Hi! I love being a sitter because kids bring so much joy and energy into everyday life. I enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s helping with homework, doing crafts, playing outside, or just being silly together. For me, it’s about creating a safe, fun, and caring space where kids feel comfortable and parents feel at ease. I’ve had experience caring for children of different ages, from little ones to school-aged kids. I’ve helped with after-school routines, meals, bedtime, and keeping kids entertained with creative and active play.

Hello, I love being a sitter, because I am able to not just help out the parents alone, but to help out the family when they are needing someone there who is willing to help. The experience I have is that I have grown up babysitting younger family members or family friends and even some young kids that I go to the daycare I went to growing up. skills that I have are that I am very good with kids and I enjoy helping kids and families, trainings that I have consist of, CPR and AED training for both infants and adults, food handler's certification and I have also already been fingerprinted through the state and I have my certification in being a mandated reporter.

Hi families! My name is Kaylee, and I’m an 18 year old with a big passion for working with kids. I graduated high school early and am now preparing to study childcare because caring for children has always felt like the right path for me. I currently live with my boyfriend and his mom, who are both very supportive of my goals. I love being a sitter because every child is unique, and I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and encouraging space where they can learn, play, and grow. I’ve gained experience caring for kids of different ages through family, friends, and neighborhood babysitting, and I’m always excited for new opportunities to learn more. I’m responsible, patient, and positive, and I aim to make families feel comfortable and supported. I have my own car, so transportation is never an issue, and I’m happy to help with anything extra you might need whether that’s light cleaning, homework help, errands, or keeping routines on track. I’d love the chance to get to know your family feel free to reach out with any questions!

Hello! I’m a reliable babysitter who has been working with children for more than 5 years.

I am flexible with my schedule. I do have experience with housekeeping and providing meals. ( hopefully Mexican food is alright with you, I do know how to make other meals) I have experience with traditional medicine. I will also provide tutoring if requested. Although I don’t have a car, I am more than willing to come to your house or have the child(ren) at my apartment. My salary is negotiable. Please ask me any questions you might have. I will do my best to answer all of them!

Keiko W.

Hi! My name is Keiko, and caring for kids has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. I attended Oklahoma State University, where I majored in Business Management with a concentration in Human Resources. Later, I felt called to healthcare, so I switched paths, attended nursing school, and earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I recently got engaged and moved to Edwardsville, IL, and I’m currently waiting to start my first nursing job as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse. I’ve always had a passion for children and even had a hard time deciding between teaching and my other degrees. Ultimately, I chose different fields — but I knew I would always find ways to be around and work with kids. Nursing allows me to do exactly that! Throughout college, I led the Foster Youth Advocates Club and worked as a support person in a Pre-K classroom that needed extra hands, especially with the littles. I also spent 10 weeks as a camp counselor at an overnight camp for children ages 5–13, where campers stayed for two weeks at a time. That experience gave me a deep understanding of caring for kids on a long-term, consistent basis. Alongside school, I worked with many local families doing school pick-ups and drop-offs, dentist appointments, after-school activities, haircuts, and everything in between. I love helping families in any way I can, and I take pride in being a positive role model for the children I care for. I truly believe it’s a privilege to be part of a child’s life and childhood — even in small ways — and I aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for every child I meet. I’d love the opportunity to partner with your family!

Hi I’m Maddison! I’m 24 years old and the mom to a 3 month old little boy. I live in the Alton area and I am looking to care for children within my home to allow me to stay with my little one. I have lovingly cooked, cleaned, played with and cared for children of all ages for years now and it is truly a passion of mine! I love to do crafts & learning activities with the children. I also carefully follow parents instructions regarding schedules, discipline, free time, etc. to insure your child/children’s time with me would be no different than their time at home. I’m reliable, hard working and always flexible with scheduling. Overall I strive to treat every child in my care as one of my own and would love the opportunity to help make the childcare process a happy & easy experience for any family I work for!
