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!

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.

My very first job was working in a daycare, and I've loved working with kiddos ever since! I've always found that I connect with children easily, no matter their age, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their personalities, interests, and little quirks. My goal is always to make babysitting feel fu and comfortable for the kids while also giving parents peace of mind. I've also worked as a tutor consistently throughout school, so homework help and keeping up with schoolwork are no problem! I graduated from Southern Illinois University with a degree in Psychology, where I took several courses focused on childhood development. I love finding ways to make learning fun and meeting kids where they're at. Outside of childcare, I am happy to help out around the hosue, whether that means making dinner (I'm a great cook!), tidying up after the kids, doing dishes, or just making sure things are a little easier for everyone. I love cooking and don't mind getting creative with meals (including working around picky eaters!).Most importantly, I want the families I work with to feel like they can trust me. I'm patient, responsible, and attentive, and I treat every child as an individual. Whether your little one wants to play pretend for three hours, needs help with their math homework, or just needs someone to make them feel safe while you're away, I'm happy to be that person!Feel free to reach out to Shauna Smith as reference at shaunasmith1112@gmail.com
