Find experienced child care providers in Portage, IN

Hello! I am a mom of three kids. They are 21, 16 and 7. I homeschool my youngest which allows flexibility in our schedule. I bring my daughter with me. I will not be homeschooling her while caring for your children though. Starting ,November 2. I am available Mondays and Tuesdays from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm. We live in Winfield/Lakes of the Four Seasons. I don't mind traveling a bit further depending on hours and pay. I can babysit in my home or yours if that’s what you prefer. I always bring our own food and drinks with us and anything else that we need. We spend a lot of time reading, dancing, singing, drawing, painting, cooking, baking, homework, walks, parks, spending time playing outdoors when it’s nice. I’m very comfortable with caring for any age. I am also comfortable with pets. I’m ok with driving the kids for drop off and pick up to school or activities depending on distance. I have my degree in early childhood education. Before becoming a mom I taught preschool and worked in daycare. I also worked in before and after school childcare at an elementary school and summer camps. I have volunteered for years in my own kids' school as well as briefly working there teaching reading. I volunteered at church in the kid's ministry as well as working in childcare in the church. I can provide references. Message me with any questions. Have A Blessed Day!!!

Hello my name is Jacaria, I have been babysitting since I was twelve, so a little over seven years now. I have experience babysitting all ages and backgrounds as well as experience with special needs. I also have experience with dietary restrictions and allergies. I am CPR certified and have experience with multiple children.

I've been a nanny for 6 years now. It's the best job I have ever had! I love kids and always wanted to open up my own day care center. That never happened so I'm doing the next best thing! I love playing games, reading books, singing songs and nursery rhymes. I like to play outside at the park or just go on a walk and explore. I hope that you consider me for the most important position in your home. Finding that perfect nanny is a stressful decision for you. I hope to meet with you and your family to see if we are that perfect fit! If you decide to go in a different direction, I wish you the best on your search. Sherri

My name is Julie. I've been a sitter in high school, college, and beyond. I'm comfortable with children of all ages and pets too! I love helping kids with homework after school and don't mind helping out around the house with meal prep, laundry, and dishes. I take a hands on approach to childcare, so your child will never be left in front of a tv or ipad. I encourage play at all stages and like to help children develop their imagination. I am fluent in American Sign Language (ASL) and can teach your child to sign (if you'd like). I've worked as a paraprofessional in Special Education and with children that have autism and other disorders as well. I am flexible and adapt well to change, whether immediate or planned. I have been a sitter long term and also just for date nights. I'm down to earth, practical, and approachable. If you're looking for a sitter, I would love to meet you and your family. Please message me today!

Hi! My name is Katie, and I have 5+ years of experience working with children of all ages. While I enjoy caring for children at every stage, my strongest experience is with infants through preschool age. I have worked with children in both childcare center settings and outside of the center, including children with special needs. My experience has taught me how to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where every child feels comfortable, supported, and cared for. Most recently, I worked as a lead teacher in a two-year-old classroom, where I gained hands-on experience with daily routines, potty training, diapering, meals, naps, activities, behavior management, and meeting each child’s individual needs. I am comfortable handling the challenges that come with toddlers and young children and can adapt to different routines and personalities. Whether your child needs help with potty training, following a schedule, managing big emotions, or simply having someone to play and learn with, I am happy to help!

I enjoy working with young children ages 3 to 5, but I have a wider experience level. I am fun, patient, and creative. I will treat your children as if they were mine. I know American sign language and am willing to work with children with special needs.

Hi, my name is Isis and I am looking to possibly be your child’s nanny. I live in the Gary Indiana area and am willing to travel up to 15 miles away.

I love teaching babies new things from words to silly faces, dances etc. I have formal experience working in a licensed daycare facility, mainly working with infants but also with 2-3s as well. I do drive, so I could do school pickups, store runs etc. I have a pretty flexible schedule so if that aligns with you, please feel free to reach out to me!
