I’ve been babysitting for a family in my home town for about 5 years now. I started when their oldest was 2 and youngest wasn’t born yet. I also have 3 brothers myself and a single mom so I’m very experience when it comes to everything. I’m currently a college student at SIUC studying Radiology and am looking for something to help bring in cash to pay for my schooling. I love kids and am very helpful when it comes to tidying up around the house as-well. I also have 3 dogs myself so pets of any kind are no issue at all.

Hi, My name is Eily Stoops! I am a freshman in college at SIU Carbondale! My major is Speech Language Pathology, and my dream is to work with young children! I believe babysitting during my studies will ultimately help me in my long term goal. I was a lifeguard for about 4 years before coming to college. I am certified in AED, CPR and First Aid. I absolutely adore children. I also have a brother that is 13 years younger than me, and is 7 now. I feel like I basically helped my mother raise him, so that definitely gave me some more experience! I would love to meet your families and ultimately be trusted to care for your children! Please feel free to reach out!

I’m a responsible, patient, and caring sitter with years of hands-on childcare experience, including paid babysitting in New York City and extensive experience caring for cousins and neighbors’ children. I’ve worked with children of different ages, helping with daily routines, meals, homework, bedtime, and potty training, while creating a safe and supportive environment. I’m currently preparing for medical school, which reflects my strong sense of responsibility, attentiveness, and commitment to care. I enjoy helping with academic enrichment, homework support, and engaging activities that support children’s growth and confidence. I’m also very comfortable with pets as I have a cat of my own who is truly my little baby, and I’m happy to help with pet care as well. In addition to childcare, I’m glad to assist with light household help to support families’ routines. I have open availability, am flexible with scheduling, and pride myself on being dependable, calm, and communicative. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with children and supporting families with thoughtful, reliable care.
