Hi I am a behavior technician that works with kids with disabilities, specifically kids with autism. I have experience working in clinics with children teaching them lifestyle skills like potty training, feeding, cleaning, and overall more independence in their daily lives. I would say that I am set apart from others because I have the experience with different ages of children, go to school for development of children, and have worked with children with disabilities.

Hello! I’m a reliable babysitter who has been working with children for more than 5 years. Although I am young and currently studying in a trade program, I have experience with children of all ages and wish to provide you with the care your children deserve while you take a break, catch up on sleep/ work or have a date night! 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!

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.

I've been pouring into the lives of the youth since grade school- starting with caring for my younger cousins since they they were born to when to adolescence (teens) by learning hands-on from their parents. Since then, I've babysat for neighbors, worked as a before and after school child care assistant for 3rd and 5th graders, and even mentored elementary students on self-esteem and emotional regulation. I'm CPR, First Aid and AED certified (adult & pediatric), I have relable transportation and am licenced, and I'm confident with everything from diaper changes to meals and bedtime routines and helping kids overall. I truly love being a sitter, it fills me with purpose and joy to support children and their families with patience, care, positive energy, and empathy.

I genuinely love being a sitter because caring for children brings me so much joy. I love helping them learn, laugh, and grow in safe and supportive environments. As a nursing student and oldest daughter of eight children, nurturing and being attentive comes naturally to me, and babysitting gives me the chance to pour that same care into families who trust me with their little ones. I find it rewarding to build bonds with kids and give parents peace of mind knowing their children are in good hands. I’ve been caring for children of all ages through volunteer work, family friends, and community programs for several years. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. From bottle-feeding and diaper changes to homework help and bedtime routines. Through my involvement with organizations like DREAAM, I’ve supported children from diverse backgrounds, helped with tutoring, and organized fun learning activities. As a nursing major at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, I’m trained in health and safety practices, including CPR and first aid principles. I’m attentive, organized, and great at communication, which are skills that help me connect with both kids and parents. My background in leadership roles on campus has strengthened my ability to manage routines, stay calm under pressure, and handle multiple responsibilities with care. I also love creative activities, helping with schoolwork, and keeping children engaged in positive ways.

Hi! My name is Maeve Heumann and I am 22 yr old recent college graduate living in Edwardsville, IL. I've always loved kids so much and been drawn to their energy and imaginative nature. For 10 years, I've been a regular Babysitter/Nanny for all the local families in my neighborhood, and gone on to be a regular Nanny for families with infant children and energetic toddlers. I have no problem with high energy or multiple children, and love interacting and playing with kids while forming friendships. I have experience as a YMCA Camp Attendant and a full-time Summer Camp Counselor at Camp Ondessonk, making me CPR certified. I've also spent some time as a Party Princess, so Disney and similar characters are part of my expertise! I'm an Animation major, so I love watching cartoons and drawing with kids! I have no problems with pets, and have a car of my own for driving kids wherever they need to go (seatbelts required :)) I'm an energetic and friendly person, and love the children that I spend time and bond with. I'm responsible and dedicated and will happily work to the special needs and schedule of my clients. My schedule is very flexible and looking for full-time work.
