I've been babysitting my whole life and really enjoy spending time with children. They are genuine, inventive and energetic and a welcome change from the adults I spend most of my time with! I'd love to meet to see if I would be a good fit for you. I began babysitting when I was 12 and haven't stopped since. My youngest sister was born when I was 14 so I have day-to-day experience caring for a young child in my own family. I babysat my way through college, for individual families and for a few churches in a daycare setting. During the summer I worked day camp for school age children and also did respite work with handicapped children. After college I worked full time in the infant and toddler rooms of an Athletic center in Denver for a year - also privately babysitting for several of those families.

Hi there, my name is Josie! I’m 20 years old and currently live in the northwest suburbs of IL. I have a background in business entrepreneurship, but one of my many passion lies in caregiving and working with children. My most recent role was as a Youth Development Professional for a nonprofit organization, where I had the pleasure of working with children ranging from infants to middle schoolers. I’ve been involved in childcare informally since I was 14 and began working professionally at 18. I am CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I truly enjoy engaging with kids during both playtime and feedings. Quiet moments like nap time are very special to me. Colleagues often describe me as kind, hardworking, intelligent, and easygoing. In addition to childcare, I offer services such as cleaning, cooking, and organizing. For families with pets, I’m also happy to help with walking and feeding. Outside of work, I enjoy hobbies like cooking, exercising, painting, and dancing. I love building strong connections with both children and their families and would be honored to support your household :)
