I am currently a Physician Assistant student who will be graduating in May and looking for work this summer (June-August) before I start my job in September. I have lots of experience with newborns and infants through nannying and working with Doulas at Tandem birthing center and postpartum house in Bloomington Indiana. I am also good cook and don't mind meal prepping or light housework. I have a lot of healthcare experience having worked in the emergency department and in an inpatient hospital setting and am CPR certified. As of June I should be certified as a Physician Assistant.

$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Kehinde, and I’m a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) graduate currently preparing for my NCLEX exam. While studying, I’m looking for a babysitting opportunity where I can provide safe, loving, and dependable care for your little ones. I have over 5 years of experience working as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), caring for people of all ages in both hospital and long-term care settings. My healthcare background has taught me patience, compassion, responsibility, and how to stay calm in any situation. I’m CPR certified, attentive to children’s needs, and happy to help with meals, homework, bedtime routines, light housekeeping, and creating a fun, safe environment. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your child, and I will treat your family with the same kindness, respect, and care that I would want for my own. I look forward to supporting your family and giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

Hey there, my name is Bri! I am a fun loving and very caring individual who absolutely loves kids! Getting to know the kids on an individual level and forming bonds is my favorite part of the job. I have 24 years of experience, taking care of children from infants to preteens also ranging from taking care of one up to five children at a time. I also have some experience with special needs children. I studied premed in college, I went through EMT training and I am CPR certified twice over. Whether it's playing or helping with homework or getting kids ready for school or activities I have done it all and I am good at my job! I have a reliable vehicle and if the kiddos need rides to school, activities or playground visits I have plenty of room and I am a very safe driver. And when it comes to extra duties, like picking up after the kids, doing a few dishes or other small household chores, I am there to help! If you need a résumé or any references, please let me know. Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to hear from you soon!

Amanda Wauwatosa
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Amanda, and I’m a responsible, caring, and proactive nanny with strong experience caring for children of different ages. I’m a confident and safe driver, CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m very comfortable around water — I know how to swim and always prioritize safety. I grew up in a family where care and responsibility were part of everyday life: my father was a firefighter and my mother is a nurse, which taught me the importance of safety, calmness, and quick thinking in any situation. I love helping children grow in a safe, organized, and loving environment. I’m happy to assist with organizing children’s spaces, tidying up toys, and light cleaning related to the kids, helping families keep a smooth daily routine. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly enjoy being part of a child’s development. I would love to support your family and create a positive, caring environment for your kids
