My family has been fostering children since I was in 4th grade, and we've always had small children in the house that I've helped to raise/take care of. Taking after my mom, I LOVE children and have strong maternal instincts! Besides constantly helping out with kids around the house, I also have babysat for several different children in the past, as well as volunteering for Eco Camp two summers ago, where I was in charge of a medium sized group of children aged 5-12. Besides being able to help out a family in need, I'm hoping to earn some money to help out at college during the semester, as well as get quality time with little kids.

Hi my name is Sage! I am 24 and live with my partner and two dogs in Springfield, IL. I have had a passion for childcare since i was a child myself! I grew up with 4 sisters and many cousins I watched regularly. I was in the Navy for 2 years before becoming a nanny and eventually working at a daycare here in town! I am looking for a nanny/babsitting job because I prefer more one-on-one to really teach and care for children as they need. I have alot of experience with autistic children and special needs children. I am currently studying psychology to become a child therapist eventually! I do not smoke, i have my own car, and CPR certification. I love cleaning and organizing so i am always more then happy to help with anything around the house!
