Find experienced child care providers in Lexington, IL

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.

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.

Hello my name is Kelly Richardson, I am a U.S. Navy vet, single mom of 4 school aged children that’s looking for a job as something I already do at home, I’m ok with pet sitting, babysitting, and elder care sitting.I have prior experience in all of those categories. I used to babysit in my early 20s as well as pet sit/house sit before joining the military and recently took care of my grandmother last year before she passed away (cooking, cleaning, running errands, bathe, etc.) I’ve been an off and on stay at home mom for 12 years now, I find comfort in continuing to do the same thing outside of my home because I adore and love spending time with children, elders, pets and cleaning at times especially because it helps me burn my unwanted fat lol. The things that set me apart from most people is that I have a very genuine, caring, patient, loving, supportive, hardworking and passionate personality. I know that tackling the everyday keeping the house together on top of loved ones can be difficult at times especially while trying to establish a working life outside of the home but I can assure you that it’s a passion of mine and I will put my best foot forward on making sure that the family I’m working for feels that, and can come home worry and stress free like they should, especially if you’re the type to put the key in the key hole and dread walking into your home after a long day out at work. I’m here to lift one or many of your biggest loads off and make sure you can come home to a smile each and everyday.
