Find experienced babysitters in Towanda, IL

Hi, I’m Sydney, I’m 20 years old and have 8 years experience with kids aged 6 weeks - 12 years. I love baking, cooking, crafting, and being outdoors. I’ve always had a passion for kids as well as helping people when needed. So babysitting was an easy way for me to be able to do that. So whenever you are in need of a babysitter just let me know! I’ve worked at a daycare before, am cpr certified, and have lots of experience. I also have my own transportation.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Their creativity, energy, and curiosity make every day fun and different. I find it really rewarding to be a positive presence in a child’s life, whether it's helping with homework, playing games, or just being someone they can feel safe and happy around. I also love being part of their growth, even in small ways, and creating a safe, fun environment where they can thrive. I have over three years of experience working as a camp counselor, where I supervised and engaged groups of children in activities ranging from arts and crafts to outdoor games. Being a camp counselor has also given me the ability to problem solve and handle all types of situations. I’ve also spent a lot of time caring for my younger cousins, so I’m used to being hands-on with kids of different ages and personalities. These experiences have taught me how to manage routines, resolve conflicts gently, and keep kids entertained and safe. I’m very energetic, responsible, and quick to adapt. I know how to keep kids engaged with creative and age-appropriate activities, while also being mindful of their safety and emotional needs. I’ve learned a lot about communication, patience, and problem-solving from my camp counseling experience.
