HI! MY NAME IS JASMIN, AND I’M AN 19-YEAR-OLD ASPIRING NANNY WITH A STRONG PASSION FOR CARING FOR CHILDREN. I’M CURRENTLY IN SCHOOL WORKING TOWARD BECOMING A PEDIATRIC RADIOLOGIST, WHICH HAS DEEPENED MY INTEREST IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT, SAFETY, AND OVERALL WELL-BEING. I HAVE COMPLETED ONE YEAR OF TEACHING AND BABYSITTING CLASSES, WHERE I LEARNED HOW TO CREATE SAFE, ENGAGING, AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENTS FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON GETTING MY CPR/ FIRST AID CERTIFICATE.I TRULY LOVE BABYSITTING BECAUSE I ENJOY BUILDING MEANINGFUL BONDS WITH CHILDREN WHILE HELPING THEM LEARN, GROW, AND FEEL SUPPORTED. A DAY IN MY CARE INCLUDES FUN AND STRUCTURED ACTIVITIES SUCH AS ARTS AND CRAFTS, READING, LEARNING GAMES, AND CREATIVE PLAY, ALONG WITH MAINTAINING ROUTINES LIKE MEAL PREP, LIGHT COOKING, CLEANING UP, DIAPER CHANGES, AND BEDTIME SCHEDULES. I TAKE PRIDE IN BEING PATIENT, RESPONSIBLE, AND ATTENTIVE, WHILE ALWAYS MAKING SURE CHILDREN FEEL COMFORTABLE AND HAPPY. I WOULD LOVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUPPORT A FAMILY BY PROVIDING RELIABLE, LOVING, AND ENGAGING IN-HOME CARE.

I graduated college in 2022 with a degree in Culinary Arts. I’m very energetic mother of 3 and extremely passionate about kiddos! Safety is always a priority of mine. I’m skilled in meal prep, diaper changing, helping with homework, productive hands on activities, sleep tactics/etc. I do have a vehicle, so providing transportation or light grocery shopping is no problem for me. I’m a very patient person, with a fun bubbly personality. Feel free to reach out with any further questions or concerns!

Shannon O., Child Care in Macon, IL 62544 with 15 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Shannon, but most people call me "Shay", and I bring a lifelong love of working with children into every caregiving role I take on. My journey began at age 12, babysitting for my neighbors’ kids, and has since grown into a deep and diverse career that includes teaching, nannying, and—most importantly—being a mother to two incredible children of my own. With a background in Musical Theatre (B.F.A. from The New School), dance, education, meditation, and yoga, I aim to strike a balance between playful creativity and calm presence. I’m certified in CPR/AED, trauma-informed care, and yoga and meditation, and I’m in the process of renewing my First Aid certification. These tools help me create a safe, nurturing, and grounded environment for the children I care for. I believe in meeting children where they are, listening deeply, and encouraging their natural curiosity about the world. Whether that means exploring outside, diving into imaginative play, or finding calm through a breathing exercise, I adapt my care to the unique needs and energy of each child. I'm happy to pitch in with household chores, and I’m also a pet lover, and a licensed driver. I'm currently looking for part-time opportunities so I can balance caregiving with quality time with my own children. If you're seeking someone who brings both heart and skill to your family, I’d love to connect!
