Hi! I’m a sophomore at Ball State University home for the summer and looking for babysitting and dog sitting opportunities. I’m very responsible, dependable, and great with kids of all ages. I enjoy keeping children engaged with activities, helping with routines, and creating a fun, safe environment for them. I’m patient, energetic, and easy to communicate with, and I always want parents to feel comfortable and confident leaving their kids in my care. I also have experience caring for dogs and am happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care if needed!
Hi everyone, My name is Emily, and I'm 22 years old. I'm currently studying online at the University of Michigan-Flint, majoring in Child Development, with hopes of becoming a Child Life Specialist at a hospital. I just recently moved to the Indiana area and am looking for evening/weekend babysitting jobs. I have 6 years of experience, including 5 years working at a daycare. Additionally, I am CPR and First Aid certified. If you or anyone you know needs a reliable and experienced babysitter, please feel free to reach out to me! :)
Hi my preferred name is Remus. I’m an 18-year-old high school senior with years of hands-on caregiving experience. I’ve spent much of my teen years helping care for my family, and at gatherings I’m often the go-to babysitter, keeping kids safe, entertained, and engaged. I’m also very helpful with elder adults, assisting with daily tasks and providing companionship. I’m reliable when it comes to cleaning, organizing, and maintaining a tidy home. I have a genuine love for animals and am comfortable caring for pets as well. I’m patient, responsible, and dedicated to creating a safe, positive environment for everyone.
“My kids absolutely loved Remus! ”
