Hello! My name is Brooke and I am working towards my masters in Art Therapy. I exclusively babysat two girls at the age of 4 and 6 until they were 12/9 and after that I set off for Georgia to get my bachelors at SCAD. I'm now back in the nwi area and am so excited to be able to see my 2 year old nephew whenever I want. love nature and would take your children outside to play or use my creativity and get into some arts and crafts! Thankyou for considering me and feel free to ask any questions!
Hi I’m Jordan! I double majored at Purdue in psychology and law & society and graduated in 2024. I moved to Chicago for law school and I just finished up my first year. I have been providing childcare since I was about 16 years old and I’m first aid & cpr certified. I worked at a local daycare in my hometown for a summer. I was also a nanny my senior year and continued to nanny for that family until I left for college. While at Purdue, I worked at a daycare. I was a floater, so I worked in the infant room, multiage room, 2s room, and pre-k so I am comfortable with all ages! I am also comfortable with pets!
“Jordan is wonderful! She is kind, professional and timely. She was great with our 1.5 year old, and we highly recommend her!”
