Hi everyone! 😊 My name is Camille and I graduated from Indiana University in December with a degree in Youth Development/pre med. I’m currently working in Chicago with Stryker in the medical field, and I’m looking for babysitting opportunities in the area! I have a strong background working with kids of all ages. I’ve coached youth tennis, held mentorship and leadership roles in college organizations, and have hands-on experience in healthcare settings, including working with pediatric patients. I’m CPR certified and also completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training, so I love keeping kids active, engaged, and having fun in a positive environment. I come from a big, family-oriented background and have lots of experience caring for younger siblings, cousins, and family friends. I’m responsible, energetic, and genuinely love building relationships with kids while making sure they feel safe and supported. I’m available for babysitting, date nights, after-school care, and can also help with light meal prep or homework. Feel free to message me if you’re interested or have any questions; I’d love to connect! 💛
My name is Amy, I'm 29 with 8 years of paid nanny experience. I have a Childhood Development Associates and an Early Childhood Education degree. I'm certified in first aid/ CPR for both children and infants and I'm licensed to teach under the age of 12. I am safe sleep certified, and trained in water safety/survival swim. I worked as a behavioral therapist and transitioned to nannying to have a more direct impact (which has become my career), I also have a ton of experience with infants and I'm a huge fan of sensory play. I like to take kids out to teach real world skills and develop/further interests. I am very careful with the way I speak to children and try not to coddle. I prioritize learning and clear communication, so I always explain reasoning before action. I genuinely just love building little humans and watching them come into their own! I would like to work mornings but a few full days is okay in addition! If I seem like a good fit to you please reach out!
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! ”
I am a nurturing, dependable, and creative caregiver with over 10 years of experience providing compassionate care to both children and seniors. I hold an Associate, Bachelor’s, and Master’s degree in Criminal Justice and Public Administration and am currently pursuing my nursing degree, combining academic knowledge with hands-on caregiving experience to deliver high-quality, holistic support. I take pride in creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and feel loved, while also ensuring seniors receive attentive and dignified care. Skilled in homework help, tutoring, cooking healthy meals, dancing, and painting, I bring both structure and joy to everyday life. I am also CPR certified and trained to remain calm and confident in emergencies. In addition to child care and senior care, I also offer household services such as light cleaning, meal preparation, and daily assistance to make family life easier and more organized. With a caring heart, strong work ethic, and a passion for helping others, I am committed to creating a warm, supportive, and safe environment for every family I serve.
