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.
Hi! My name is Faith, I’m 22 years old and I am currently in my final year of nursing school at IUPUI. I am the oldest of 4 girls, and have tons of baby cousins, so I’ve pretty much been a babysitter my whole life. I am CPR certified and I am interested in Pediatric Nursing. I have so much love for children and teenagers. I can help with tutoring in math, and I can also help run errands, if necessary. I also do not mind taking kids to and from practices, or picking them up from school/daycare.
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.
Hello. My name is Amanda and I'm currently back in Indiana (where I grew up) after many years living abroad in Taiwan. I am offering child care, senior care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have been babysitting since I was 16 years old. Additionally, I have four years of teaching experience for ESL students. I often read books and played games with my students and found it deeply rewarding to watch kids learn. I love to see how literature encourages curiosity and reflection at a young age. I will definitely keep your precious ones engaged and active while caretaking. I also work as a household assistant and can cook, clean, and run errands.I have been a caretaker for my own grandparents and am comfortable with senior care. I can cook, drive to appointments, or do other tasks. I also love to listen if there are stories to share and play a good card/dice game. I am an animal lover so I'm happy to work with families who have animals that need to be watched.
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!
