Hello :) I'm Ness and thank you for visiting my profile. I'm a 27-year-old from Indiana that plans to pursue graduate school in Marriage, Child, & Family Counseling MA, during Fall 2026. I'd describe my personality as calm, whimsical, and active. I have a lot of chill moments, but know how to match energy levels of children in my care. I currently hold a Bachelors degree in Human Development & Family Studies earned in 2020. In my spare time, I like to listen to music, study German, play video games, go hiking, watch anime and practice yoga. My caregiving skills include learning through imagination play, tutoring with homework, and toilet training. Most of my experience is with infants - 18, but can watch after vulnerable adults as well.

Hi my name is Sage! I am 24 and live with my partner and two dogs in Springfield, IL. I have had a passion for childcare since i was a child myself! I grew up with 4 sisters and many cousins I watched regularly. I was in the Navy for 2 years before becoming a nanny and eventually working at a daycare here in town! I am looking for a nanny/babsitting job because I prefer more one-on-one to really teach and care for children as they need. I have alot of experience with autistic children and special needs children. I am currently studying psychology to become a child therapist eventually! I do not smoke, i have my own car, and CPR certification. I love cleaning and organizing so i am always more then happy to help with anything around the house!

Hi, my name is Aydriel Maxwell, and I'm a compassionate and experienced nanny based in Springfield, Illinois. I am available M-F from 7am - 10pm and Sat & Sun from 8am - 7pm. What truly sets me apart is my extensive experience working with individuals across a wide age range, from newborns all the way to adults up to 75 years old. This stems from my background as a Support Teacher and DSP Supervisor, where I developed a deep understanding of diverse needs and effective communication strategies. This experience has also provided me with training and practical application in conscious discipline techniques, de-escalation strategies and positive reinforcement, which I believe are essential for fostering a safe and respectful environment for children. I am confident I can help guide my charges to choose proper behavior and maintain a safe environment. My approach to childcare is rooted in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment, encouraging independence, promoting learning through play. I am skilled at meal prep, age-appropriate activities, homework help, light housekeeping. I also have experience caring for multiple children at once, with experience planning activities for each stage of development. I am patient, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and enriching experience for the children in my care. I have reliable transportation and a safe driving record. I am CPR and First Aid certified. My rate is $20 per hour, and I am available to provide references upon request. I have a profile picture available and look forward to connecting with families who are seeking a dedicated and caring nanny!

I absolutely love being a sitter because it's such a rewarding experience to connect with kids and help them learn and grow. Knowing I can make a positive impact on a child's day and provide a safe, fun environment is what drives my passion. I have several years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre-teens. This includes everything from meal prep and homework help to organizing fun activities and ensuring their safety. I've also handled various responsibilities like managing bedtimes, following specific dietary needs, and providing basic first aid when needed. I'm skilled in creating engaging and educational activities that cater to different age groups. I am ready to obtain CPR and First Aid certification quickly if needed for the job. My goal is to not only provide excellent care but also to help children develop and explore their interests.
