Hi! I've been a nanny for over 12 years now, including recently in San Francisco for the last 7 years. We are now heading to Indianapolis for my husband to attend law school for the next 3 years. I grew up in Illinois about 2 hours away so I have been to Indianapolis multiple times before and have explored the city while visiting my sister who attended college there. A normal schedule for me is taking kids to and from school and activities on a daily as well as to parks and other fun developmental activities. I love children I just don't have any of my own yet and grew up in a big family. I'm currently looking for full time or part time work as I'm very new to the area. -Recently Red Cross CPR/First Aid certified in adult, children and pediatric. -Trust line certified -have over 200 hours working one on one with behavioralists as one of the twins I just nannied for was on the autism spectrum.

I was lucky enough to find Theresa around the time we decided to transition to daycare. Although we weren’t able to hire her as our nanny, we stayed in communication for date nights and weekend help. It’s turned out to be the connection I have made on any babysitting app. Our daughter truly loves her and is so happy when she comes over. She’s interactive - always singing, playing, chatting. We always feel relaxed when she’s in our home and can actually enjoy some time away. Aside from being amazing with our daughter, shes always on time, reliable and very communicative. If you’re looking for a wonderful addition to your family, Theresa is your person!

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 : )

I have a diverse background in child, pet, and senior care. I have been babysitting since middle school (where I even took an official course and got CPR certified), coached youth soccer camps and travel club teams of boys and girls ages 6-10, was a mentor of middle-school aged girls through Girls Inc of Indianapolis and tutored/volunteered at several inner-city after-school programs, and have tons of experience with kids of all ages because of my large family (I have 20 first cousins younger than I am and have often watched my neice and nephew over the years while my siblings were on vacations, even when they were under a year old). I have always loved animals (wanted to be a vet when I was a child), and have extensive experience particular caring for dogs because of my ownership and foster experience (I have had pets and shared responsibilities for them since childhood). I have also cared for cats--I love them but have a mild allergy, so I tend to limit those to short pop-in visits depending on the breed. Some limited experience with basic tending of birds (parakeets, lovebirds, macaws); and small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, etc. The past couple years I have focused on working as an in home health supportive services worker, particularly for seniors with mobility and memory decline issues (helping them with their house chores, cleaning, preparing meals, and generally providing companionship.) I've always found success and enjoyment in child/pet/senior care positions because I have a very calm, patient demeanor, high emotional intelligence which helps me connect with both introverts and extroverts, an extremely creative mind that keeps children engaged, a great sense of humor/willingness to be silly with young kids (I am known as the "favorite" aunt and always asked to join their vacations), and am known as "an old soul" who enjoys keeping seniors company and helping improve their lives in ways they no longer can manage themselves. I always feel a strong sense of pride in being able to provide my clients with the confidence to leave their loved ones in my care and come back to them just as happy or happier than when I arrived :) I believe one of the greatest gifts we can give people is their time back to them when they need a break or just assistance in this difficult economic period we're experiencing. If you're looking for a fun, dependable, experienced caregiver, I'd love the chance to help you! :) *I'm also fluent in Spanish

Emily was great with my boys! They both had a lot of fun and was ready for bed when we got back home!

LaShanta Indianapolis
$20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a positive, bubbly, and dependable caregiver who truly enjoys caring for others. I’m great at multitasking and have experience working in long-term care with all types of patients, including dementia care, rehabilitation, and daily household support, where I built strong, trusting bonds. I also spend a lot of time caring for children, including my infant nephew and a close friend’s four-year-old daughter. I love watching children grow, learn, and gain confidence, and I enjoy being a positive role model through guidance, patience, and encouragement. I’m happy to help with errands, school-related tasks, and daily routines, and I always aim to create a safe, loving, and supportive environment.
