Hi! My name is Faith, I’m 22 years old and I am currently in my final year of nursing school at IUPUI. I am the oldest of 4 girls, and have tons of baby cousins, so I’ve pretty much been a babysitter my whole life. I am CPR certified and I am interested in Pediatric Nursing. I have so much love for children and teenagers. I can help with tutoring in math, and I can also help run errands, if necessary. I also do not mind taking kids to and from practices, or picking them up from school/daycare.

Hi - My name is Shelby and I'm currently a senior at Butler University. I am offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids since I was 15 years old. My responsibilities have included crafts and tutoring. I also have worked as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands. I have a cat of my own and am happy to work with families with dogs and/or cats.

So incredibly grateful for Shelby. She was amazing with our 7 year old, playing, reading, teaching...all the things! Having her come back next week! Thanks Shelby : )
