Booked by 5 families in Plainfield, IN

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.

Faith Indianapolis
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Faith, and caring for children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started babysitting when I was 12 years old to help provide extra income for my family, and through the years it grew into something much deeper, a genuine passion for caring for and supporting children. Babysitting gave me early lessons in responsibility, patience, and creating a safe, nurturing environment, and those lessons have shaped who I am today. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with children of all ages, from infants to preteens. My background includes professional experience at Riley Children’s Hospital, mentoring and student leadership roles, and my ongoing service as the Assistant Department Head for the children’s Sunday School ministry at my church. There, I help plan lessons, organize activities, and lead groups of children in learning, play, and faith-based growth. Working with kids in a spiritual and community setting has given me a unique perspective on how to encourage kindness, creativity, and confidence in young hearts. In addition to childcare, I run a faith-based children’s clothing business, which allows me to combine my love for children with creativity and entrepreneurship. These experiences reflect my dedication, initiative, and ability to balance responsibility with joy. Parents can count on me to be dependable, engaged, and intentional in every babysitting role I take on. I am CPR/First Aid trained and comfortable with everything from bottle-feeding and diaper changes to homework help and structured playtime. I enjoy reading with children, crafting fun activities, playing games, and helping with light household tasks or pet care as needed. I have two masters degree (an MBA and an MPA). Families often describe me as trustworthy, dependable, and full of positive energy. I take pride in creating environments where kids feel safe, valued, and encouraged to grow. Whether you’re looking for occasional care, part-time help, or someone who will support your family consistently, I look forward to bringing warmth, patience, and creativity into your home.
