Hi there! I'm Bella Perez, and while I may not have a lengthy professional resume in babysitting, I come from a wonderfully large family full of energetic kiddos that have given me a lot of hands-on experience! As the go-to family babysitter, I've embraced every giggle and storytime that comes with caring for my younger relatives - all on a volunteer basis. My role as the unofficial 'childcare coordinator' in my household has taught me patience, creativity, and the art of multitasking, ensuring your little ones are safe and happy.

I just moved back to Bloomington for a new career path at ISU after three years of working in Nashville, TN in country radio promotions! I’ve been babysitting for over a decade for a range of ages from 8 week olds-12 year olds and everyone in between. I also spent my summers as a summer camp counselor in between school where I was certified in First Aid & CPR. I’d love the opportunity to connect with a few families in the area to be an occasional date night sitter!

Hello parents! My name is Kim. I'm a seasoned childcare provider and have my degree in Early Childhood Education. I have been a nanny since 2013 for local families in the area. Before that I worked at Gottlieb Hospital in the daycare for medical personnel. I ran my own daycare for many years and enjoy helping children reach their individual milestones. I like to do arts and crafts, simple cooking projects and finding ways to expand the child's own interests. I have worked with all age groups. Local references available.
