Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I also have worked summer camps, vacation bible school, high school sports camps, and coached junior high and high school sports
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love to be outside in the summer when it is not too hot to burn off all the energy! But also love to play games, dress up, and crafts too!
The most important part about being a nanny...
I loved getting to see the girls I babysat for throughout undergrad grow up! They were literally babies when I first started and now they are going into kindergarten :)

Babysitter Available in Champaign, IL: Tammy G.
Hi there!
I’m Tammy, soon to be an empty nester and looking for a little extra work to keep me busy.
I’m always taking take care of someone, whether it’s a baby, to an adult. I e always been a nurturing person who puts others needs before myself.
Started at the age of 10 babysitting my cousins, eventually it led to watching other kids and I knew that’s what I wanted to do. Help others. I still do!
While raising my first daughter, I wound up opening up my own daycare. There I helped raise 6 children who are now grown adults with children of their own. I would not have changed a single thing about my decision to open my daycare up.
I also had my own housecleaning business, so both parties combined just motivated me to continue helping others. We need more kindness in this world.
