Hiii, my name is Jessica, I’m 21! I’m a student at Indiana university Indianapolis, I live in Plainfield Indiana. I am the oldest daughter of 3 younger siblings! I have experience working as a substitute teacher with Kelly services! I would be an amazing sitter.
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.
My employment background is Executive Assistant and now that I'm retired, my desire is to return to my first love "children". I began babysitting my nieces and nephews at age 12 up to my current grand children. I worked at a daycare center, and volunteered at Girls, Inc and both were rewarding experiences! My childcare tasks includes, meal prep & feeding, baths, parks, YouTube educational videos! board games, story times, drives to/from school or Dr. Appts, soothing fears, applying a bandaid (if needed), animated movies, walks, & hugs!
Hi! My name is Naviya and I’m currently a freshman at IU Indy. I’ve been taking care of children even when I was considered a child myself because I grew up in a big family with kids around all ages. I’ve been the go to babysitter for my family for as long as I can remember, with the ages ranging from 6 months to 10 years. I love all breeds of dogs and cats! I can cook, clean and play with the kids and any pets you might have. I also have my CNA certification.

I also helped with toddler and kids dance classes through out high school, in addition to being a student mentor for younger kids in high school as well. I am able to run errands clean house if needed as well! Further, I am welcome to taking care of dogs, cats, and even reptiles if needed!
