Hi! I'm Iggy. I've worked as a babysitter, nanny, after school counselor, and outdoor education instructor. 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. I'm new to the Champaign-Urbana area and would love to connect with some local families! 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!

Hi everyone! I recently graduated from University of Illinois in December and I'm looking for babysitting and nannying jobs during the upcoming spring semester (January 19-May 16).

Hello! I started working with kids when I was 10 years old babysitting cousins and siblings. I have worked at 2 daycares in Champaign, and I have a lot of experience working with special needs children and adults. I am currently working with a baby regularly that is 15 months old, I’ve been working with him since he was just 4 months old and I love having been able to see him grow! I'd describe my personality as fun, intuitive, and caring. I love connecting with children and employers as if we are all family. I care not only for children but also for parents. I very much enjoy hearing about your workdays and any recreational activities that you participate in. My skills include socio-emotional education and grounding techniques, conscious discipline, and the awareness of child development in regard to age appropriate education and recreational activities. I have an opening in my availability since one of my families no longer needs my care. I tend to be loyal to several families at a time and balance myself between them (seamlessly, might I add ;)

I have my CDA, Paraprofessional certification, & CPR certification. I have worked in daycare settings, school settings, & home based babysitting. I have references as well.

I’m a dependable and caring babysitter who loves creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for children.

Parents can count on me to be responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely invested in their child’s well-being.

Hello! My name is Shay and I am a 24-year-old from Illinois graduating in early May 2026 from the University of Illinois with a degree in Political Science. I have been a nanny for a few families over the span of 5 years; and have loved every second of it. Children have always been the joy of my life.
