Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love keeping children engaged through fun, interactive activities that encourage creativity and learning. Some of my favorite things to do include arts and crafts, reading books, imaginative play, playing outside, and puzzles and games. I enjoy finding activities that match each child's interests while creating a positive, safe, and enjoyable environment.
The most important part about being a nanny...
To me, the most important part of being a nanny is making every child feel safe, loved, and understood. I want them to know they always have someone who will listen, encourage them, and celebrate the little things with them. Building a genuine connection with each child and creating a space where they can have fun, be themselves, and feel comfortable is what makes babysitting so rewarding to me.
My experience with special needs children...
Through my pediatric occupational therapy shadowing experience, I've worked alongside therapists supporting children with a variety of developmental and sensory needs. This experience has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and understanding that every child learns and communicates differently. I'm committed to creating a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment where every child feels understood and valued.
The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my favorite nanny moments is when I come back after being away for a while and the kids run up to give me a big hug, excitedly saying, "I missed you!" Those moments remind me that the relationships I build with children matter. Knowing they feel safe, comfortable, and happy to see me is one of the most rewarding parts of babysitting and why I love what I do.

Babysitter Available in Normal, IL: Trinity B.
Since I was 11, I've been helping look after 2 siblings, and other children in my family. I realized what a joy caring for kids is in those years, and after so much time looking after them, I decided to put myself out there and help to be the village so many parents could use. Whether I am preparing nutritious meals with my culinary school knowledge and food safety certifications, tidying up, or leading craft sessions, I strive to make every day fun and safe. I also enjoy swimming, and can keep your little ones safe in the water. I am comfortable with pets, and have my own ( single-seat ) vehicle for needed solo errands, such as shopping! I will always follow your lead regarding household rules and maintain clear communication through your preferred method, whether by text or a chat at pickup. I look forward to supporting your family and becoming a trusted partner in your child's growth. I truly love knowing that I can provide you with the peace of mind to enjoy your time away.
