Iβm a compassionate and dependable caregiver with over five years of experience supporting both children and seniors in home health, senior living, and childcare settings. As a Practical Nursing graduate (LPN, NCLEX-PN pending), I bring strong skills in safety, patient care, and attention to detail. I have hands-on experience caring for infants, toddlers, and young children, including feeding, hygiene, playtime, and maintaining structured daily routines. As a parent myself, I understand the importance of trust, patience, and creating a safe, nurturing, and loving environment where children feel comfortable and supported. In addition to childcare, my background in elder care has strengthened my patience, communication, and ability to respond calmly in any situation. Iβm experienced with monitoring well-being, following care plans, and maintaining a clean, organized environment. Families can rely on me to be attentive, trustworthy, and professional while providing loving, high-quality care.

With over 19 years of experience in childcare and education, I am passionate about creating safe, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can thrive. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to supporting each child's emotional, social, and academic growth while providing exceptional care. I currently serve as a high school educator and have previous experience as a nanny for three children and as a daycare provider, caring for children from newborns through 12 years of age. These diverse roles have given me extensive experience adapting to the unique developmental needs of children at every stage. As an English and literacy teacher, I am especially passionate about fostering strong reading and writing skills. I have also volunteered as a literacy tutor with a nonprofit organization, helping elementary students build confidence and strengthen their reading abilities. I believe that developing a love for literacy early in life provides children with a strong foundation for lifelong learning and success. My goal is to provide families with dependable, compassionate care while encouraging children to grow, explore, and reach their full potential in a safe and supportive environment.

Hi! Iβm Lilly, a current social work major at Aurora University. Iβm looking for part time sitter jobs until summer time where I would then be available to babysit full time! I have always been told that I am great with kids and I absolutely love being around them. For the greater part of my life I have had younger siblings, one being only 8 now, I worked at my high schoolβs preschool, and I have babysat for a family often (especially during the pandemic) for years. So I would consider myself quite experienced and ready to help out any family!
