Ready to experience the best babysitter that your kids will be disappointed you came home? Hello, I am interested in becoming a babysitter for you! My name is Tenia. I have been working with children and adolescents my entire life, and have been working on Sittercity for a few years now, and have been working with the same families for 2-3 years as well. Working with children is my passion, whether it is therapeutic or fun! I don’t have any children of my own so looking over other families' children fills my baby/kid fever! I treat all children as if they were my own and I love watching them grow each day! You will not have to worry about leaving your children in my care! I strive to make sure both you as the parent and your children are comfortable so you can have peace while you are away from your kiddos! I am currently CPR-certified and will provide documentation if needed. I can drive children to activities, watch children at your home, watch children at my home, help with homework, prepare meals, and teach healthy skills. I have been babysitting for many years and these rates are based on my experience and quality of work! However, I am open to discussing prices! I am easygoing and welcome communication of any sorts! I believe all parents should be able to have access to babysitting care. I look forward to working with you and your kiddos! If you are happy with my services, please leave a review! :) If you are not happy, let’s talk! I am very open to feedback and criticism! I have a family that you can contact as a reference if needed! :)

Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know me! My name is Zaina, and I’m an experienced, nurturing, and dedicated childcare provider with a true passion for supporting children’s growth and development. My journey in early childhood education began in high school, where I completed a certified Early Childhood Education program. This foundational experience sparked my love for working with children and led me to begin babysitting and nannying for families with children ranging from infants to 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of childcare settings, including homes, preschools, and after-school programs. I spent three years as an educator and program manager at an elementary school, where I created and implemented engaging daily lesson plans and activities tailored to each child's needs. My approach blends structure with creativity to foster a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m also experienced in household management and understand how to keep a home running smoothly while ensuring children are happy and well cared for. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in nursing, which has further deepened my knowledge of child health and development. I’m certified in both infant and child CPR and BLS (Basic Life Support), and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every role I take on. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, staying active, and continuously learning new ways to better support the children in my care. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to a family who values compassionate, reliable care.

Hello dear parents, I am looking for an occasional, one time or weekend nights babysitting job. I have over 10 years of experience with children in ages ranging from newborn/infants to preteens. I consider myself a loving, honest, energetic, respectable, reliable, and organized person. I'm non-smoker and pet-friendly.  

With over nine years of hands-on experience caring for children from toddlerhood through grade school—including children with autism and diverse developmental needs—I bring a calm, nurturing, and structured approach to every family I support. I’ve worked with a wide range of families, from busy after-school schedules to full-time, live-in nanny roles. Whether helping siblings navigate sibling dynamics, organizing household routines, or providing one-on-one behavioral support in the classroom, I’m committed to creating safe, enriching environments where children thrive.

I have many years of experience with children in a wide range of settings, including many years of babysitting for families in their homes, working as a summer camp counselor, as an assistant teacher in a daycare, and volunteering in two elementary schools. I raised my own son and I occasionally watch my 4 and 6 year old grandsons. In the past year and a half I have watched a 2.5 year old boy, an infant girl from age 3 to 6 months, a baby boy from 7 to 10 months, and an 8 year old girl. I completed a pediatric first aid and CPR class in November 2023. When I am watching children I do not use my cell phone (other than in case of emergency or if I need to schedule an appointment) as I want to give the kids my undivided attention. I especially enjoy reading to children, doing art projects together, and taking nature walks. I am very energetic, and on days when I am not babysitting, I typically take 4 - 5 mile walks along the lake. I am very happy to provide professional and personal references. Among the parents from whom I can provide references are a neonatologist, a professor of psychology, a nurse, and an elementary schoolteacher. As a caregiver, I am highly reliable, kind, warm, and fun. I love both kids and dogs. My schedule is typically very flexible, and I can often make myself available for last-minute requests. Thank you. Rosanne

Hello! I am a 29-year-old educator with over 15 years of experience in childcare. I am returning to the U.S. after spending time traveling the world and working as an English teacher abroad. I currently work as an online English teacher, but primarily late in the evenings and on a flexible schedule. I have a Master's degree in Linguistics from Northeastern Illinois University and a Bachelor's degree in French Teacher Education from Illinois State University. I have experience as a full-time nanny for several children at a time, a middle school teacher, preschool teacher, Sunday school teacher, academic tutor, camp counselor for children with cerebral palsy, and one-on-one caretaker for children with Downs syndrome.

I love coming up with fun games, crafts, and educational activities for them to do -- or for any kids to do! I'm pretty skilled at turning egg cartons and pipe cleaners into phonics or science lessons! I am first aid/CPR certified and have completed several academic courses related to child growth and development, child psychology, and Linguistics courses related to first language acquisition in young children.
