Hello families! I'm Allie, I'm 29 years old, and I've been a nanny for the last 11 years. During that time, I've worked with infants up to teens, in both public and private settings.

Oyin S., Babysitter in Carbondale, IL 62901 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi there! I'm Oyin. I recently earned my degree in psychology and my masters in social work , and I have been caring for children for 12 years as a babysitter and worked a bright horizon and rainbows end. I have a lot of experience working with infants-school age, and I also spent three years babysitting a six-year-old girl on the autism spectrum. I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. Nothing makes me happier than running into someone who I used to babysit and remembering all the fun times we had together! I can provide references upon request. I'd love to meet you and get to know your children.

Jasmine C., Babysitter in Carbondale, IL 62901 with 8 years of paid experience

I'm currently a college student pursuing a degree in Nutrition. I have a solid background in early childhood development, with additional skills relating to healthcare and midwifery. I've been helping care for children from the age of 10, starting with family members, then moving on to routine babysitting gigs, and eventually spending time with families as their long term nanny. I am happy to help with the household by taking children to the doctor, taking minor care of pets, going grocery shopping, tutoring, starting dinner, or doing light housekeeping like dishes or laundry if time permits.
