Grace C., Babysitter in Mechanicsburg, IL 62545 with 1 year of paid experience

I’m a 19 year old with plenty of childcare experience. I completed 4 years of a Teaching Class in High school while shadowing a special needs pre-k class & worked in a Preschool for almost a year! I’ve also baby sat on the side since i was 15! I love connecting with the kids & getting to know them personally. I find when teaching children new things it’s always important that they’re taught with their personal needs in mind!

Sage P., Babysitter in Mechanicsburg, IL 62545 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi my name is Sage! I am 24 and live with my partner and two dogs in Springfield, IL. I have had a passion for childcare since i was a child myself! I grew up with 4 sisters and many cousins I watched regularly. I was in the Navy for 2 years before becoming a nanny and eventually working at a daycare here in town! I am looking for a nanny/babsitting job because I prefer more one-on-one to really teach and care for children as they need. I have alot of experience with autistic children and special needs children. I am currently studying psychology to become a child therapist eventually! I do not smoke, i have my own car, and CPR certification. I love cleaning and organizing so i am always more then happy to help with anything around the house!

My background includes some college coursework in Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Hospital Administration course work. I find great joy in helping children learn and grow, and I hope to bring that same joy to your family.

I am 42 years old and have 2 little dogs that are my entire world. Never been married or had the blessing to have any children due to a genetic disorder. I was lucky to have a great career for over 15 years in the Dental field as a Surgical Assistant. It was 2019 when I decided to become a personal nanny, helping families, children, and infants is not work to me it’s something I was blessed to do for the last 4 years for 2 amazing families. Thank you for taking the time to hear a little about myself. Jessica

Kimberly C., Babysitter in Mechanicsburg, IL 62545 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Kim. I am 36 years old and currently a paraprofessional in a special education classroom in Chatham. I recently had my 5th child (starting over, my other kids are 9,12,14, and 18). I also do personal support work with a young lady with intellectual disabilities part time. I have a drivers licenses and reliable transportation, I am cpr certified, and have background checks run yearly for my job. I can provide many referrals. I am also a full time online student at LLCC and switching to UIS in the fall. I am majoring in special education and am about halfway through my education. I love being outside, doing arts and crafts, and lots of playing. I am hoping to find a new career while I finish school where I am able to provide babysitting or personal care assistance and be able to bring my now 3 month old daughter with me as opposed to putting her in daycare. If I was working with my daughter I would be available for any times. Please let me know if you would be interested in meeting.
