Hi! I'm currently a student at McHenry County College, transferring to AU in the fall to pursue a bachelor's in Social work! I am bilingual fluent in both English and Spanish. I have 5+ years of experience babysitting. I have taken care of my cousins, nieces, nephews, and family friends' children. Additionally, I was a volunteer at my church, teaching and caring for children aged 6-10 years old.In my second year at MCC, I worked as a student worker at the Children's Learning Center helping to take care of children from 18 months to 5 years old. My goal is to create a safe and fun environment for every child. I love spending time with kids and making babysitting enjoyable for everyone! I'm energetic, creative, and enjoy games, crafts, movies, and outdoor activities. I also understand the importance of structure and safety, so parents can feel comfortable knowing their children are in good hands.

Hi! My name is MJ, and Iβd love the opportunity to care for your little ones! I have been babysitting since high school, primarily caring for children ranging from 6 months to 8 years old, though Iβm happy to work with older children as well.I earned my Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Health Sciences and am CPR certified. Professionally, I work as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I provide one-on-one support to children with autism by helping them build communication, social, play, and daily living skills in a fun, patient, and encouraging environment. This role has strengthened my ability to meet each child where they are, stay calm under pressure, and create a safe, positive space where kids can thrive.Iβm also passionate about supporting children beyond my career. Iβve volunteered at a grief camp for children, a camp for children with serious illnesses, and in pediatric settings at the hospital, experiences that have deepened my compassion and reinforced how important it is for every child to feel seen, supported, and cared for.Whether weβre doing crafts, playing outside, reading books, helping with homework, or simply keeping a familiar routine, my goal is always to make your child feel comfortable while giving you peace of mind. Iβm also happy to offer tutoring or homework help when needed.I understand how much trust it takes to leave your child with someone else, and I strive to care for every child with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

I am kindhearted, nurturing, and kid friendly! I enjoy caring for kids because they bring me joy and I also hope to provide the same amount of love, care and protection I received from my mentors as a child. I currently work full time as an Elementary Program Director where my main responsibilities are to care for, teach, and support elementary aged children. I have experience caring for infants to high school aged kids. I like to play games/toys, watch movies, or do a fun activity/craft with kids.
