I love being around children it’s always fun and interesting they have such curious personalities and crazy imaginations They’re always fun I’ve grown up babysitting that was my first ever job I also would watch my two little brothers who are now 7 and 9 and other kids in my family. I am a Certified Nursing Assistant I have experience In first Aide And I am CPR Certified.

I am a recent graduate of the Master's in Public Affairs program at IU. I am looking to work more hours than my current job offers. Since I missed working with kids while completing my Master's, I thought this would be a good opportunity to start babysitting again. I began babysitting at the age of 13, and worked as a sitter through college. I was a nanny for four summers and I've been a long term babysitter for eight families. I have babysat all ages, including infants to teenagers. I have been certified in first-aid and lifeguarding. I take the responsibilities of working with kids very seriously, but I love to engage kids in active, educational, and creative games. As a camp counselor I learned to work with all types of children. I genuinely appreciate the unique qualities of each kid, and learning what helps them to be their best. I personally enjoy gardening, cooking, and doing ceramics in my free time, so as a babysitter I typically bring supplies to play outside, do arts and crafts, and bake. I have babysat children with behavioral problems, which has enhanced my patience even more. I understand the separation anxiety many kids can have when parents are away. My hope as a babysitter is to make the time I spend with them enjoyable, and feel more like a playdate than having a babysitter.

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children and helping create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they can learn and grow. It’s rewarding to build strong, trusting relationships with both kids and their families, and to be someone parents can rely on. I enjoy engaging children in creative activities, outdoor play, and helping with things like homework or daily routines. I have experience caring for children of various ages through babysitting, daycare and, assisting family members, which has helped me become patient, adaptable, and attentive to different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable handling responsibilities like meal preparation, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained in a positive and structured way. I bring strong communication skills, reliability, and a calm, caring attitude to every job. I always prioritize safety and strive to create a warm, respectful environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident in my care.

Hi there! My name is Nicki, and I'm 25 years old. I graduated IU in 2019 with a bachelor's in Elementary Education and I have experience in Early Childhood education/care. At an Early Learning Center, I would be in charge of 10+ toddlers, so I am used to watching over multiple children. I have experience in changing diapers, feeding toddlers and infants, CPR/First Aid, nap times / safe sleep, and entertaining/educating children. I also grew up with animals, so I am comfortable around pets of any kind. I specifically have experience with cats and dogs. However, I did want to mention that I will only be able to help out until the end of December, as my healthcare classes will be starting back up. It is still about 5 months away, but I wanted to let you know as soon as possible!

Kids are quite literally my day job and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I currently work with toddlers at Campus View Child Care Center on the IU campus and have experience caring for children from infancy through elementary age. I’m also a part-time student in the IU School of Education, where I’m working toward my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. I’m CPR & First Aid certified, ILEAD qualified, and have completed required trainings through Indiana Learning Paths/FSSA. I also know some basic ASL and love incorporating play, creativity, and learning into my time with children! I’m available Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays after 6 PM, plus all day Saturday and Sunday. I’d love to be your go-to sitter for date nights, weekend plans, or an extra helping hand!

I’m Hannah. I am a patient, dependable, and supportive nanny and sitter. I value creating a fun and engaging environment where children feel both safe and excited to learn and experience new things. I have experience with children in a wide range of ages, ranging from 6 months to 16 years old. In addition, all children under my care have held a wide range of personalities and needs. I have strong knowledge and experience with children with learning differences, with primary experience being autism. I strongly value building rapport with children and offering an environment primarily focused around play based learning. My approach includes maintaining routines, outside time, play where I am specifically engaging with the kids while also recognizing the importance of independent play, planning age appropriate activities, and help with school related things.
