I really love working with children and have over 30 years experience. I recently moved to Bloomington Il. to live with my Mom who is 89 years old. I grew up in Bloomington Il. but have lived in Champaign Il. for the past 30 years. I am looking for part time work but will consider full time, if it is a job I'm really interested in. I have taught in a daycare classroom for 19 years and the past 8 years I've been watching kids in their homes and have found that I thoroughly enjoy doing this. I like hvaing time to spend with kids on a more one on one basis and the chance to work with children of different ages. The last family I was with for almost 5 years and it was a great joy for me to watch these kids grow and develop. I have experience with children of all ages including infants. I have babysat for years and have worked in a couple of church nurseries. I love to keep kids busy and active. I play with them, sing with them and do art. I also like to take advantage of the many things in the community for children Ex. parks, librairies, etc. It is great to get them outside, even infants I take for walks. I can provide many refererences upon request. I would like to have the opportunity to speak with you and meet your family. Thank you for considering me for your babysitting position.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with kids. Their creativity, energy, and curiosity make every day fun and different. I find it really rewarding to be a positive presence in a child’s life, whether it's helping with homework, playing games, or just being someone they can feel safe and happy around. I also love being part of their growth, even in small ways, and creating a safe, fun environment where they can thrive. I have over three years of experience working as a camp counselor, where I supervised and engaged groups of children in activities ranging from arts and crafts to outdoor games. Being a camp counselor has also given me the ability to problem solve and handle all types of situations. I’ve also spent a lot of time caring for my younger cousins, so I’m used to being hands-on with kids of different ages and personalities. These experiences have taught me how to manage routines, resolve conflicts gently, and keep kids entertained and safe. I’m very energetic, responsible, and quick to adapt. I know how to keep kids engaged with creative and age-appropriate activities, while also being mindful of their safety and emotional needs. I’ve learned a lot about communication, patience, and problem-solving from my camp counseling experience.

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy supporting children as they learn, grow, and express themselves. Building meaningful, trusting relationships with both children and families is something I value deeply. I recently graduated from Illinois State University with a degree in Early Childhood Education, which has given me a strong foundation in child development, age-appropriate learning activities, and positive behavior guidance. Through my education and hands-on experiences, I have developed skills in creating safe, engaging environments, maintaining routines, and supporting children’s social, emotional, and academic growth. I am patient, reliable, and passionate about providing attentive, nurturing care that helps children feel confident and supported.

I absolutely love being a sitter—it’s such a joy to spend time with kids and make a difference in their lives. Their energy, curiosity, and creativity keep every day exciting! My goal is always to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where kids can thrive, and families can feel completely at ease. With 12 years of babysitting experience, I’ve worked with children of all ages, from snuggling and caring for infants to helping toddlers build routines and confidence. For school-aged kids, I’m there to help with homework, keep them entertained with creative activities, and ensure they’re having fun while learning. And when it comes to teens, I love being a supportive role model while giving them the independence they need. Over the years, I’ve picked up skills to handle all sorts of situations, whether it’s keeping things organized, managing different personalities, or adapting to each child’s unique needs. I also bring training in behavior management and educational techniques, so whether it’s a busy day of play or helping with schoolwork, I’m here to make life easier for your family! I am currently in school to become a Birth-2nd grade teacher, and will graduate in May! So, I have lots of teaching and tutoring experience as well.
