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!

Knowing I can positively influence a child's life is what drives my passion for childcare. For nine years, I have supported families by providing reliable care for children aged newborn to 12 years old. I have experience with special needs children, and I am trained in First Aid and CPR. 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

I am a 26 year old student from Germany, I am living in America since 2022 and I am raising my almost three year old son here. I refreshed my CPR and BBP Course and am certificate. I have reliable transportation and could drive your kid to school or pick it up. My son and I enjoy going on walks in the Carpenterspark or making friends at playgrounds. Some days we go to Ergadoozy and on other days we stay at home and do art projects. Anyway, I would love to help you out!

I absolutely love being a sitter because it's such a rewarding experience to connect with kids and help them learn and grow. Knowing I can make a positive impact on a child's day and provide a safe, fun environment is what drives my passion. I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. This includes everything from meal prep and homework help to organizing fun activities and ensuring their safety. I've also handled various responsibilities like managing bedtimes, following specific dietary needs, and providing basic first aid when needed. I'm skilled in creating engaging and educational activities that cater to different age groups. I am ready to obtain CPR and First Aid certification quickly if needed for the job. My goal is to not only provide excellent care but also to help children develop and explore their interests.

Hello :) I'm Ness and thank you for visiting my profile. I'm a 27-year-old from Indiana that plans to pursue graduate school in Marriage, Child, & Family Counseling MA, during Fall 2026. I'd describe my personality as calm, whimsical, and active. I have a lot of chill moments, but know how to match energy levels of children in my care. I currently hold a Bachelors degree in Human Development & Family Studies earned in 2020. In my spare time, I like to listen to music, study German, play video games, go hiking, watch anime and practice yoga. My caregiving skills include learning through imagination play, tutoring with homework, and toilet training. Most of my experience is with infants - 18, but can watch after vulnerable adults as well.

I have been babysitting part-time for over 20 years. I have experience babysitting children with asthma, severe allergies, and ADHD. I feel comfortable babysitting for all age groups and genders. I have watched up to 5 children at one time. I can help prepare meals, clean, do laundry, transport kids to/from school and events, and run errands. I have familiarity with American Sign Language. I grew up with animals and feel comfortable watching them as well. I work full-time in Springfield Monday through Friday 8am-5pm, so I am looking for a family to help out on nights and weekends. I have reliable transportation and do not smoke.
