A little bit about me

I’m an empty-nester. My child is grown, but no grandchildren yet. I’ve already lived through it, and know how to parent so much better now that I’ve already made the mistakes. I have experience with children of all ages — I facilitated an early childhood music program for over a decade, and then taught high schoolers. I love to have fun and still get the job done!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I am willing to do just about any activity a kid can imagine as long as it’s safe and legal and mom approves!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Aside from, obviously, keeping the kids safe and healthy, I believe it is important to honor each child’s individual gifts; to allow for their unique, creative expression; to model lovingness, patience, compassion, empathy, non-judgement, healthy boundaries, critical thinking, effective communication and other life skills with as much joy as possible.

My experience with special needs children...

I worked with special needs adults, however, I offered a music program for special needs babies and toddlers.

The most important part about being a nanny...

There are just too many wonderful moments to list – – from crazy/creative/fun moments, to quiet/peaceful/pensive moments. I feel honored to be a part of them and I cherish them all.

Lily R. - Seeking Work in Urbana

Full-Time Nanny Available in Urbana, IL: Lily R.

Hello! My name is Lily, I am a certified Art Educator and have my Professional Educator License. While being a teacher is an amazing way to care for children and be around their awesome spirits, I'm looking for a role where I can build connections with families and provide attention and individual care. I am always down for crafts, activities, school help, getting up and active, and food prep. I am proud of my emotional intellect, and find it very easy to relate to and communicate with kids. What I love most about teaching is talking with my students, getting to know them authentically, and providing guidance for their own creativity and path. I'm 24, but very in touch with what is relevant to kids now. I try to make my time with kids enriching for their attention, all while getting done what needs to get done. I look forward to hearing form you! Thank you for reading!

Babysitter Available in Urbana, IL: Lola L.

I am a 7th year MD/PhD student currently on a year long sabbatical to start my own online business helping clients navigate the healthcare system and understand their options and health conditions. I defended my PhD in genetics after 4 years in the lab. I have 1 more year left of medical school until I graduate from the University of Iowa. I currently like in Urbana with my husband of 3 years (10 years together total) and our mini American shepherd puppy. My husband is in his last year of PhD training at the university. We are 30 years old and would like to start having children in the near future. I have spent time carrying for children throughout all stages of my life. I am an older sister and my most recent paid experience was babysitting for one of the physicians at the University of Iowa Hospital. In my free time I enjoy walks at Carle park, cooking, reading, and journaling. I'd love to help care for your family.
