My name is Alyssa but everyone calls me Lyssa. Iβm the oldest of 6. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. Thatβs actually how I got into babysitting then from there it went to other family members and children of friends. Iβve always loved kids and Iβm a big kid at heart myself. Usually right before school starts back I take all the kids in the family on a mini field trip whether itβs to the movie theater or to an arcade. In school I took child development courses. So I have certificates for SIDS and Shaken baby. I am also familiar with children with allergies and with autism.

Hello families! My name is Lili, and I am a sophomore at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign. I am currently studying Political Science, on track to becoming a lawyer. Outside of my professional aspirations, childcare has been a passion of mine for years!I have been caring for family members from the age of 13 in an informal capacity. More formally, I have been babysitting outside of my family for about 4 years. Two of those years were in a summer camp facility where I learned safety precautions, stimulating entertainment, as well as educational implementations. With this combined experience, I hope to offer your little one a fun and appropriate experience!

Hi! Iβm Anilah, a full-time college student studying sonography with plans to pursue neonatal nursing. Caring for others has always been a huge part of who I am, and working with children feels very natural to me. I grew up in a big family with three siblings, so Iβm patient, nurturing, and comfortable in busy households. I love doing creative activities like painting and crocheting with kids, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment. Iβm reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy helping families feel at ease knowing their children are well cared for. At this time, I am not comfortable driving due to a recent car accident (not at fault). I am happy to care for children in the home and am reliable with on-site responsibilities.
