Hi! I’m Kathryn, a caring and reliable Babysitter with a passion for working with children. I’m 19 years old and currently studying Special Education at Illinois State University. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a camp counselor through the park district, where I’ve had the joy of leading and supervising kids ages 8–13 on fun, safe adventures around town. My experience has taught me how to balance fun with responsibility—keeping kids engaged, entertained, and above all, safe. I’m CPR and AED certified, and I pride myself on being patient, compassionate, and supportive in every interaction. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housework, grocery shopping, and homework support. I understand how busy life can be, and I’m here to make things easier for both you and your kids. I look forward to bringing positive energy and reliable care into your home!
