Ellen B., Nanny in Rantoul, IL 61866 with 29 years of paid experience

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

Iggy S., Nanny in Rantoul, IL 61866 with 3 years of paid experience

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!

Amelia H., Nanny in Rantoul, IL 61866 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi everyone! I recently graduated from University of Illinois in December and I'm looking for babysitting and nannying jobs during the upcoming spring semester (January 19-May 16). I won't be taking classes, so my schedule will be very open and I can accommodate a variety of days and times. I love working with kids and have been babysitting since I was 12! For the past 4 years, I also coached gymnastics and diving with kids ages 2-16. Additionally, I have a reliable car to help out with any drop-off or pick-ups! Please reach out if you have any questions!

Deja H., Nanny in Rantoul, IL 61866 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! I started working with kids when I was 10 years old babysitting cousins and siblings. I have worked at 2 daycares in Champaign, and I have a lot of experience working with special needs children and adults. I am currently working with a baby regularly that is 15 months old, I’ve been working with him since he was just 4 months old and I love having been able to see him grow! I'd describe my personality as fun, intuitive, and caring. I love connecting with children and employers as if we are all family. I care not only for children but also for parents. I very much enjoy hearing about your workdays and any recreational activities that you participate in. My skills include socio-emotional education and grounding techniques, conscious discipline, and the awareness of child development in regard to age appropriate education and recreational activities. I have an opening in my availability since one of my families no longer needs my care. I tend to be loyal to several families at a time and balance myself between them (seamlessly, might I add ;)

Shaylun W., Nanny in Rantoul, IL 61866 with 5 years of paid experience

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..
