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. I also have experience teaching preschool, working with special needs, and assisting with household chores. I have a gentle, creative approach with children, and I love forming long lasting connections. Open minded, easy going, and filled with patience — I can confidently offer exceptional care and peace of mind. I would love to provide references upon request!

Hello! I’m an experienced, responsible, and caring babysitter with a background in childcare and education. I have hands-on experience as an assistant teacher and have taken many child based classes, so I’m comfortable with multitasking, staying attentive, and handling unexpected situations. My approach to babysitting is all about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids of all ages. I love to encourage creativity, support learning, and foster a positive atmosphere. Safety and attention to detail are top priorities, and I’m always ready to lend a helping hand.

Hi, My name is Eily Stoops! I am a freshman in college at SIU Carbondale! My major is Speech Language Pathology, and my dream is to work with young children! I believe babysitting during my studies will ultimately help me in my long term goal. I was a lifeguard for about 4 years before coming to college. I am certified in AED, CPR and First Aid. I absolutely adore children. I also have a brother that is 13 years younger than me, and is 7 now. I feel like I basically helped my mother raise him, so that definitely gave me some more experience! I would love to meet your families and ultimately be trusted to care for your children! Please feel free to reach out!

I genuinely love children and I have always instantly connected with them. Even as a child I was helping take care of children due to my mother owning two of her own daycares. I am first aide & cpr certified as well as safe serv (food safety) certified.

I’ve been watching kids my whole life, my sister is Autistic so everything under the branch of babysitting I’d say I excel in. Im good at communicating, bonding, building a relationship, problem solving, cooking, cleaning, etc.
