Find experienced babysitters in Philo, IL

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'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 babysitting on and off since I was 14! I have watched all age groups and have helped out friends of my parents, teachers, and people who just genuinely need a sitter last minute. I love kids and I love working with kids. I am a college student and have always worked. Helping out with kids has always been something I loved so when parents need a helping hand i’m willing to do so. I am very flexible and I do work another job but it is also very flexible.

Hi! My name is Jessica. I am 37 yrs. I work fulltime (in the evening) as a Data Analyst. I am interested in engaging with children to bring purpose back to my life. I miss so many different aspects of childcare/ teaching. Looking forward to connecting! Be Well, Jessica

I love helping with kids! I grew up helping with my grandmas daycare and have been helping almost my whole life. I’m very patient and can help with things like picking them up from school, helping with homework or just watching them at home.

I love being a sitter because I enjoy caring for children and helping them feel safe, happy, and supported. Watching kids learn, grow, and express their personalities is very rewarding, and I take pride in being someone families can trust and rely on. I have experience caring for children of different ages, helping with daily routines such as meals, playtime, homework, and bedtime. I have spent time supervising kids, keeping them engaged in fun activities, and making sure they are safe and comfortable at all times. I have strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills that help me handle different situations calmly. I am attentive, responsible, and good at following instructions. I understand basic child safety, routines, and how to provide a positive and nurturing environment.

Hi everyone! I recently graduated from University of Illinois in December and I'm looking for babysitting and nannying jobs during the upcoming spring semester (January 19-May 16). I won't be taking classes, so my schedule will be very open and I can accommodate a variety of days and times. I love working with kids and have been babysitting since I was 12! For the past 4 years, I also coached gymnastics and diving with kids ages 2-16. Additionally, I have a reliable car to help out with any drop-off or pick-ups! Please reach out if you have any questions!
