Faith $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Faith, and caring for children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started babysitting when I was 12 years old to help provide extra income for my family, and through the years it grew into something much deeper, a genuine passion for caring for and supporting children. Babysitting gave me early lessons in responsibility, patience, and creating a safe, nurturing environment, and those lessons have shaped who I am today. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with children of all ages, from infants to preteens. My background includes professional experience at Riley Children’s Hospital, mentoring and student leadership roles, and my ongoing service as the Assistant Department Head for the children’s Sunday School ministry at my church. There, I help plan lessons, organize activities, and lead groups of children in learning, play, and faith-based growth. Working with kids in a spiritual and community setting has given me a unique perspective on how to encourage kindness, creativity, and confidence in young hearts. In addition to childcare, I run a faith-based children’s clothing business, which allows me to combine my love for children with creativity and entrepreneurship. These experiences reflect my dedication, initiative, and ability to balance responsibility with joy. Parents can count on me to be dependable, engaged, and intentional in every babysitting role I take on. I am CPR/First Aid trained and comfortable with everything from bottle-feeding and diaper changes to homework help and structured playtime. I enjoy reading with children, crafting fun activities, playing games, and helping with light household tasks or pet care as needed. I have two masters degree (an MBA and an MPA). Families often describe me as trustworthy, dependable, and full of positive energy. I take pride in creating environments where kids feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow. Whether you’re looking for occasional care, part-time help, or someone who will support your family consistently, I look forward to bringing warmth, patience, and creativity into your home.
