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! Iβve 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. Iβd love the opportunity to connect with a few families in the area to be an occasional date night sitter!

Hey, my name is Sincere! I am a 21 year-old college student, I enjoy watching movies with my family and writing recreationally whenever I can. I have been working since the age of 16, balancing school and work has been apart of my schedule for sometime now. One job I had the opportunity to work at was Lilβ Kickers, this was a soccer camp training students between the ages of 15 months to 6 years-old. It was not a competitive program but it helped introduce the children to communication and logical skills with fun soccer games to keep them active. Sometimes parents would spectate but most of the time they would leave the coaches responsible for the children. I worked at Lilβ Kickers for 8 months before relocating to a closer job. I enjoyed my experience and I was hoping to work with children again in the future. I have young siblings as well, a brother who is 15 and a sister who is 8, I took care of them when my mother was not home and it never was no problem. I understand the schedules of parents can become chaotic and difficult, I hope to alleviate the stress and take full responsibility of any task given by the parents.

Hello! My name is Cai M. I am a senior at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and I am a nanny with 9+ years of childcare experience seeking a new family to join! Part-time is preferred,but I am absolutely open to full-time. Ideally, I am looking for a long-term position. I worked at my church as a babysitter for 6 years changing diapers, coordinating play, integrating educational tools and ensuring safety. I then worked for a family with 2 young boys (for a span of 3 years as needed) and was involved in daily safety, educational enrichment and nutrition. My latest nannying job was with a family of 2 girls, ages 2 and 3. I washed dishes, did laundry, changed clothes, helped with household chores, meal prep and supervised playtime. I am also more than comfortable transporting children to and from activities and running errands for the entire family. I think I strike a perfect balance between nurturing and structure. I believe in partnering with the parent(s) to provide continuity of care and to honor and reinforce the parenting styles you value. I'm organized, punctual, reliable, I'm an excellent cook and cleaner and I am great with children of all ages!
