Sittercity helps Battle Ground families find the best nannies

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.

My name is Marcaja Todd. I am 24 years old. I attend Purdue University majoring in Computer Engineering with a minor in ASL. I do not have any babysitting certificates but have worked in numerous of daycares. I am originally from Chicago, I’ve worked for an organization in Chicago called the Better Boys Foundation. I watched kids 5-12 years old until their parents came to pick them up. I helped them with homework, serving them food, and help them get themselves organized for the next school day. I also volunteered at the Big Brother Big Sister organization. I helped my little with her homework and getting organized for school also. We also spent time talking about our day getting to know each other, and we also played games. My family also own a daycare. We accept kids 3 & up. I helped change diapers, cook for the kids, help with homework, read to them, and any other care a child needs. I love working with kids it’s one of my passions. I am also CPR certified.

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. I have experience babysitting, caring for children ages 5-12 through a YMCA program, and am the oldest of four younger siblings. I have also been CPR certified through this YMCA program.

Hello there! My name is Becca, and I am a junior at Purdue studying Elementary and Special Education. Working with kids has always been one of the biggest joys in my life. I’ve been babysitting, nannying, a camp counselor, and tutoring upper elementary students for years, and families I work with often tell me how much they appreciate my sweet, positive energy and how naturally I connect with their kids. I’m here not just to watch your kids, but to engage with them, whether that’s helping with summer homework, playing games, doing crafts, or just making sure they’re safe, happy, and having a great time. On top of that, I’m always happy to help with light housework, tidying up, and I’m super comfortable with pets (I’m definitely the type to give your dog extra belly rubs or make sure the house feels clean and cozy when you get home!). Right now, I’m saving up for my upcoming student teaching semester, and I’d love to support a family who’s looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely passionate about helping kids thrive. I bring a lot of heart and responsibility to every job, and I take pride in being someone parents can fully trust!

I’m going to be a second year college student studying to get a degree in Biology at Purdue University. I have experience with being a live-in nanny and with working at a daycare. Similarly, I am an older sister of many children ranging from 1-17 years old. I have training in First Aid and CPR, though I am in the process of renewing my certification. I am patient and engaging with children of all ages. I am willing to discuss pricing within your budget!

Hello! My name is Kaylynn and I’m 31 years old and I work in early learning at Christ United Methodist Church. I am an assistant teacher and work in all of the rooms (ages 6 weeks to 5 years old). I have babysat since I was 12 years old and it is now my job to take care of children. I have my CDA which is a child development associate. I really love doing crafts, science, and baking with the children in my care.

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’ve been working at a daycare for two years now! I teach preschool, but am experienced with all ages!! Teaching kids is something I love and am very passionate about.

Hello! I love serving and caring for people (especially babies!!) I love pets and currently have 2 adorable kittens. I have an intermediate level of Spanish-speaking. I have about 9 years of experience in childcare of all ages (infants, toddlers, school-age, teens). I have worked with 0-2 year-olds in church settings, 2-5 year-olds assisting with and teaching music and lessons, 8-11 year-olds at summer camp, 0-12 year-olds in families' homes, and 14-17 year-olds in a residential ministry setting counseling them in mental health issues (depression, anxiety, substance abuse, trauma, self-harm, and suicidal thinking). Outside of work I love being in nature, hiking, drawing, painting, writing and recording music, being with my family, and photography! I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your family.
