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!

If you are looking for a reliable, organized and caring child care provider, please feel free to reach out!

Hi! I’m a psychology student at the University of Illinois with a strong passion for working with children—and over three years of hands-on experience. I’ve had the privilege of babysitting for my professor’s children, which taught me the value of patience, empathy, and consistency in a child’s life. These experiences, combined with my academic studies, have inspired me to pursue a career in children’s therapy. I’m deeply motivated by the idea of helping young people navigate challenges, build resilience, and feel truly understood. My goal is to specialize in child and adolescent therapy, where I can create safe, supportive spaces for kids to grow emotionally and mentally. I’m excited to keep learning, connecting, and making a real difference in the lives of children and their families.

I’m a college graduate with a degree in psychology and experience working with children as an ESL teacher assistant, summer camp leader, and babysitter. I’m CPR certified, speak multiple languages, and love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for kids of all ages. I’m dependable, patient, and passionate about helping children learn and grow. Available for weeknight and weekend babysitting—feel free to reach out!

Hi! I’m Tajane’a, and I’ve been working with children for over a decade, starting from when I was around 10 years old. I have experience babysitting through Wyndy, where I’ve had the pleasure of working with a variety of families, including children with special needs. I’m Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED certified and committed to creating a safe, calm, and engaging environment for every child in my care. I currently work at a public library where I develop youth programs that combine creativity, learning, and fun. I’m also pursuing my Master’s in Library and Information Science with a focus on Youth Services. Working with children is truly both my passion and my career path. I love bringing that same creativity and care into babysitting, whether that’s through crafts, reading, cooking, imaginative play, or just sticking to a routine that helps your child feel safe and understood. If you have any questions or would like to connect, feel free to message me!
