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'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! 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.
