Hi, My name is Kelsey. I am a fun, easy going, reliable individual. My passion for working with children has extended throughout my life starting with babysitting for my family members.

I have been in the field of Child Care and Early Childhood Education for over 15 years. After graduating from Northern Illinois University with a Bachelor's Degree in Child Development, I began my career as an Early Childhood Educator. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with children ranging in age from 3 months to 12 years. Working with children brings me so much joy. I’m passionate about early childhood education and truly believe the early years are the most important for sparking a lifelong love of learning, creativity, exploration, and play. I am also a proud mom of two wonderful children, ages 7 and 4. I’m currently seeking a position with a family who would welcome my 4-year-old to accompany me. She is a playful, kind, and sociable little girl who loves being around other children. With my professional experience as an educator and my personal experience as a mother, I offer a nurturing, dependable, and engaging environment for the children in my care. I strive to ensure your child always feels safe, respected, and loved while supporting their growth and development every step of the way. If you feel I could be a good fit for your family, I would love the opportunity to speak with you further. I am seeking a part time position, with full day availability Tuesdays/Thursdays.

Hello, My name is Brooklynn. I'm 19 years old and I'm currently enrolled in college to become a child psychiatric nurse. My hobbies include: reading, exploring and just in general learning new things. My passion for children developed around age 16 when I would babysit my younger cousins and the neighborhood children throughout the whole summer. When I turned 18 the first thing I did was apply at a daycare as an assistant teacher and here I am a year later still pursuing a career involving children. One of the greatest treasures I have experienced from working with children is that not only do we as adults teach children certain life skills, but they also teach us. Through children I have learned the beauty of forgiving, being happy no matter the circumstance and that the smallest gesture can mean the most when it is done with a pure heart. I hope to depart all of these attributes into children I will be caring for in the future. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to learn a little about me. God bless you and have a nice rest of your day.

Hello! My name is Nikki, and I’m a part-time nursing student who currently works part-time as a CNA. I’ve also been nannying for several years and have experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. I would describe myself as caring, patient, attentive, dependable, and naturally nurturing. Caring for others has always been meaningful to me, which is a big part of what led me toward both healthcare and childcare. I believe children deserve to feel safe, heard, respected, and comfortable with the person caring for them. I enjoy being actively involved with the children I care for rather than simply supervising. Depending on their age and interests, I love playtime, reading, arts and crafts, spending time outside, helping with homework, preparing meals or snacks together, or simply being someone they can talk to and feel comfortable around. I’m experienced with meal preparation, tidying, dishes, laundry, bath time, diaper changes, feeding, personal care, and other child-related household responsibilities. My CNA experience has also strengthened my patience, attention to detail, communication skills, and awareness of safety and individual care needs. Outside of work and school, I enjoy working out, yoga, spending time with my cats and dog, being with family, trying new foods, and experiencing new things. I value living life fully while also nurturing the people, animals, and relationships that are part of it. My childcare philosophy is that every child is their own person. I enjoy learning their individual personality, interests, and ways of communicating while providing the consistency, encouragement, and appropriate boundaries they need. As I continue my nursing education, I’m still discovering where I would eventually like to specialize, but I know that caring for others will remain an important part of my life. I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and care for your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m always happy to learn your family’s routines, preferences, parenting approach, and specific needs. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! I’d also be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to see if I would be a good fit for your family. Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me!

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and being part of their growth. Every day is different—from helping with homework to creating fun activities—and it’s really rewarding to build a bond with a child and be someone they feel safe and comfortable with. I take pride in creating a positive, nurturing environment where they can learn, laugh, and just be themselves. I’ve had several years of experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens. I’ve worked with my aunt at her licensed at home daycare, which insisted of daily routines such as educational activities aswell as fun I’ve also helped with light meal prep and homework support. Each experience has taught me something new about patience, communication, and understanding children’s unique needs. I’m great at keeping kids engaged with creative activities, structured routines, and positive discipline when needed. I’m also very dependable, organized, and calm under pressure—which I’ve found is really important when juggling the energy and unpredictability that comes with childcare.
