Hi! I’m Kathryn, a caring and reliable Babysitter with a passion for working with children. I’m 19 years old and currently studying Special Education at Illinois State University. For the past four years, I’ve worked as a camp counselor through the park district, where I’ve had the joy of leading and supervising kids ages 8–13 on fun, safe adventures around town. My experience has taught me how to balance fun with responsibility—keeping kids engaged, entertained, and above all, safe. I’m CPR and AED certified, and I pride myself on being patient, compassionate, and supportive in every interaction. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with light housework, grocery shopping, and homework support. I understand how busy life can be, and I’m here to make things easier for both you and your kids. I look forward to bringing positive energy and reliable care into your home!

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.

Hi, my name is Sarah. I have been working with children in various ways for several years now. My background is in elementary education with an ESL endorsement. However, I've worked in an early education center, first, as a preschool teacher, and then a toddler teacher. I have also worked as a child entertainer at Great Wolf Lodge. I am currently going to ISU for communication sciences and disorders with the goal of being a speech therapist. With my education and experience, I know different ways to help your kiddos grow. I can help children work on their regular math and reading, and I can also help to advance their social and emotional health. I have worked with all ages, so I am excited to potentially get to help more children grow and develop. That is my passion. I am hoping to find a family who can be flexible with my school schedule. I am also available for night and weekend care. Please contact me with any questions.
