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.

I'm reliable, responsible, and great at multitasking, whether it’s helping with homework, playing games, or preparing snacks! I have worked with children through an after school program where I worked with all ages and I also was a lead camp counselor for 1st graders the past 2 summers! I’m excited to be able to help out where I can!

I’m a responsible, patient, and caring sitter with years of hands-on childcare experience, including paid babysitting in New York City and extensive experience caring for cousins and neighbors’ children. I’ve worked with children of different ages, helping with daily routines, meals, homework, bedtime, and potty training, while creating a safe and supportive environment. I’m currently preparing for medical school, which reflects my strong sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and commitment to care. I enjoy helping with academic enrichment, homework support, and engaging activities that support children’s growth and confidence. I’m also very comfortable with pets as I have a cat of my own who is truly my little baby, and I’m happy to help with pet care as well. In addition to childcare, I’m glad to assist with light household help to support families’ routines. I have open availability, am flexible with scheduling, and pride myself on being dependable, calm, and communicative. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with children and supporting families with thoughtful, reliable care.
