My sister and I do child care out of our home in merrillville. We have years of experience watching kids of all ages. We are both very active and love to have fun, being outside, playing games, swimming, going to parks, doing crafts. Also we both are excellent drivers and very safe we can do pick ups and drops offs, taking kids to and from school. We grew up with our mom watching kids and we had so much fun and amazing memories from it.

Safe, Loving, In-Home Childcare

Hi everyone! I know how scary it can be to leave your child with someone new. I have children and completely understand. I can honestly tell you that I will provide a safe, loving, caring home environment for your child. I believe in treating others as you would like to be treated and will care for your child as I do my own. I am looking to care for a newborn - PreK age child 1-3 days a week, but will consider more days if needed. Also, I will provide a parents night out every few months at no cost. You can get your shopping done, go see a movie or just go back home to relax with no worries! If more evenings or weekends are needed, I can work with you on that as well. My son was in daycare and absolutely hated it! We both did actually. He would scream and cry for me to come back when I dropped him off. I would drive off feeling guilty & crying myself... wondering if he was in the right place. When I picked him up at night, he was always starving, thirsty and very quiet for the rest of the night. I wondered if he was being fed enough, given enough to drink & given enough attention. My son was constantly contracting viruses & infections from the different daycare centers we tried. After the last trip to the ER, I finally quit my job to stay home with him. He has not gotten sick once since he has been home with me and is so much happier. A little about me...married, college graduate, stay at home mom of 3 with 1 preschool aged child at home. My other two kids are grown and on their own. I have a degree in the healthcare field and hold a current CPR for Healthcare Providers Certification. This requires more intense training than a traditional "babysitters" CPR card. My home is newly re-modeled and will provide a clean, safe environment for your child to be in. Everything has been re-done and is fresh & new including the furniture. We have a large backyard with a wooden swing set that kids just love! Lots of indoor toys too! Since I already have one child at home, I am looking to add 1-2 children to focus on and care for. Your child will get the personal caring attention they deserve from a patient, loving mom. All meals, snacks & beverages will be provided by me. One less thing for busy parents to think about in the morning!
