My name is Hannah C. I have been married to my amazing husband for 19 years in October of this year. I have a daughter whom is 8 years old and a son whom is 12 years old. When my son was born back in January of 2014 I became a stay at home mother. I did not return back to work until my daughter started kindergarten 3 school years ago. I now work at my daughter’s elementary school part time as a student supervisor(recess monitor) I would also add to my experience I have babysat children at my church in age range from little baby to 10 year olds while the parents attend a Bible study group. I absolutely love working with children and it most definitely bring me lots of joy. I will advocate for the child when it’s necessary. I will most definitely watch out for the safety and wellbeing of your child/children. In stressful and chaotic situations I do my best to remain calm and collected and practice calming techniques. I will re direct and point to the positive side of things despite the stress and chaos. I love spending time outdoors, sitting down to color with children, reading a book to a child, listening to music or singing fun kids songs together, love taking walks and going to the park.

Hi!! I’m Jackie, a college student majoring in Social Work. I have one year of babysitting experience in the past along with a semester of a course at my high school titled preschool where I practiced providing a safe and fun learning environment for kids. I really enjoy playing, whether it’s competitive games or creative activities. I also enjoy kids movies and games which keeps me connected to a fun mindset. I believe these interests reflect the kind of energy you’d like in someone who works with children or in a playful environment.

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! 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 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!
