Hi! I’m currently a junior majoring in Elementary Education with a minor in Reading Specialist. I have several years of childcare experience, including babysitting, working as a Pre-K/Kindergarten enrichment instructor in a Chicago Public School afterschool program, and serving as a head counselor at a STEM and Art day camp for 6–8 year olds the past two summers. I love working with kids, helping them learn and grow, and creating fun, safe, and engaging experiences. Babysitting allows me to combine my passion for education with my joy for caring for children.

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 love making connections with kids and teaching them. I love getting to watch them grow. I have been told for years that I should specialize in something involving children. I am CNA certified having my CNA has made parents more comfortable due to the fact I am taught signs safety and precautions in serious occasions. I started off babysitting when I was 12 years old mostly family at first and I loved it. When I branched off into other families I loved it even more getting to know a child is a blessing and to have a connection to them is even better.

Hi, I’m Mia! I’ve spent years helping raise my two nephews and my niece—pretty much from the time they were wobbly walkers all the way to reading their first books. I genuinely love being around kids because they’re hilarious, curious, and always surprising me. I’m comfortable with everything from play-time adventures to helping with early learning, meals, and bedtime routines. Families say I’m patient, reliable, and a natural at keeping kids entertained while still keeping things safe. Whether it’s reading stories, building forts, or coming up with silly games, I make sure your little ones have fun and feel cared for. I am CPR+First Aid Certified

I currently work as an infant room assistant at a local daycare, and I have up-to-date certification. I am happy to share that if requested. I love taking care of infants and helping them learn and grow! I am experienced at making formula and breastmilk bottles. I am also happy to clean or help with chores if needed. A little about me is that I am a current ISU student, planning on graduating in the winter of 2026. I love traveling, crafting, and baking in my spare time.

I really love working with children and have over 30 years experience. I recently moved to Bloomington Il. to live with my Mom who is 89 years old. I grew up in Bloomington Il. but have lived in Champaign Il. for the past 30 years. I am looking for part time work but will consider full time, if it is a job I'm really interested in. I have taught in a daycare classroom for 19 years and the past 8 years I've been watching kids in their homes and have found that I thoroughly enjoy doing this. I like hvaing time to spend with kids on a more one on one basis and the chance to work with children of different ages. The last family I was with for almost 5 years and it was a great joy for me to watch these kids grow and develop. I have experience with children of all ages including infants. I have babysat for years and have worked in a couple of church nurseries. I love to keep kids busy and active. I play with them, sing with them and do art. I also like to take advantage of the many things in the community for children Ex. parks, librairies, etc. It is great to get them outside, even infants I take for walks. I can provide many refererences upon request. I would like to have the opportunity to speak with you and meet your family. Thank you for considering me for your babysitting position.
