Being raised in my mother's home daycare, my love for children started young. As I got older, my ability to help her increased. During high school, I took up Child Development classes as well as First Aid and Safety, Culinary, and CNA. From January to July, I was an Assistant Teacher at Little Wings Childcare and Learning Center. I worked in the 2 year old room. Although I testified to the "Terrible-Two's" phase, it didn't overcome me. Growing up with an autistic brother has helped me develop patience and understanding towards those with different abilities. I've always been known for how attentive I am towards children from family, friends, and coworkers. I hope to continue to use my abilities to help others.

Hello! I have 2 adult daughters and a 5 year old grandson. I was in the medical field for over 15 years and took a break for personal and professional reasons. I’ve always loved children but after starting a job search again, I realized that I want to take care of them full time. I’m very patient and trustworthy. I’m not great at promoting myself so feel free to ask me anything!

Hi there! I’m Elisha — a mom of four (three school-aged and one at home) and a lifelong caregiver with over 15 years of experience nurturing and supporting children’s growth. I’m currently opening my home to 1–2 little buddies to join our days for play, learning, and lots of fun in a peaceful, family-style setting. For the past 6 years, I’ve provided in-home childcare, and before that, I spent years as a nanny and in daycare settings. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation for creating a calm, safe, and loving environment where each child feels seen and valued. Our days are filled with imaginative play, outdoor adventures, reading time, and hands-on activities that let kids explore and be kids. I believe in gentle guidance, open communication, and building trust so both parents and children feel comfortable and cared for. If you’re looking for a warm, home-based care option where your child can learn, laugh, and make real connections, I’d love to chat and see if we’re a good fit!

Brooklyn R.

Hello, my name is Brooklyn! I am a full time college student at Illinois Central College. I am enrolled in the ultrasound technician program. As for experience with children, I was a babysitter/nanny to a 3 month old baby until she was almost 2. I also have experience with toddlers ages 1-4. I love being a sitters because the parents I worked for always felt safe bringing their child to me. They knew they would receive pictures throughout the day and knew I was taking good care of their child. I am interested in occasional babysitting jobs on weekends or evenings, as I am very busy with school during the mornings and afternoons most days.
