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

Hi! I'm Iggy. I have 6 years of experience working with youth in professional environments. During the school year, I am a high school paraeducator. I'm a certified lifeguard, CPR/first-aid trained, and I have my youth mental health first aid certification. I have experience with ages 1-18, and have experience working with children with mental and physical disabilities. My favorite part of working with kids is helping them embrace their creativity and curiosity. I love finding what kiddos love to do and supporting them in it, whether it's building a pillow fort, reading aloud together, or playing outside. I respect the intelligence and independence of the kids I work with, and try to provide gentle, discovery-based guidance when needed. P.S. I used to work at an animal shelter and my house is basically a menagerie at any given time, so pets are a bonus and I'd love to help care for them as well!

I am a new grad student at UIUC and spent all of my high school and undergraduate years babysitting for many different families with large age ranges of kids from newborn-15!

Both of my parents are teachers so I have always had a passion for helping kids learn and grow! I have my own car and love to create fun experiences for kids!

Hi! I’m an attentive, dependable caregiver with experience working with children from infancy through preteens. I’ve spent years babysitting for families as well as working at children’s camps and school-based events, where I learned how to balance structure, creativity, and fun. I have experience supporting children with special needs and approach every child with patience, adaptability, and genuine care. Whether it’s managing routines, assisting with homework, or creating engaging activities, I focus on making each child feel safe, understood, and encouraged. What truly sets me apart is my authentic joy in watching children grow—their confidence, curiosity, and independence. I take pride in being a positive, trusted presence in a child’s day and someone parents can rely on with complete peace of mind.
