Find experienced babysitters in Philo, IL

Hi! I'm Iggy. I've worked as a babysitter, nanny, after school counselor, and outdoor education instructor. I'm a certified lifeguard, CPR/first-aid trained, and I have my youth mental health first aid certification. I have experience with ages 1-18, and have experience working with children with mental and physical disabilities. I'm new to the Champaign-Urbana area and would love to connect with some local families! My favorite part of working with kids is helping them embrace their creativity and curiosity. I love finding what kiddos love to do and supporting them in it, whether it's building a pillow fort, reading aloud together, or playing outside. I respect the intelligence and independence of the kids I work with, and try to provide gentle, discovery-based guidance when needed. P.S. I used to work at an animal shelter and my house is basically a menagerie at any given time, so pets are a bonus and I'd love to help care for them as well!

I have been a caretaker as early as I can remember. I started babysitting for children in my neighborhood in middle school. I went to college and obtained my degree in Early Childhood Education. I raised three daughters of my own. The majority of my jobs over the past twenty five years have been caring for young children. I have acquired some great experience and lessons over the years. My strengths are my patience and reliability. I love singing and reading to children. Taking long nature walks is one of my favorite activities to share with children. If you would like to talk further;. Please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. Thanks so much! Ellen Buetow

Hi! I am currently a medical student on a leave of absence, and I truly enjoy working with children. I love being a sitter because I get to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment, whether that’s through play, helping with learning, or just being a reliable and caring presence. I have experience caring for children in both personal and volunteer settings, including engaging them in activities, helping with their routines, and ensuring their safety and well-being. I’m happy to assist with light cleaning, homework help, and structured activities when needed. My medical training has given me a strong foundation in safety, attention to detail, and communication, and I bring a calm, responsible, and attentive approach to every family I work with. I’d love to connect and set up a call to see if I’d be a good fit for your family!

Hi! My name is Katya and I'm a sophomore at UIUC. I'm majoring in Cognitive Neuroscience in Psychology and minoring in Ecology and Wildlife Conservation. I'm a super social person and I love to do anything creative. I have a car on campus and I have experience in driving kids to activities, coaching gymnastics, and babysitting. I began working with kids when I was a gymnast on my high school team. Throughout the year we had a program called Junior Wildkits where I worked to help coach younger kids. In the summer I was a camp counselor for the same program. This past year I worked for a summer camp specializing in kids with disabilities of all kinds, and while I wasn't a counselor, I was the photographer and would often help out the counselors in entertaining and interacting with the kids. Through this company I became CPR and First Aid certified. In my free time, I'm very art involved and aspiring to be a photographer. My roommates and I love to craft and try out new DIYs or go on little adventures around town. I love to play sports like soccer or watch fun movies and I absolutely adore cats! I have 2 cats at home but I've always wanted a dog too.

I’m a college graduate with a degree in psychology and experience working with children as an ESL teacher assistant, summer camp leader, and babysitter.
