I’ve been babysitting for a family in my home town for about 5 years now. I started when their oldest was 2 and youngest wasn’t born yet. I also have 3 brothers myself and a single mom so I’m very experience when it comes to everything. I’m currently a college student at SIUC studying Radiology and am looking for something to help bring in cash to pay for my schooling. I love kids and am very helpful when it comes to tidying up around the house as-well. I also have 3 dogs myself so pets of any kind are no issue at all.

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!

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.

I genuinely love children and I have always instantly connected with them. Even as a child I was helping take care of children due to my mother owning two of her own daycares. I am first aide & cpr certified as well as safe serv (food safety) certified.

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.
