I am currently enrolled at Ball State University, majoring in Elementary Education! Working with children is not just a job for me, it’s something I am truly passionate about. I love creating a fun, safe, and encouraging environment where children feel seen, loved, and cared for. As a Christian, my faith plays a big role in how I care for others, and I strive to show patience, kindness, and compassion in every family I work with. I am a Safe Sitter certified sitter with 6 years of experience. I have a reliable form of transportation that has 4 extra seats, including the passenger seat. I am patient and love to build meaningful connections with children to be a part of their support team and a safe place. Feel free to reach out for references or to set up a call!

Hello, my name is Jennifer. I am an experienced nanny, household manager, and tutor with a degree in Early Childhood Education from Indiana University. I have many years of experience supporting busy families by creating organized, calm, and nurturing home environments where children can thrive. I especially enjoy working with school-aged children and supporting their academic growth through homework help, reading development, and structured routines. Because I am dyslexic myself, I understand how children learn differently and often incorporate multi-sensory strategies inspired by the Orton-Gillingham approach. In addition to childcare, I am very comfortable assisting with household management, including scheduling, organizing, errands, and meal preparation. I am currently seeking a long-term position with approximately 30 guaranteed hours per week at a rate around $30/hour, with a family who values professionalism, communication, and a positive home environment.

Jennifer was awesome! The kids loved her, and she was very good with keeping our complex situation under control. Jennifer was also very accommodating and well organized. She was much more than just a sitter and spent hours with my kids teaching them how to swim.

Hi all! I am a recent graduate from Marian University with my Bachelor’s in Elementary Education, a full-time teacher, and have been professionally babysitting for going on 8 years. I love kids and watching them learn new things as they explore this world, and fun play and learning are what your kids will do with me as their babysitter (or kid-sitter as I've been called before haha). I love to laugh, smile, play my flute, sing, and dance, so I will be sure to keep a smile on your kid's face! I won't disappoint when you choose me to take care of your child(ren)! I am CPR/First Aid Certified, receive my flu shot every year, fully COVID vaccinated since April 2021 (and boosted!), and am SafeSitter Verified. Looking forward to speaking with you! I am only available for evening and weekend jobs.

Mykah was amazing! She was super flexible, friendly, and our 4 year old son LOVED her! She responded quickly and followed through on interview and meet and greet requests. We came from out of town, so she was able to take our son out to enjoy some of the local sights during our vacation. We highly recommend Mykah and would keep using her regularly if we were local to Indy!

I am currently transitioning from a 60 hr/week corporate job to a better work/life balance, so that I can spend more time with my elderly parent. I have worked for Grace Church daycare, and I helped my sister to raise her 2 young children when she divorced. I have a calm and comforting demeanor, and I enjoy 1:1 engagement with children of all ages, but I prefer ages 2+. I believe in providing timely updates to parents, and I always do a pre-interview meeting with the children. I am mainly interested in one-time jobs, but I am open to recurring jobs if they will work into my personal schedule with my parent. Please contact me if you feel I may be a fit for your needs!
