Hello! I have been a babysitter for two years fully paid in my hometown Litchfield Illinois. I am now a junior at McKendree University as a psychology Major. I have a 3 year old nephew that I love watching and babysitting on the weekends for my sister and I have a goddaughter/ niece that is about to turn one this year that I have helped take care of and watch. I have babysat children of the ages between 2 months up to 13 years old! I love being able to help take the stress away with work life and home life, it can be very stressful so having help always makes it seem a little less stressful. I am also a cheerleader at my college, but my practices are in the morning and my schedule is pretty flexible for my classes.

I have two years of experience working with Right At School, providing after-school care for children in kindergarten through 5th grade. In this role, I supported students by providing homework and educational assistance, implementing age-appropriate curriculum and activities, supervising outdoor play, and ensuring a safe, engaging environment. I maintained open communication with parents regarding their childβs progress and daily activities, managed facility organization and cleanliness, completed administrative tasks, utilized various databases and technology systems, and was responsible for checking children in and out of the program. I also provided emotional and physical support to help foster each childβs well-being, confidence, and positive development.In addition to my professional experience, I have been helping care for children in my own family since I was around 10 years old. As one of seven siblings, I naturally took on responsibilities caring for my younger siblings, which helped me develop patience, responsibility, strong communication skills, and a genuine passion for working with children.
