A little bit about me

Hello everyone! My name is Senia Johnson, and I have been babysitting since early high school. I truly love working with children and have several years of experience caring for kids of different ages. For three years, I taught swim lessons at my local pool, which has helped me develop the ability to communicate with young kids, patience, and a focus on safety while still making learning and activities fun. I am currently a college student at Illinois State University, where I maintain a 4.0 GPA. I am always happy to help with homework and support children’s learning in a positive and encouraging way. In addition to childcare, I love cooking and have been preparing meals for years, and I’m also comfortable helping with light cleaning and keeping spaces organized. I’m dependable, energetic, and passionate about creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for children.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

For three years, I taught swim lessons at my local pool, Five Seasons Family Sports Club, which helped me develop strong communication skills, patience, and a focus on safety while still making learning fun.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Some fun activities I enjoy doing with children include arts and crafts, playing sports, going to the movies, visiting arcades, and bowling. I also love planning creative activities like baking together, outdoor games, reading, and themed activity days to keep kids engaged, active, and having fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part of being a nanny in my opinion is creating a safe, supportive, and caring environment where children feel secure, valued, and encouraged to grow. A nanny plays a key role in a child’s daily routine by providing consistency, patience, and positive guidance, while also supporting learning, creativity, and independence. Building trust with both the children and their families is essential, as it allows children to feel comfortable, confident, and excited to learn and explore their world.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience working with children with special needs is limited, but I am always open and eager to learn new challenges. I have worked with families of children with special needs while teaching swim lessons, which has helped me develop patience, adaptability, and strong communication skills. I am committed to providing a supportive, safe, and inclusive environment for every child.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite nanny moments was when a little girl I used to babysit excitedly showed me all of her cats. We sat together while she told me everything she noticed about each one of their personalities, patterns, and little details she loved. Listening to her talk with so much joy and confidence was incredibly sweet, and it remains one of my first and favorite moments because it reminded me how important it is to truly listen and be present with children.
