Find experienced nannies in Portage, IN

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! I am a mom of three kids. They are 21, 16 and 7. 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 August 17, I am available Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 7:30 am to 7:30 pm. I am available on some Saturdays as well. 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!!!

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

Hello! My name is Neleya, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient childcare provider who truly enjoys working with children and supporting their growth. I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) in a clinical setting, where I help children develop communication, learning, and behavioral skills in a positive and structured environment. Through my work, I’ve gained valuable experience helping children stay engaged in activities, build routines, and feel supported emotionally. I understand that every child is unique, and I focus on creating a safe, nurturing, and encouraging space where kids can learn, play, and feel confident. I’m naturally very patient and energetic, and I enjoy activities like reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and educational games that help children stay curious and engaged. My background working with children has also helped me become very organized, attentive, and calm when handling challenges or changes in routine. I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology, and working with children is something I’m truly passionate about. Families can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and dedicated to providing attentive, supportive care while creating a positive environment where children can grow and thrive.
