Hi there! My name is Rolynn, and I am a 23 year-old animal lover. I am looking for babysitting opportunities to take up most of my free time and would like to highlight some of my qualities that could be of interest to you. With my background as a former maid & vet tech and growing up with a large family, I don't mind helping out with cleaning up around the house. I also believe that children benefit from having limited screen time, which is why I enjoy engaging them in crafts and other activities. If you prefer, I can bring my own materials at a small extra cost or use yours - whichever you like. I believe that communication is key, and I am always happy to discuss and plan ahead with you to have the best game plan in place for any babysitting sessions. I am originally from Chicago, but I have been living in dixon with my furry friends for about a year now. Apart from my dogs, I also have an extensive collection of pets, which includes a tarantula, three chameleons, a teddy bear hamster, a ball python, three large fish tanks and a savannah monitor & more! I love animals and enjoy spending time with them. I would describe myself as an outgoing and cheerful individual. I am also very patient and can handle challenging situations well. I believe in keeping a positive attitude and always keep calm under pressure.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy building connections with kids and being part of their growth. It’s really rewarding to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they can learn, play, and feel comfortable being themselves. I also enjoy helping families by giving them peace of mind knowing their child is in good hands. I have experience working with children in both structured and one-on-one settings. I’ve worked as a substitute teacher in elementary classrooms and as a one-on-one paraprofessional, supporting students with different learning and behavioral needs. I’ve also worked with kids in more relaxed environments, supervising play, helping with routines, and supporting social skills. These experiences have helped me become patient, flexible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I have strong communication, patience, and behavior management skills, especially from working in school settings. I’m experienced in creating structured routines, helping with homework, and using positive reinforcement to guide behavior. I also have training in supporting diverse learners, including children with different abilities and language needs. I’m dependable, organized, and focused on making sure children are safe, engaged, and cared for at all times.

I enjoy expanding kids minds and being apart of their development so they aren’t lacking when the parents are busy providing for them I hope to make life easier and be a huge helping hand
