Hello, I’m Erin! I’m a graduate of Purdue University and St. Elizabeth School of Nursing, and have been an RN for (almost!) 30 years. My background has been diverse but I’m especially passionate about adult/senior care, and those with special needs hold a very special place in my heart. If you're looking for someone to help, I would love to talk with you!! I'm happy to answer your questions and discuss my experience, background, and caregiving style. A few fun facts about me: My husband and I have three “kids” (dogs 🐾). I’m a huge fan of Mexican food, Boilermaker basketball and football, road trips, 70’s music, IndyCar racing (a nephew works in the pits!), true crime shows, country music concerts, and Mountain Dew Zero.

I love being a sitter as growing up I always helped at my church nursery and did camp counseling for a church camp a couple of years as well. I always have gotten along with kids even to younger kids when I was just a kid myself. I enjoy the kids they have so much joy and energy very wholesome to see in a not so wholesome world. I am a hard worker and have great communication skills and great problem solving skills. I am a senior in marine biology at Purdue University.

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!
