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 have 6 years of experience working with youth in professional environments. During the school year, I am a high school paraeducator. 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. 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!

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. Growing up in a large family full of little ones taught me patience, empathy, and the joy of helping kids grow. I love creating fun and engaging days filled with learning, whether we are cooking, doing science projects, reading, or visiting museums. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and encouraged to explore their unique personality and interests. I am dependable, nurturing, and dedicated to providing a safe and positive environment where children feel valued and excited to learn. You can count on me to bring warmth, consistency, and genuine care into your home every day..

Hi! My name is Katya and I'm a sophomore at UIUC. I'm majoring in Cognitive Neuroscience in Psychology and minoring in Ecology and Wildlife Conservation. I'm a super social person and I love to do anything creative. I have a car on campus and I have experience in driving kids to activities, coaching gymnastics, and babysitting. I began working with kids when I was a gymnast on my high school team. Throughout the year we had a program called Junior Wildkits where I worked to help coach younger kids. In the summer I was a camp counselor for the same program. This past year I worked for a summer camp specializing in kids with disabilities of all kinds, and while I wasn't a counselor, I was the photographer and would often help out the counselors in entertaining and interacting with the kids. Through this company I became CPR and First Aid certified. In my free time, I'm very art involved and aspiring to be a photographer. My roommates and I love to craft and try out new DIYs or go on little adventures around town. I love to play sports like soccer or watch fun movies and I absolutely adore cats! I have 2 cats at home but I've always wanted a dog too.
