Find experienced nannies in Urbana, IL

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!

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

Hi! I am a Certified Nursing Assistant looking for some extra work! I have 3 years of nanny experience and 4 years of CNA work with almost all age groups. I am CPR and first aid certified; and a fairly flexible schedule! I can’t wait to help out where I can:)

Hello! I'm Kira, a Physics student at UIUC. I have experience babysitting, tutoring, working as an au pair, and volunteering at a daycare! I am happy to help with kids' homework in any subject and housework in addition to normal care. I have also received certifications in first aid and CPR (including infant CPR).

I graduated in 2020 from high-school with a Diploma . I am currently in college for Early Childhood Education. I have experience working with children for 9 years. I am the oldest of 5 children so I do have a lot of experience with children because of that.

Hi! My name is Katya and I'm a sophomore at UIUC. I'm majoring in Cognitive Neuroscience in Psychology and minoring in Ecology and Wildlife Conservation. I'm a super social person and I love to do anything creative. I have a car on campus and I have experience in driving kids to activities, coaching gymnastics, and babysitting. I began working with kids when I was a gymnast on my high school team. Throughout the year we had a program called Junior Wildkits where I worked to help coach younger kids. In the summer I was a camp counselor for the same program. This past year I worked for a summer camp specializing in kids with disabilities of all kinds, and while I wasn't a counselor, I was the photographer and would often help out the counselors in entertaining and interacting with the kids. Through this company I became CPR and First Aid certified. In my free time, I'm very art involved and aspiring to be a photographer. My roommates and I love to craft and try out new DIYs or go on little adventures around town. I love to play sports like soccer or watch fun movies and I absolutely adore cats! I have 2 cats at home but I've always wanted a dog too.

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 ;)

Hi! My name is Jessica. I am 37 yrs. I work fulltime (in the evening) as a Data Analyst. I am interested in engaging with children to bring purpose back to my life. I miss so many different aspects of childcare/ teaching. Looking forward to connecting! Be Well, Jessica

Hello, my name is Madisyn. I have three years of child care experience. One year as a nanny and two years in daycare. I grew up in foster care which has given me a passion for helping and a love for children. I do not have children of my own but I hope to one day. I have a reliable car and can transport children, run errands, cook, clean, and much more. I love being outside, reading, watching movies, and baking. I am very adamant that children learn through play. Some things I love to do sensory play, situational play (like playing house or playing shop keeper), and independent play. I look forward to finding a family that fits me!
