Hi! My name is Abby and I am a current Purdue student studying Elementary Education. I am looking for more experience with children as well as a part time job around my classes.

Hi! I'm Bella (Isabella), and I am 20 years old and a junior at Purdue. I have been a babysitter for several families for 6 years. I have mostly worked very closely with one family where I took the kids to and from school most days, did after-school activities, took the kids to playdates, and did bedtime and wake-up. I have worked with ages 3 months to 12 years old, but mostly have worked with 3 months to 7. I have lots of experience with multiple children at once, as I have mostly babysat for families with 3 or more children. I can cook healthy, simple, kid-friendly meals, and I can do laundry, and overall, I am very neat. I have taken and passed the Red Cross Lifeguard certification, which includes CPR on both infants, children, and adults and basic first aid. I love taking care of kids and always have the best time playing with them, and have no problem running around the playground with them!

Hello! My name is Mallory Moore. Some things to know about me is that I grew up the middle child in a huge family full of little ones. So by nature, I turned into the trusty baby sitter! Growing up I've always wanted more then anything to be in child care, whatever that tittle may be. During Covid while I was in school, I also had to home school my two elementary school aged cousins, prepare meals and make sure they were taken care of and comfortable. All while staying onto of my duties and school work. That was just the start for me and I have taken care of several children from the ages newborn to middle school since. In high school I took all the classes I could on child development so that I could have another foot in the door for gaining more knowledge in this field. So for me it would not just be "another job". I love what I do and making positive impacts on children lives is what drives me to this day!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I enjoy working with kids and helping them learn and grow. It’s rewarding to build connections with them, encourage their creativity, and support their development in a safe and fun environment. Every day is different, and I love seeing their personalities shine. What experience do you have? I have experience working at a daycare, where I cared for multiple children of different ages, lesson planned activities, and ensured a safe and nurturing environment. I’ve also babysat twins, which gave me hands-on experience managing the needs of multiple children at once, from feeding and bedtime routines to engaging them in fun and educational activities. What skills and training do you have? Through my daycare experience and babysitting, I’ve developed strong skills in child care, patience, multitasking, and problem-solving. I’m experienced in managing routines, handling conflicts, and keeping kids engaged. I am cpr and first aid certified as well!

I’ve always had a natural love for working with children because every day with them is full of energy, curiosity, and creativity. Babysitting gives me the chance to be a positive role model while also joining in on their fun—whether that’s playing games, helping with homework, or simply listening to their stories. I enjoy creating a safe, caring, and encouraging environment where kids can feel comfortable and happy. I love watching children grow and learn, knowing I can be part of those little moments that make a big difference—like helping them master a new skill or making them laugh after a long day. Babysitting isn’t just a job for me—it’s a passion, because caring for kids allows me to combine responsibility, patience, and kindness with my own playful side.

Hi! I’m Fatouma, a recent Purdue grad with a degree in Psychological Sciences and a lifelong love for working with children. I’ve been babysitting since I was 9, helping out with younger cousins, family friends, and neighbors. I started getting paid for sitting at 14 and haven’t stopped since! Over the years, I’ve cared for kids of all ages and personalities, and I truly enjoy building individual relationships with each child. What I love most about babysitting is being able to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can just be themselves. I know how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m patient, dependable, and always happy to step in and help however I can—whether it’s playtime, homework help, mealtime, or bedtime. In addition to my hands-on babysitting experience, I’ve also worked in a professional research setting at Purdue that focused on Pre-K quality and early childhood development throughout early childhood education centers in Indiana. This gave me insight into the developmental needs of young children and helped strengthen my skills in observation, communication, and age-appropriate engagement. I currently work for Purdue’s Human Research Protections Program and live in West Lafayette with my boyfriend and our two kittens. I'm comfortable with pets, flexible with scheduling, and always happy to follow any routines or special instructions you have in place for your little ones. Don’t hesitate to reach out so we can chat! My number 1 priority is ensuring comfort and best supporting families :)
