Find experienced babysitters in Metamora, IL

Hi there! I'm the oldest of five children, so caring for little ones has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've volunteered in church nurseries and Sunday school classrooms since I was 12 years old, and I still volunteer every Sunday at my family's church. I've also been babysitting professionally since I was around 14 and spent a year working at a before-and-after-school childcare program. I'm certified in CPR, first aid, and EpiPen administration, and I've completed Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) training through Illinois Central College. Above all, I genuinely love working with children. There's something incredibly rewarding about helping shape young minds and watching children discover the world around them. Their curiosity, kindness, and ability to find joy in the smallest things are what make childcare so special to me. My goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where your children feel comfortable, valued, and cared for. I look forward to meeting your family!

I’d make a fantastic nanny because I genuinely love working with children and have a real knack for creating a fun, safe, and stimulating environment for them.

Plus, I'm great at coming up with creative activities and helping with homework, making sure every day is both engaging and productive.

The reason I love being a sitter is because I love helping kids learn, have fun, and feel safe while giving parents peace of mind. I love bonding with new and different personalities because all kids bring joy . What experience do I have? I have experience working with children of different ages and abilities (experience with Autistic children that have been clinically diagnosed) , including as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) , and I’ve cared for younger siblings and family members. What skills and training do I have? I’m patient, dependable, and experienced with behavior support. I also understand child safety, HIPAA, CPR/ First aid and AED and how to create a positive, supportive environment.

For over a decade I have enjoyed loving and caring for children of all ages. Toddlers and infants are my very favorite! I look forward to meeting new little ones and families!

I am a student at the University of Illinois, and have 7 years of official childcare experience. As the second oldest of four, even before I was able to take paid jobs, taking care of people (particularly childcare) has always been a key part of who I am. I have extensive experience, ranging from infants to a highschool student with Down Syndrome, including a summer spent as a nearly full-time nanny to a family with three children. I'm extremely comfortable working with food, gardens, and all things creative. As a multi-instrumentalist and a dancer, I offer a multitude of fun activities and ideas for entertainment and learning. I was home-educated throughout much of my life, and spent many hours learning about education and child development. I am passionate about encouraging active play and creating engaging learning for children of all ages. Please feel free to contact me for references or to set up an interview!

I am currently a freshman in college studying massage therapy. I grew up with 2 brothers and a sister so I am very comfortable around kids. I have had a local babysitting/dogsitting job for my neighbors and family for a few years now and love caring for those around me.

I am available for part-time care, last minute care (back up care) as well as sick care.
