, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with several families for extended periods - building strong relationships and meaningful memories along the way. I’m skilled in diaper changes, meal prep, and planning fun, developmentally appropriate activities. I’m also certified in Adult and Child CPR & First Aid, ensuring your child’s safety is always a priority. I bring energy, creativity, and genuine care to every family I work with, and I’d be thrilled to support yours!
