Ashley L., Nanny in East Chicago, IN 46312 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi there. I’m Ashley. I used to work as a day care teacher in the school age room. I currently babysit through my local church in the toddler age/infant section. I’ve done childcare work since I was 16 so this is not new territory for me. I’m open to doing light housework and cooking as well as small errands as needed. At maximum I’m open to watching four children, and I can help with homework if needed for school age children. I’m also okay with taking care of dogs and cats including walking small dogs.

Ashley is so creative and pays attention to detail. She remembers big things like medical issues, and the small things like your kid’s favorite snack or color. She’s caring, for kids and their families, which is very important to me. Ashley is one of my go-to people for childcare!

Khaliah helped us last minute when we really needed it. She was extremely sweet with our little boy, and very thoughtful and considerate while in our home. While our kiddo is in daycare and we don’t need regular support, I’m excited for the opportunity to have Khaliah watch our kiddo again!!

Ryan V., Nanny in East Chicago, IN 46312 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi I'm Ryan, I've worked in daycare centers and summer camps. I graduated from South Suburban College. I've been in child care for about 12 years now, I've had 2 nanny jobs and several babysitter jobs. I started babysitting a lot at 20 because I got step family that gave me 8 little siblings and I had to babysit some of their friends mostly during the summers. I like to be very active with the kids with play time or taking them to play at the park, Coloring books or reading books with them. Always down to watch a movie or play games on the tablets with them if allowed. I also love going places if needed. A little about me, Play basketball at the parks, Volunteer at animal shelters when possible, Definitely like my video games. I would say I'm very punctual, Very patient and kids love me.

Hi my name is Maria I am a 25 year old female and I am looking to care for kids and provide them excellent care. I have experience with infants and toddlers, I used to work as a teachers assistant at a daycare in my area sadly I could not continue working in the daycare because I started school and they only had full time positions available. I also worked as a nanny for a 4 month old infant and a baby sitter for a 2 year toddler. I speak both Spanish and English. If Spanish is something you are interested for your kids to learn I can completely provide that. I am good at communicating with small children and helping them with their homework as well as meal prep, laundry for children and giving them emotional support when needed. I am a non smoker, I promise to take care of your kid as if he/she/they were my own. I have my own car so valid transportation you will receive. you will not regret it! Super reliable and punctual. I have a lot of active experience right now and have been working with families these past 3 months. I have had the opportunity to care for a 5 month old who is now 9 months, A toddler, pre school age child, and two girls who are now 6 years old and 12 years old. I have very active experience and I am looking forward to being able to help families and give them the extra support that they need! I am very punctual and will always let know ahead of time if there are any issues with scheduling but I am pretty reliable. I love working with baby’s and kids and see myself doing this long term. I do have an active background check, motor vehicle background check, cpr certifications and can provide great references to speak on my work.

Taylor  B., Nanny in East Chicago, IN 46312 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Taylor, I worked at a daycare for about a year in high school, did a lot of babysitting for family & friends. I went to Elementary school in Hyde park, later moved to the suburbs and went to high school at Thornwood, started college at Governors state. I joined sittercity because I eventually want to open up a daycare and thought I should start working more in the career I love and want to permanently work in. Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping little ones entertained, or just making sure they feel cared for, I’m here to help! I’m very responsible, reliable and patient. I’d be happy to support your family whenever you need an extra hand.

We are very fortunate to have found Michele through Sitter City three years ago. She became the nanny to our then 6- week-old son and gave excellent care. Three years later, Michelle continues to be involved in our son and his new younger brothers' life, occasionally babysitting and has recently been taking our older boy with her on activities with with her younger brothers and her son. It is the highlight of his week and he has a blast. We feel lucky to have met Michele and we encourage you to contact us if you are considering her, Chris (323-687-3639) or Elizabeth (310-699-5906).
