A little bit about me
With eight years of hands‑on childcare experience, I started babysitting at fourteen and have cared for infants, toddlers, and young children—including my three nieces and now my own daughter. I’m experienced with daily routines, feeding, cooking, nap schedules, bedtime routines, and keeping children engaged through outdoor activities and creative play. I bring a calm, dependable presence and understand how to balance structure with fun. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing environment where kids feel comfortable and parents feel confident.

Hi my name is Sage! I am 24 and live with my partner and two dogs in Springfield, IL. I have had a passion for childcare since i was a child myself! I grew up with 4 sisters and many cousins I watched regularly. I was in the Navy for 2 years before becoming a nanny and eventually working at a daycare here in town! I am looking for a nanny/babsitting job because I prefer more one-on-one to really teach and care for children as they need. I have alot of experience with autistic children and special needs children.
I am currently studying psychology to become a child therapist eventually!
I do not smoke, i have my own car, and CPR certification.
I love cleaning and organizing so i am always more then happy to help with anything around the house!
