Experience: 2 yrs
I am a junior at Illinois State University majoring in Elementary Education, with over two years of experience working with elementary-aged children through clinical placements, volunteer work, and childcare. I recently worked in a fifth-grade classroom providing small-group instruction in reading and math, assisting with lesson planning, and leading class lessons. I am also involved with College Mentors for Kids, where I teach life skills lessons in an after-school program, and I will be serving as a General Manager next semester with responsibilities including classroom leadership and lesson planning. Additionally, I have experience as a summer nanny for a 10-year-old child, planning outings, transporting to tutoring sessions, and supervising playdates. I volunteer with Partners in Reading, working one-on-one with a student to support reading development and foster a love of learning.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Rare Gem – Must Hire! Riley is truly one of a kind — kind-hearted, funny, thoughtful, and a true gentleman. I had been searching for a sitter for almost a month, contacted over 30 people, interviewed 10, met 5, and was about to give up when Riley reached out. I’m so glad he did! My 10-year-old son is incredibly picky — with both food and people — but he instantly clicked with Riley. Riley is incredibly punctual, driving all the way from Elgin and still showing up right on time every visit. He’s responsible, patient, and so much fun. He took my son and nephew swimming and played everything from Uno and Lego to Minecraft, chess, water balloons, and water guns. The boys even begged him to stay for a sleepover! We all love him — he’s an exceptional sitter. If you’re looking for someone sweet, reliable, and genuinely great with kids, Riley is the one. Highly, highly recommend!
