Hello! I’m Carla Morrison, and I’ve been a nanny for over 10 years. My journey in child care has been incredibly rewarding, and I’ve had the privilege of working with children of all ages—from infants to pre-teens. I’m passionate about creating a nurturing and safe environment where kids can thrive, learn, and have fun. Experience & Approach: Throughout my career, I’ve developed a deep understanding of child development and know how to adjust my approach to meet the unique needs of each child I care for. Whether it's helping with homework, organizing arts and crafts, or planning outdoor activities, I always aim to keep things engaging and educational while ensuring the children are having a blast. I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and responsive to both the needs of the kids and the parents. What I Offer: * Personalized care for children of all ages * Expertise in creating a structured yet fun routine * Meal prep, light housekeeping, and organizing * First Aid and CPR certified for your peace of mind * An ability to communicate openly and work as a team with parents Why I Love What I Do: Being a nanny is more than just a job for me—it's a chance to be part of a child’s growth and development. I love building meaningful connections with the kids I care for, and I take pride in providing a calm and supportive environment where they feel safe and encouraged. I’m a big believer in creating positive memories, whether it's through play, learning, or just spending quality time together.

Hi! My name is Alexis & I love babysitting as it’s something I just grew up doing. I’m a (soon to be) freshman in college studying to become a lawyer! I love making a connection with kids and teaching them new things (also love learning from kids lol!) I have experience from my 4 younger cousins since they were toddlers. I love to watch movies (seen Moana WAY too many times), play board games, and dance. My friends would describe me as patient, energetic, and just have a bright personality all together. Please don’t hesitate to contact me.

I am currently a college student going for my RN. I love being a sitter because I enjoy getting to help out the kids as they learn and become the people they’re going to be and seeing how much they progress even through the little bit of time I may see them for. I have watched my 4 younger sisters for the past 4 years, babysat coworkers toddlers, babysit newborns/toddlers all the time. I have my cpr training along with my cna.

Olivia H., Child Care in Mechanicsburg, IL 62545 with 15 years of paid experience

I started babysitting when I was 10 years old. I am 30 and within those 20 years I babysat, was a traveling nanny, coached gymnastics, and worked full time at a day care in springfield while continuing to watch friends kids. I have been CPR certified in the past multiple times but I do believe I would need to renew it. I would be able to administer it if needed. I own 2 business, in the process of starting a non profit and work in my husband's health coaching business. I am looking for something that is more time flexible.
