Find a babysitter in Gary, IN

Hello! My name is Maggie, I am a graduate student looking to help out and make some extra cash. A little bit about me, I am the oldest of 4 children and have many years of childcare experience. I am currently CPR/AED certified for children and adults (until June 2027). From 2[removed], I worked as a swim instructor and lifeguard for children ages 6 mo to 13 y/o. The following 3 Summers, I was a full-time nanny for 4 amazing kids (managed meal time, planned activities, transportation to activities). During undergrad/college, I worked at a childcare facility for 2.5 years with children ages 0-5 years old (majority of the time I was working with 3/4 year olds and infants). Last summer, 2025, I was a camp counselor and lifeguard on Lake Michigan. I also have experience babysitting infants 3mo-6mo. My philosophy for care: I prioritize play, I have a energetic/bubbly personality, I am flexible and open-minded, I understand the importance of structure/routine and deeply care about the well-being of children. I also have 3-5 years of experience dog sitting, dog walking, and household management/care.

Hi, my name is A’Raya’ and I ama current sophomore at CSU. I’ve been babysitting children under 1, toddlers, and school aged kids since I was 10-12, starting with my family. I love cooking, art, reading/writing, board games, and writing. I would be able to help with homework and tutoring, meal times, cleaning, and creative activities. I am CPR and AED certified and planning to get my Child Development Associate. I love working with kids and have since worked at two summer camps ranging from ages 4-13. I have taken care of my own for 4 years, including: dogs, cats, fish, and a turtle.

As a proud mother of two grown, independent adult children, my nest may be empty, but my heart is still completely full of love for little ones. Having successfully navigated the beautiful, chaotic journey of raising my own kids into adulthood, I find myself deeply missing the pure joy, curiosity, and laughter that only children bring. I am eager to channel that enduring warmth, patience, and experience into providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for your children.

I am a prek sped teacher and willing to work with special needs children or many at once but price may increase for multiples not special needs special prices. However, I want to have clear expectations. I am ell certified and almost a learning behavior specialist. I love art outdoors science and sports! I love to teach through hands on methods and do not raise my voice to children unless an emergency. If this happens, I’ll explain why to the child and tell you. I’m comfortable with many little ones. Thanks!
