A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Kara, and I recently started graduate school at the University of Illinois. I have several years of babysitting experience with families of all ages, from my time in both high school and undergrad. I was a high school coach this last winter so I have CPR, first aid, and seizure training that has been completed in the last year.

I'm studying Soil Science, so I enjoy spending time outdoors and love getting kids outside to play, explore, and stay active. Whether it's helping with homework, playing games, doing crafts, or spending time outside, I'm excited to get to know your family and help in any way I can!

Tammy G. - Seeking Work in Champaign

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.
