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.

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

Hello, my name is Shannon and I am seeking a stable, full-time position with a family in Valparaiso, Portage, or Chesterton who values consistency, structure, and high-quality care. With experience caring for children from newborn through early school age — along with raising my own son, now 22 and serving in the military in a top-ranking role — I understand the importance of discipline, encouragement, and developmental support in a child’s growth. I offer calm, attentive care, structured routines, educational engagement, light meal preparation, and organization related to the children. I am dependable, communicative, and committed to building a long-term relationship with the right family. I am willing to obtain CPR/First Aid certification promptly to meet family safety preferences.

My name is Sarah! I have always been passionate about teaching and working with children. I currently work at a daycare/preschool and have been there for over a year now. I work with the infants specifically, but I also have a lot of experience with children ages 1-4. I enjoy my career path so much that I spend my time outside of work babysitting! I'm a junior at Indiana University South Bend, majoring in elementary and early childhood education. Because of this, I've spent time observing various elementary school classrooms nearby and I can also help with homework. I'm warm-hearted, responsible, and patient with children of all ages. I love to interact with kids by playing games, coloring, watching movies, doing crafts, or whatever else they enjoy doing! I can prepare meals and help with clean-up. I've also been trained in CPR, first aid, safe sleep practices, and universal precautions.

Hello! I am Rachel! :) I am a very fun, and happy person! Including being a momma myself, I have been in childcare for 7 years! I am also currently a home cleaner looking for a small part time job. Within 7 years I have been a nanny to a child with special needs. I have also worked for 3 different daycares. The most recent daycare I was an older infant teacher (Ranging from 6 mo, to 1 year). I also have experience in working with children in therapy sessions, if ever needed. I'd describe my personality as happy, caring, and energetic! I like working with kids because I love helping them learn, and grow! I also love seeing their little personalities come through! I started professionally working with kids when I was right out of high school! Although, I have been working with children through church at a younger age!
