Caroline T., Babysitter in Mechanicsburg, IL 62545 with 2 years of paid experience

I'm a 22-year-old pre-med student looking to make some extra cash before medical school! I have experience babysitting for my niece (6) and nephew (9) since they were babies and working at a summer camp with 60 kids ages 5-12. I love all ages of kids but especially 4-7! I'm very comfortable with multiple kids and pets. I love getting to teach kids new skills and come up with fun crafts or games to keep them entertained! I'd be happy to help around the house with chores, cleaning, or cooking as well. Looking for up to 10 hours a week or as needed in the afternoons and early evenings as I work a full-time job at St. Johns from 4am-12:30pm Mon-Fri and every fourth weekend.

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!

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
