Lucy R., Babysitter in Cerro Gordo, IL 61818 with 6 years of paid experience

I am a college Junior studying Elementary Education with 6+ years of childcare experience. At 13 I started babysitting children outside of my family, and was hired on as an after school program employee for the Decatur School District at 15. Following my employment for the school district, I worked as a life guard and swim instructor where I taught necessary water safety skills, and recieved CPR, first aid, and BLS certifications four times over and even assisted in others training others. I have classroom experience from grades PreK-6th, from a variety of internships through my academic programs. As an education student, I have knowledge in developmentally appropriate practices, tutoring, and behavior management. I have also worked as a house cleaner independently alongside my mother, and am happy to help out with any household chores. I am looking forward to meeting with you!

Megan H., Babysitter in Cerro Gordo, IL 61818 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I am currently a Sophomore at ISU studying to be a middle school teacher (focus on Math and ELA). I have been babysitting since the beginning of high school and absolutely love it! I am great at coming up with fun, creative, and engaging activities to do with the kids, which I have been practicing much of through lesson planning in college. I am mostly available during the summers, but am available occasionally on weekends when I am in the Monticello area. I enjoy reading, crafts, and spending time with my dog!

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy helping children feel safe, supported, and confident while giving parents peace of mind. Building trust with both kids and families is the most rewarding part for me.

I graduated college in 2022 with a degree in Culinary Arts. I’m very energetic mother of 3 and extremely passionate about kiddos! Safety is always a priority of mine. I’m skilled in meal prep, diaper changing, helping with homework, productive hands on activities, sleep tactics/etc. I do have a vehicle, so providing transportation or light grocery shopping is no problem for me. I’m a very patient person, with a fun bubbly personality. Feel free to reach out with any further questions or concerns!
