Hi I'm Courtney I recently moved to Champaign in August to live with my sister. I worked at a daycare up until moving here. I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to pursue working with kids. A couple things I enjoy are spending time with my family, going camping spending time outdoors and I love crafts. I have earned my CNA, First Aid, CPR and food handler certifications. I am so excited to start this new journey of my life!

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

I absolutely love being a sitter because I get to make a positive impact on children’s lives while helping families feel at ease. It’s a rewarding experience knowing I’m not only providing care but also offering companionship, fun, and a safe environment for kids to thrive. Seeing their smiles, hearing their laughter, and watching them grow makes it all worthwhile." I have several years of experience babysitting for families with children ranging from infants to pre-teens. I’ve also assisted with homework, meal preparation, and light housework. My experience has helped me develop strong communication skills with both children and parents, ensuring the family’s needs are always met. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which gives me the confidence to handle emergency situations. I also have training in child development, so I understand how to approach different age groups and engage with them in ways that suit their needs. Additionally, I am skilled at managing routines, helping with educational activities, and fostering positive behavior.

Hi! I’m a psychology student at the University of Illinois with a strong passion for working with children—and over three years of hands-on experience. I’ve had the privilege of babysitting for my professor’s children, which taught me the value of patience, empathy, and consistency in a child’s life. These experiences, combined with my academic studies, have inspired me to pursue a career in children’s therapy. I’m deeply motivated by the idea of helping young people navigate challenges, build resilience, and feel truly understood. My goal is to specialize in child and adolescent therapy, where I can create safe, supportive spaces for kids to grow emotionally and mentally. I’m excited to keep learning, connecting, and making a real difference in the lives of children and their families.
