Find experienced nannies in Merrillville, IN

Hello! I am a mom of three kids. They are 20, 15 and 6. I homeschool my youngest which allows flexibility in our schedule. I bring my daughter with me. I will not be homeschooling her while caring for your children though. Starting in August I will be available Mondays , Tuesdays and Fridays from 7:30am-8:30pm. Wednesdays and Thursdays I’m available from 4:30pm-8:30pm.We live in Winfield/Lakes of the Four Seasons. I don't mind traveling a bit further depending on hours and pay. I can babysit in my home or yours if that’s what you prefer. I always bring our own food and drinks with us and anything else that we need. We spend a lot of time reading, dancing, singing, drawing, painting, cooking, baking, homework, walks, parks, spending time playing outdoors when it’s nice. I’m very comfortable with caring for any age. I am also comfortable with pets. I’m ok with driving the kids for drop off and pick up to school or activities depending on distance. I have my degree in early childhood education. Before becoming a mom I taught preschool and worked in daycare. I also worked in before and after school childcare at an elementary school and summer camps. I have volunteered for years in my own kids' school as well as briefly working there teaching reading. I volunteered at church in the kid's ministry as well as working in childcare in the church. I am currently babysitting occasionally for a family but I really need to find something more consistent. I can provide references. Message me with any questions. Have A Blessed Day!!!

Every parent needs a break, yet you shouldn't have to worry about your kids when you're away from them. I would like to provide that break for you, complete with peace of mind, knowing your child is well cared for and with someone who finds the humor in everything and can make even homework fun. I am an energetic, patient, creative and responsible person. I am reliable and trustworthy - my time spent in your home will be devoted exclusively to your children and their needs - not my cell phone or the television! That is what I would expect from a sitter in my home and that is my commitment to you. I have provided loving care for numerous infants and children my entire adult life. For the past three years I thoroughly enjoyed working as a nanny for two different families - one with three children and the other with seven. For a period of 15 years, I worked as an as-needed evening babysitter for 15 families. I have assisted in church infant and toddler nurseries for 25 years. I have taught Sunday School for over 10 years to children ages 2-10. I have taught Spanish to children ages 4 through adult for 5 years. I have worked with both children and adults with developmental delays (including behavioral issues and learning disabilities) for 20 years. I have worked as a primary and elementary school dual language teacher, a reading interventionist and private tutor with children who have learning struggles. I enjoy getting to know children to discover their likes/dislikes and tailor games and activities accordingly. We can play outside, do arts and crafts, sing, make up stories - the possibilities are endless! English is my first language, but I speak Spanish fluently. Just say the word and I will spend all the time you like speaking in Spanish to your child(ren)!

hello! my name is silvana i’m 24 years old, i’ve been babysitting for as long as i could remember but started to actually get paid experience at 18. I had mostly gained experience babysitting my cousins and my parents friends kids. A little about myself, i’m a very bubbly person always smiling and laughing. i consider myself very respectful, my parents have taught me amazing manners. I was currently work as a waitress at texas roadhouse so working around people of all age rage and having to interact with hundreds of customers daily, learning to defuse situations come up with solutions and making sure people have a good experience. I love and adorable kids same goes for pets, I have a dog of my own he’s a 8 year old Maltese. The cutest little thing, his name is teddy. I speak english and spanish fluently as well as reading and writing of course. Im very family oriented, my mom is my best friend as well as my 19year old brother, he has my whole heart. We are inseparable I love that little boy to death. Although isn’t so little anymore as he is a new dad with my niece who is 2 months old, who knew being an aunt would bring so much joy in my life. The reason i’m interested in babysitting again after 1 year off is 1. Be around kids again I can’t wait to be a mom myself, being an aunt is already filing that partial role 2. i’m trying to earn money to hopefully go back to school 3. id love to help the parents most important, to get some weight/ stress off their chest.

I am Miss Danielle. The kids describe me as “the cool nanny” I’ve always had a passion for taking care of children or working with them. I have done volunteer work while receiving my certifications in Child Development and started working in a day care immediately after. As I grew more experience I started to feel more confident to become a sitter for families who couldn’t afford overpriced child care service. Last year I took on a very big role in 4 children lives. I met them while they were living in a shelter and I instantly wanted to help this family. I started to use resources to help them and their mom secure an establish place to live. They inspired me to continue to follow my path and advocate and be a superb babysitter or nanny! I have a 12 year old daughter as the experience of mommy hood has been the best! I’m still learning and I’m loved by all of my nieces and nephews (8 and counting) winning favorite Aunt 3 years in a row. I am enthused and passionate about taking care of children and growing bonds with the families I work for. I would love to be considered as someone you can trust with your children, teach your children as my own and also provide a safe and healthy environment.

I think the most rewarding part about caring for children is fostering relationships with them and their families. I really cherish the moments where I can help families support a child's growth and become an integral part of their development. I love engaging with learning activities and going outside in nature with children to explore and learn.

I've been a nanny for 6 years now. It's the best job I have ever had! I love kids and always wanted to open up my own day care center. That never happened so I'm doing the next best thing! I love playing games, reading books, singing songs and nursery rhymes. I like to play outside at the park or just go on a walk and explore. I hope that you consider me for the most important position in your home. Finding that perfect nanny is a stressful decision for you. I hope to meet with you and your family to see if we are that perfect fit! If you decide to go in a different direction, I wish you the best on your search. Sherri
