I’m currently a college student at Illinois State University, majoring in Human Development and Family Sciences. I have a strong passion for working with children and helping them grow. I spent three years with the Chicago Park District as a camp leader for kids ages 5–11, where I organized activities, supervised play, and created a fun, safe environment. I also volunteer at the YMCA, helping children with homework, playing games, and offering a supportive listening ear. I am CPR and First Aid certified and dedicated to providing attentive, caring, and reliable childcare.

Hi, my name is Sarah. I have been working with children in various ways for several years now. My background is in elementary education with an ESL endorsement. However, I've worked in an early education center, first, as a preschool teacher, and then a toddler teacher. I have also worked as a child entertainer at Great Wolf Lodge. I am currently going to ISU for communication sciences and disorders with the goal of being a speech therapist. With my education and experience, I know different ways to help your kiddos grow. I can help children work on their regular math and reading, and I can also help to advance their social and emotional health. I have worked with all ages, so I am excited to potentially get to help more children grow and develop. That is my passion. I am hoping to find a family who can be flexible with my school schedule. I am also available for night and weekend care. Please contact me with any questions.

I am a nurturing and fun child care provider that believes that children thrive in an environment which they feel is safe to explore and accepted unconditionally for their uniqueness. I have always loved caring for children. I started at 12, provided babysitting services for family, friends, and my teachers until leaving for college. I have earned an elementary education degree and am continually taking additional training as required by DCFS to maintain my license to operate my in-home daycare. I have raised 3 children of my own and been a part of many other children’s lives in the nearly 27 years of running my own in home childcare. Before that I was an infant room teacher and assistant director at a daycare facility. I enjoy many types of music, poetry, quilts and hosting gatherings at my home for my family.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Their creativity, energy, and curiosity make every day fun and different. I find it really rewarding to be a positive presence in a child’s life, whether it's helping with homework, playing games, or just being someone they can feel safe and happy around. I also love being part of their growth, even in small ways, and creating a safe, fun environment where they can thrive. I have over three years of experience working as a camp counselor, where I supervised and engaged groups of children in activities ranging from arts and crafts to outdoor games. Being a camp counselor has also given me the ability to problem solve and handle all types of situations. I’ve also spent a lot of time caring for my younger cousins, so I’m used to being hands-on with kids of different ages and personalities. These experiences have taught me how to manage routines, resolve conflicts gently, and keep kids entertained and safe. I’m very energetic, responsible, and quick to adapt. I know how to keep kids engaged with creative and age-appropriate activities, while also being mindful of their safety and emotional needs. I’ve learned a lot about communication, patience, and problem-solving from my camp counseling experience.
