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! I am Maren. I am an auntie to 13 wonderful kiddos. I have 14+ years of experience sitting for my nieces and nephew, along with many other kiddos outside my family. I have been a nanny twice. I am currently a Recreational Therapist, working with kids and adults with developmental disabilities. I am CPR and First Aid certified.
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.
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 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.
