Mary B., Child Care in Galien, MI 49113 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Mary, and I am a 31 year old St. Louis native and current South Bend resident seeking to establish a few steady relationships with local families for occasional, as-needed babysitting opportunities. I adore taking care of and interacting with kids, so for me, babysitting is as much a job as it is an incredibly personally enriching opportunity. A little about me: I have a BA degree in English and Russian Studies from Saint Louis University, and I currently run my own freelance writing business, am working on getting into grad school at Notre Dame to pursue an MFA, and am writing a novel! Language, learning, books, writing, and people are some of my primary loves, so, in these babysitting opportunities, I am seeking to expand both my work and personal experience by applying my "loves" in a practical manner--for example, by reading to your children, or by helping them with some of their language arts homework. Some of my long-term goals involve exploring English/ESL tutoring, pursuing various language certifications (such as the TESOL/TEFL), and doing creative writing professionally, so I believe these babysitting prospects have the great potential to be a mutually beneficial connection for the both of us. That being said, I'm not just about school and homework! I love playing games with kids and seeing how their imaginations expand just by having fun. I believe in engaging kids' creativity in a variety of ways (especially beyond the gadgets world!)--for example, with story games, board games, outdoor games, coloring, and, frankly, anything we can dream up on the fly! I'm as comfortable playing princesses as I am super heroes, and I'm at ease around kids of all ages (I'm the oldest of six kids, so to say I'm used to working with different creative styles is at best an understatement. :)). I have experience taking care of everyone from infants to teenagers, so I'm just as composed changing a diaper as I am bonding with a 7th grader about the pressures of middle school. That diversity of encounter is a huge part of why I love working with kids. Lastly, I've been babysitting in varying degrees since I was 12 years old, and my greatest joy is getting to know the families I've worked for. Happy to provide references if needed! God bless, and I look forward to working with you and your family! Please note: for rates, I am completely willing to work within your budget and individual circumstances, as long as I am compensated fairly.

Loved Mary! We were looking for a babysitter for an evening out, as out-of-towners coming into St. Louis for a weekend. This was our first time ever leaving our infant with a non-family member, so I was more than a little apprehensive about the experience! Mary really stood out from the other applicants in part because she took the time to write a personal message to me (not just C&P her profile), responding to the specifics of my ad. Besides several messages back-and-forth, we also had a lovely phone conversation ahead of our arrival in town, so that I could feel more at ease. She also sent me regular texts (as offered/requested) throughout the evening, letting me know how it was going. I appreciated all of the communication; it made me feel much more at ease, and let me enjoy my rare evening out with my husband! I wish that she lived local to us, so that I could hire her as our regular sitter. Such a great experience!

Hello there! I plan on majoring in elementary education because I love children! I have such a fabulous bond with them and I am very understanding of any extra needs they might have if I were to babysit! I love being active so I am willing to go on walks, kick a ball around, or even play basketball! Don't worry if your house has pets! I also grew up with dogs so I am very willing to play with them/ watch them during my time! While you are out I am also willing to help out around the house! I can wash your dishes or even do the laundry for you! I also have experience in health care with the elderly. I am CPR and First Aid certified.

Courtney B., Child Care in Galien, MI 49113 with 39 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm sadly ending my time with my current family 3/2025. (Going to a pre-school) I'm seeking either a full-time family or several part-time. I have 39+ years of experience. Nannying, Childcare facilities & more. I help w/every family need. I grew up helping 9 younger siblings & 10 years experience as a foster parent along w/children of my own. I have vast experience at handling challenging children. I am known for working beyond my job requirement including travel, cooking/meal preparation (I owned and operated my own restaurant for over 18 years). I am constantly teaching the children I am involved with in every aspect of their daily life. I am a firm believer that structure and consistency keep children happy and feeling safe. I enjoy providing an environment that makes children feel loved & secure while also teaching values needed for them to be productive in life while also having fun. I pride myself in making everything a teachable moment while I spend quality hands on time

Hi Im Ulani and I am a compassionate, loving go with the flow young woman who absolutely adores children and discovering their likes and dislikes and their unique personalities. I believe that a child should be themselves with a babysitter and shouldn’t hide who they are. I love creating bonds with not only the children but the parents too. If you’d like to have a phone interview I would love to do so. I will also share my previous work history as a nanny.
