Charlotte $16 per hour for 1 child

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.

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 : )
