I am currently looking for babysitting or nanny positions where I can provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for children. As an elementary education major, I am especially interested in roles where I can help with learning activities, homework support, and overall development while building strong relationships with families. I am patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy working with children of all ages. I value creating a structured yet fun atmosphere where kids feel comfortable and encouraged to be themselves. As a God-fearing individual, I lead with kindness, respect, and integrity, and I am committed to being a reliable, positive caregiver.

I have been caring for children since I was 16 years old. My childcare experience began by assisting my mother with the children she babysat, which helped me develop strong skills in supervision, engagement, and creating a safe environment for children of all ages. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with children and families in educational and community settings. I previously worked as a Registered Behavior Technician at an autism clinic, providing individualized support to children with autism and helping them develop communication, social, and daily living skills. I have also served as a Mentor Coach, supporting educators and helping improve outcomes for young children in classroom settings. Currently, I work as a Redeploy Program Manager, where I support youth and families by coordinating services, mentoring young people, and helping them achieve positive outcomes. My background in child development, behavior support, education, and social work allows me to provide attentive, compassionate, and dependable care. I am committed to ensuring children feel safe, supported, and engaged while in my care.

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.
