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!

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 :)
