Find experienced babysitters in Barnes, IL

Hi, I’m Mia! I’ve spent years helping raise my two nephews and my niece—pretty much from the time they were wobbly walkers all the way to reading their first books. I genuinely love being around kids because they’re hilarious, curious, and always surprising me. I’m comfortable with everything from play-time adventures to helping with early learning, meals, and bedtime routines. Families say I’m patient, reliable, and a natural at keeping kids entertained while still keeping things safe. Whether it’s reading stories, building forts, or coming up with silly games, I make sure your little ones have fun and feel cared for. I am CPR+First Aid Certified

I am a nurturing and fun child care provider that believes that children thrive in an environment which they feel is safe to explore and accepted unconditionally for their uniqueness. I have always loved caring for children. I started at 12, provided babysitting services for family, friends, and my teachers until leaving for college. I have earned an elementary education degree and am continually taking additional training as required by DCFS to maintain my license to operate my in-home daycare. I have raised 3 children of my own and been a part of many other children’s lives in the nearly 27 years of running my own in home childcare. Before that I was an infant room teacher and assistant director at a daycare facility. I enjoy many types of music, poetry, quilts and hosting gatherings at my home for my family.

Hi, my name is Sarah. I have been working with children in various ways for several years now. My background is in elementary education with an ESL endorsement. However, I've worked in an early education center, first, as a preschool teacher, and then a toddler teacher. I have also worked as a child entertainer at Great Wolf Lodge. I am currently going to ISU for communication sciences and disorders with the goal of being a speech therapist. With my education and experience, I know different ways to help your kiddos grow. I can help children work on their regular math and reading, and I can also help to advance their social and emotional health. I have worked with all ages, so I am excited to potentially get to help more children grow and develop. That is my passion. I am hoping to find a family who can be flexible with my school schedule. I am also available for night and weekend care. Please contact me with any questions.
