Hello! I’m an experienced, responsible, and caring babysitter with a background in childcare and education. I have hands-on experience as an assistant teacher and have taken many child based classes, so I’m comfortable with multitasking, staying attentive, and handling unexpected situations. My approach to babysitting is all about creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment for kids of all ages. I love to encourage creativity, support learning, and foster a positive atmosphere. Safety and attention to detail are top priorities, and I’m always ready to lend a helping hand.

Hi! My name is Ariel Creal. I love being a sitter, being able to help the kids and have fun! I make sure to do what the child likes and make them happy. I have been a sitter for 5 years, and have such a great rapport with all the parents. I am a super energetic person, always bubbly, love outdoors, games, and coloring. I am CPR+ and First Aid certified. I do have my own car to travel. I can cook, clean, help with homework, change diapers. The most important thing is making sure a child feels safe and comfortable and I try to be that safe space for all kids.

Hi! My name is Cadence, and I’m 19 years old. I’m currently a sophomore at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, studying psychology and neuroscience. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for working with little ones, and growing up in a big family with five siblings has played a huge role in that. Being surrounded by kids throughout my life has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of making others feel loved, supported, and understood. Having five siblings has given me plenty of hands-on experience with different ages, personalities, and needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know what makes each little one unique, whether that means finding their favorite activities, encouraging their creativity, or simply being someone they can count on. My studies have also deepened my interest in childhood development and the ways young minds grow, learn, and express themselves. I would describe myself as patient, compassionate, dependable, and easygoing. I love finding ways to make everyday moments fun and meaningful, whether through games, crafts, outdoor activities, or helping with homework. I’m also happy to assist with meal preparation, daily routines, and light housekeeping to help make things a little easier for your family. I understand how much trust goes into welcoming someone into your home, and it’s something I take to heart. I hope to provide more than just reliable childcare by creating a warm, comfortable environment where your little ones can be themselves and parents can feel at ease. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family, hear about what matters most to you, and see how I can be a helping hand in your everyday routine. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me. I look forward to connecting with you and hopefully making some wonderful memories with your family!

I am a certified nutrition coach, doula and student midwife. I am a big creative so I love keeping imagination flowing with art and craft projects.

Hi! My name is Emma! I am a professional nanny and childcare provider! I have several years of experience with all ages! I would love to talk more about your families childcare needs!

Hi there! I'm Oyin. I recently earned my degree in psychology and my masters in social work , and I have been caring for children for 12 years as a babysitter and worked a bright horizon and rainbows end. I have a lot of experience working with infants-school age, and I also spent three years babysitting a six-year-old girl on the autism spectrum. I truly love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. Nothing makes me happier than running into someone who I used to babysit and remembering all the fun times we had together! I can provide references upon request. I'd love to meet you and get to know your children.

Hey! My name is Ilknur, I know it’s a little different. I grew up in St.Louis and I went to SIU for English. My first job was at a daycare in St.Louis. I worked with newborns, toddlers and school age children. I was responsible for changing diapers, bottle feeding and making sure the newborns had their naps. In addition, I was also a Lead Teacher at Malone's Daycare in Carterville, IL for the 2 year old classroom. This role required lesson planning, being creative and was fast paced. I’m punctual, organized and very patient. I’m always on time and I don’t like being late. Most importantly I’m reliable and I take accountability for my actions like any adult should.
