Hi! I'm currently working at a daycare where I've gained 5 years experience along with additional babysitting experience. I primarily work with 5 to 11 year olds, but I also work with 6 week to 4 year olds during the school day. Because of this I am first aid certified along with being CPR certified for Infants, Children, and Adults. I'm a current student at Northern Illinois University in the Education department. My major is in Middle Level Math education (to be a middle school math teacher), but I've also taken professional development courses in early life and elementary education. I was also chosen for NIU's 2024 Educate Global trip where I had the chance to teach for a month in Indonesia, so I have plenty of interesting stories to tell!

My long term goal is to be a preschool teacher, therefore in high school I had the opportunity to observe and participate in a preschool program at South East elementary school. In my experience I assisted the children with their daily routines and responsibilities. Helping foster their independence was one of the best parts of my job. I loved seeing them smile when they accomplished something. My interests include, animals, music, kids,singing dancing, and biking. I'm a very outgoing person, I'm a recent graduate of Sycamore High school and I hope to obtain an opportunity to further my career goals.

Hi! I'm a proud mom to a wonderful 12-year-old son and a baby girl. My journey with childcare began early — I spent most of my preteen and teenage years babysitting, and over a decade later, I still regularly care for my nieces, nephews, and friends' children whenever they need an extra hand. Working with kids brings me genuine joy. Whether it's introducing age-appropriate academics or tapping into their creativity through arts and crafts (my favorite activity!), I love creating fun, engaging, and nurturing experiences for children. I’m a naturally fun-loving person with a big heart and a deep appreciation for the sweet, curious, and precious energy that kids bring into our lives. Growing up in a big family inspired me to dream of one of my own. Although life and career took me on a different path, I feel incredibly blessed to have my amazing children. They’ve taught me even more about the importance of patience, structure, and the value of routine in a child’s life — qualities I bring into every childcare setting. I'm currently working toward opening my own at-home childcare in the near future. I understand how challenging it can be to find a sitter who truly fits your family’s needs, and that’s why I strive to provide care that is reliable, warm, and tailored to each child. My goal is to build strong, trusting relationships with both parents and children, creating an environment where everyone feels safe, supported, and happy.

Being a sitter can make you feel a sense of fulfillment by providing care and support while building a positive relationship with the children and their families. It’s a job where you can be creative, active, and make a meaningful impact on young lives. Growing up as the oldest coming from a big family you take on a lot of responsibilities and skills like communication, patience, understanding of child development stances, adaptability, problem solving, safety awareness, the availability to stay calm under pressure, and being able to foster a child’s social, emotional, and intellectual growth through engaging activities.
