Sittercity helps West Lafayette families find the best child care providers

Hi I’m Victoria! I am a 2024 Purdue Graduate and have a bachelors degree in Developmental and Family Science. I am currently working as an Early Childhood Educator teaching 4-5 year olds in kindergarten-prep at Bright Horizons. I am excited to get some extra babysitting time with kiddos on the weekends!

I have been a sitter since I was in middle school. I have experience with babies - teenagers. I just recently graduated college with a bachelors of science in psychology and Bachelor of Arts in law & society. I absolutely adore kids and am willing to drive them places, help with homework, cook, clean, etc. I’m trying to save up some money to apply to law school in the future :)

I would like to be a sitter because I have really been enjoying the downtime we have during class to play games and to just hang out with the kids. I am a certified teacher and taught a second/third grade classroom for six years. I taught 4th grade for one year and I currently teach computer coding classes in Santa Maria part-time in the afternoons four days a week. I have a Bachelors of Arts in Elementary Education with a minor in English and I graduated with honors.

I genuinely enjoy babysitting because I care deeply about children and love being a positive part of their lives. Over the years, I’ve gained a wide range of experience caring for kids of all ages, from infants to elementary school children. Whether it’s soothing a baby, helping with homework, or organizing fun activities, I approach each task with patience, responsibility, and enthusiasm. I’ve even managed groups as large as four children at once, always ensuring their safety, happiness, and well-being. Babysitting is more than just a job to me—it’s something I’m truly passionate about.

Hello! My name is Paityn Drake. I just finished my freshman year at Purdue University studying Health and Human Sciences. I plan to use my degree to work with children in the future! I have 7 + years of experience as a babysitter. I currently work as a lash and spray tan artist, but my schedule is very flexible and I could be available for times throughout the week and nights and weekends. I’m CPR + First Aid certified and have extensive experience with children of all ages, particularly young children and toddlers. I’m skilled in prepping meals, diaper changes, sleep strategies, and I have my own car. I’m patient and enjoy building connections with kids. I am comfortable with all types of personalities. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a time for you and the children to meet me!

Hi! My name is Chloe, I am going to be a sophomore at Purdue University and I'm studying Elementary Education. I have been babysitting, working with children in classrooms, and leading children Sunday school since I was in 8th grade. I absolutely love helping out with kids because I love being able to watch them thrive and grow. I have had multiple opportunities throughout the years to babysit for varying aged children in my community, and I have work in classrooms ages K-5! I also worked in a daycare every morning of my senior year, taking care of infants and toddlers! I absolutely love this because children this young are constantly changing and they are so fun. As for some of my skills, I am very flexible and patient. I find it super important to cater to children's needs and do whatever is best for their specific needs. Since I have worked with multiple different ages of children, I definitely understand the significance of caring for children and making sure they feel welcome and comfortable!

Hi there! My name is Christina and I’m a dedicated and energetic caregiver with 3 years of hands-on experience working with children from newborns to teenagers (up to 16 years old). I truly believe that every child deserves a safe, fun, and nurturing environment to learn and grow—and I’m here to provide exactly that. Whether we’re building pillow forts, exploring nature, helping with homework, or winding down with story time, I strive to make every moment engaging and meaningful. Parents can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and committed to keeping their children safe while making sure they’re having fun.

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 am a nurse by profession and I have BLS and PALS certification. I have been an Aupair (live in babysitter) for 2 years and I took care of children ages 3 months-2 years old. I am a well organized person and I make sure to provide a safe environment as well as to build a trusting relationship with children to support their development. I strive to provide a warm, fun and nurturing environment in all babysitting assignments. My goal is for parents to experience worry-free time away from home knowing that their children are in competent hands.

I am a former daycare employee and have a lot of experience with children! I graduated in December from Purdue University with a degree in Brain and Behavioral Sciences. I currently work in research in early childhood education. I love singing and dancing. I would love to help your home and be a great role model for your children!
