Hi! I’m Lilly, a current social work major at Aurora University. I’m looking for part time sitter jobs until summer time where I would then be available to babysit full time!

For the greater part of my life I have had younger siblings, one being only 8 now, I worked at my high school’s 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!

Hi there! My name is Emily and I have 8+ years of experience in the childcare field! I currently am studying social work and plan to work with childcare professionals and help children through different types of therapy. I grew up in a very diverse family and have experienced adoption and special needs. Both come with difficult challenges but I hope to use my gained knowledge to help other with similar situations. My job is to let you rest and ensure your children are having fun in a safe and educational environment. I've been told I have an old soul and I pride myself in keeping childcare simple just like childhood should be. I try to ensure electronics are turned off and that whoever I'm watching is having fun without a screen.
