Hi! I’m a college student studying Health Care Management with a real love for working with kids. I have over 2 years of paid childcare experience, including regularly caring for two children ages 5 and 7. I’ve personally worked with children ranging from 6 months to 12 years old.I also completed a course where I worked hands-on with preschoolers, planning and leading fun, educational activities several times a week. I’m dependable and always bring a patient, playful energy to every job. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment where children can learn and grow! I’m comfortable with pets, happy to help with light housekeeping, and would love to become a positive part of your family’s routine! I’m also a big animal lover and have grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life. :)

As a dedicated college student and the eldest sibling in my family, I have always embraced the beautiful nature of children—their curiosity, their boundless energy, and the way they see the world with such wonder. Growing up as the oldest, I naturally took on a nurturing role, which has given me a deep understanding of patience, responsibility, and the importance of being a positive influence. I genuinely love watching children grow, guiding them through their milestones, and being someone they can look up to. There is nothing more rewarding than fostering a safe, engaging, and loving environment where they feel supported and inspired. With my experience, warmth, and passion for childcare, I am eager to make a meaningful impact on every family I work with.

Hi! I’ve been working with kids since I was certified in the babysitting course at 13. I’m used to babysitting since I’m the oldest of 3, and have babysat for neighbors, families through lifeguarding, and others I’ve met locally. I am certified in first aid, CPR, AED, and trained in the heimlich maneuver through Red Cross, and have had those renewed twice. I have a pretty open schedule since I just finished my Rad Tech seminar and hope to make some connections sitter-wise since I just recently moved here!

I’m the oldest daughter of 10, so I have taken a caretaker role in a lot of my younger siblings growing up this made me what to pursue elementary education. I love helping kids grow and develop into their own individual people. I also love helping kids reach an AHA moment when something finally clicks with them. I have known I wanted to teach from a young age so Iworked hard to make my dreams into reality and graduated high school three classes away from an associates degree. I am currently a second year Junior at SIU.
