Hello! I’m Ayanna, a dedicated and caring babysitter with over 6 years of experience in providing exceptional childcare. Currently, I am pursuing my MBD (Master of Business Development) graduate degree, which has helped me develop strong organizational and communication skills that I apply to my babysitting work. I am passionate about creating a safe, fun, and enriching environment for children. Whether it’s assisting with homework, organizing creative activities, or preparing healthy snacks, I’m committed to tailoring my care to suit each child’s individual needs and interests. I’ve had the pleasure of working with kids of all ages and truly enjoy the connections I build with each family I work with. Additionally, I am pet-friendly and comfortable around animals, as I own a dog myself. I understand how important it is to make sure your pets are also cared for, so I can offer pet-sitting services as well if needed. With my experience, strong work ethic, and nurturing approach, I strive to ensure that you feel confident and at ease when leaving your children in my care. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family!

Hi! My name is Icys, and I’m a college student at Illinois State University. I’ve always loved working with children and have several years of experience with kids of different ages and needs. I have a 3-year-old little brother who I’ve helped care for throughout his life, so childcare has always been a big part of my everyday life.Professionally, I worked at a recreation center for about 3–4 years with children ages 3–13, primarily ages 3–5. I’ve also worked as a summer tutor with 4–5-year-olds and as a Behavioral Technician providing ABA therapy to children with autism. These experiences have taught me how to be patient, attentive, creative, and adaptable to each child’s individual personality and needs. I enjoy keeping kids engaged through play, learning activities, conversation, and simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable managing routines while still making the day fun. I understand that every family has its own expectations and parenting style, and I’m always willing to follow the routines and rules parents have in place.I’m looking forward to connecting with families in the Bloomington-Normal area and hopefully becoming someone both you and your children can feel comfortable and confident with!
