Kennedy helped us out last minute and the children were sad when she left. She was prompt, communicative and went above and beyond looking out for our 1 and 4 year old. Highly recommend!

Hi! I'm a sophomore at Illinois State University majoring in Health Sciences, with hopes of becoming a pediatric occupational therapist! I have 5 years of babysitting and childcare experience working with children from toddlers to teenagers. I've also spent the past two summers as an Inclusion Counselor at Sunrise Day Camp, where I worked closely with children with disabilities, including autism. During high school, I also had the opportunity to work with students in our special education program, which helped grow my passion for working with kids of all abilities! I love building meaningful connections with children and creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can be themselves. Whether it's doing crafts, playing games, helping with homework, or just spending time together, I always try to make every experience enjoyable! I'm also comfortable with meal prep, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping. I've completed and passed my CPR, First Aid, and AED courses and exams and am currently waiting to receive my official certification. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Hi, my name is Sarah. I have been working with children in various ways for several years now. My background is in elementary education with an ESL endorsement. However, I've worked in an early education center, first, as a preschool teacher, and then a toddler teacher. I have also worked as a child entertainer at Great Wolf Lodge. I am currently going to ISU for communication sciences and disorders with the goal of being a speech therapist. With my education and experience, I know different ways to help your kiddos grow. I can help children work on their regular math and reading, and I can also help to advance their social and emotional health. I have worked with all ages, so I am excited to potentially get to help more children grow and develop. That is my passion. I am hoping to find a family who can be flexible with my school schedule. I am also available for night and weekend care. Please contact me with any questions.
