Hi, I am looking for a family that needs the support of a babysitting service. I love be around kids, I like to teach, read, dance, and play. I like to eat healthy and teach about the importance to have a good balance. I am a Spanish speaker and I know a little bit of German too. If you have any questions or support you require from me, please contact me I will be happy to help you!

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 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.

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 a 40's something wife and mother of 3. I have a BA degree in psychology and over 15 years experience in life span development. I have spent much of my career working as a social worker but I prefer working directly with the people I serve. I have, since 2014, devoted my energy exclusively toward direct care of persons with disabilities and children. I have a strong work ethic and I am not afraid of long days. I look forward to speaking with you about your specific needs and your view of the future for your child. I have a great respect for the small amount of time we have to mold young minds. The 0-3 age span is an intense time of physical, mental and emotional growth. How we interact with children at this age has great implications for their future ability to cope and manage their daily life. Ages 3-6 are actively growing their vocabulary from their conversations with those around them. They are building context for their future learning and effective commuication. I have a strong work ethic, I am not afraid of long days and I am fond of starting and ending those days with a smile and a good attitude. I am a mom so I understand the demands our culture and society places on families. I have come home to messes and more work. I believe a good nanny picks up where you left off and continues to reinforce the household routine. Child rearing is a team sport. I look forward to speaking with you about your specific needs and your view of the future for your child.

Hello, all! I am a recent Bethel University grad who majored in English and Special education. I am licensed 5th-12th in both areas. Currently, I work at Grissom Middle School as a resource teacher and have loved getting to know this new and exciting position. I babysit regularly as a date night/special events sitter and work with several families in the area. As I anticipate working my first full year as a teacher, I am looking to continue babysitting evenings and weekends. I enjoy reading, board games, singing, creativity, the outdoors, and yummy food. If you think I could be a match for you and your family’s needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d love to introduce myself! Sincerely, Halee (260) 336-8921

Hi my name is Lily! I am training to be a fire fighter. I have worked with kids before as a camp counselor, and a soccer coach. Right now I just got my EMT (emergency medical technician) certification and soon I will be state certified. I am the youngest out of eight and all of them have kids, except for myself and another sibling. Each of them have anywhere from 1 to 4 kids, the youngest being seven months old, and the oldest being 28. I’m used to being around kids because of this and my previous jobs. I have tons of energy and I’m always happy to help! I can’t wait to meet you!
