Hi there! I'm Oyin. I recently earned my degree in psychology and my masters in social work , and I have been caring for children for 12 years as a babysitter and worked a bright horizon and rainbows end. I have a lot of experience working with infants-school age, and I also spent three years babysitting a six-year-old girl on the autism spectrum. I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. Nothing makes me happier than running into someone who I used to babysit and remembering all the fun times we had together! I can provide references upon request. I'd love to meet you and get to know your children.

Hello! I’m an experienced, responsible, and caring babysitter with a background in childcare and education. I have hands-on experience as an assistant teacher and have taken many child based classes, so I’m comfortable with multitasking, staying attentive, and handling unexpected situations. My approach to babysitting is all about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids of all ages. I love to encourage creativity, support learning, and foster a positive atmosphere. Safety and attention to detail are top priorities, and I’m always ready to lend a helping hand.

Hello! I am a current university student and am excited to start working in my community. Although I am new to professional childcare, I have babysat my cousins, neighbors, and elementary school children from my small town. I have worked at an after-school care program, helping kids with their homework, and while I am not certified, I have always been my household's go-to "nurse." I am ready to create positive childcare experiences and am happy to support your families to the best of my abilities!

Hey! My name is Ilknur, I know it’s a little different. I grew up in St.Louis and I went to SIU for English. My first job was at a daycare in St.Louis. I worked with newborns, toddlers and school age children. I was responsible for changing diapers, bottle feeding and making sure the newborns had their naps. In addition, I was also a Lead Teacher at Malone's Daycare in Carterville, IL for the 2 year old classroom. This role required lesson planning, being creative and was fast paced. I’m punctual, organized and very patient. I’m always on time and I don’t like being late. Most importantly I’m reliable and I take accountability for my actions like any adult should.

Hi, My name is Eily Stoops! I am a freshman in college at SIU Carbondale! My major is Speech Language Pathology, and my dream is to work with young children! I believe babysitting during my studies will ultimately help me in my long term goal. I was a lifeguard for about 4 years before coming to college. I am certified in AED, CPR and First Aid. I absolutely adore children. I also have a brother that is 13 years younger than me, and is 7 now. I feel like I basically helped my mother raise him, so that definitely gave me some more experience! I would love to meet your families and ultimately be trusted to care for your children! Please feel free to reach out!

I'm currently a college student pursuing a degree in Nutrition. I have a solid background in early childhood development, with additional skills relating to healthcare and midwifery. I've been helping care for children from the age of 10, starting with family members, then moving on to routine babysitting gigs, and eventually spending time with families as their long term nanny. I am happy to help with the household by taking children to the doctor, taking minor care of pets, going grocery shopping, tutoring, starting dinner, or doing light housekeeping like dishes or laundry if time permits.
