Paloma F., Babysitter in Belvidere, IL 61008 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello parents! My experience includes nannying for infants from the newborn stage through 1 year of age (including twins experience) and being a daycare assistant teacher for kiddos aged 2 to 3 years old. I am also experienced in school-age pickups/dropoffs, homework help, and after-school routine management. Most recently, I have been an after-school elementary youth instructor on-site with the Rockford and Harlem Public School District. My approach with your children is loving and caring as if they are my own while maintaining the rules you set as the parent. The basis of my personalized approach is to ensure your kids still meet their emotional, developmental, and psychological goals as if in the parent's care. My experience caring for children with special needs has also greatly benefited my comfort and confidence in childcare. I myself have a nonverbal younger sister with severe disabilities. My care for her has sharpened my attentiveness and understanding of the needs of infants and young children, as well as comfort in activities like bathing, dressing, feeding, or entertaining—and not being afraid of handling messy accidents. I am the oldest child of four, so naturally enjoy caring for others and will feel fulfilled being a helping hand to your family. No job is too big or small, and I often go above and beyond to assist in cooking, housekeeping, or pet care. Please reach out and feel free to ask questions or verbalize any concerns. I’m excited to speak with you! (I am CPR/AED/First Aid Certified and fully vaccinated against COVID-19, preferring an environment in which others are too, however, am comfortable masking at any point and for any period of time.)

Paloma was timely, flexible, and caring with my infant (11m/o) and toddler (2.5 y/o). She put both my infant and toddler to sleep, and managed two at the same time. She provided text and picture updates and even captured a few notes that she left behind on the counter. I'd recommend!

Bonnie H., Babysitter in Belvidere, IL 61008 with 18 years of paid experience

Hello, my name is Bonnie. I'm 42 years old and I’ve been a babysitter for over 18 years. The most rewarding part of being a babysitter, for me, is watching and supporting children as they discover and develop their personalities. Some of my responsibilities have included: continuous care for families with 1-5 children, providing transportation to/from school and after school activities, art projects, trips to the library and park, bottle prep and feeding, cleaning dishes, laundry, baking, and meal preparation/light cooking. I'm seeking an opportunity to join another family in mid August or early September. I will provide the attentive, loving care you desire for your infants and/or children.

Bonnie took care of our 1 year old daughter Addison and she was truly amazing. She seemed to care for her as if she were her own. Addison is our first and only child and yet, we felt at ease immediately trusting Bonnie with her. She was with us full-time, Monday - Friday, and our daughter was excited to see her every time she came to the house. Whether it was helping with our dogs, cleaning up in the house or changing her schedule, Bonnie was always agreeable and helpful in our home. She taught Addison what she could and showed great patience on trying days. We would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a nanny. She really cares about children and seems to have a perfect disposition for the job. We really appreciated everything about Bonnie and her care for our daughter.

We felt comfortable with Allison right away. She always comes on time, with a smile, ready to care for our busy, active 8,6 and 3 year old. She does crafts, movies, games with kids. They always look forward to seeing her. She is patient, fun, dependable and committed to providing safe care. Allison is flexible and creative. Any family would be lucky to have her watch their kids.

Kiara K., Babysitter in Belvidere, IL 61008 with 9 years of paid experience

I grew up always wanting to be a teacher, as soon as I was able to get a job as a sitter I did, mainly watching my nephew from the time he was a newborn until I had to move(6 years).I’ve worked as a paraprofessional since 2021, for the past 4 years, I’ve worked mainly with 3rd-4th graders. With that being said I have quite the amount of energy, passion and patience for helping kids grow and learn more things! I try to be as interactive with the kids as possible whether with games, activities, crafts, etc. While I am working on getting re-certified, I have been CPR and First-aid certified in the past. I also have experience with changing diapers, working on potty training, staying on top of nap/sleep schedules, cooking meals and taking care of a variety of different pets. Also, I have reliable transportation and I am willing to pick up kids/take them places or run errands if we plan it in advance! Feel free to get in touch with me if you would like references, have any questions or to set up a call!

As long as I can remember, I've always been around kids. I became a mother's helper at a young age, and started babysitting around 5th grade. That seems like forever ago! I continued to babysit regularly through high school. After college, I was a nanny for a couple of years. I now work at a Day Care Center. I'm a fun, energetic person who loves kids! I am back in school for my Early Childhood Education certification (which I will earn December 2015). My schedule will change slightly until then as a new semester begins, but outside of that, I am very flexible. I am First Aid Certified, and with the expected ECE certification in fall, I will be CPR Certified too! :)

I enjoy working with children of all ages and love pets. I am super active and love all activities. I unfortunately do not have any paid experience with children, but have lifeguarded at Hurricane Harbor for 2 years, and most of the cliental was children. With lifeguarding, I have lots of training with CPR and first-aid. I am looking for a summer job. I have a car and am willing to run errands or go to fun places (park) with the children.

Lisa S., Babysitter in Belvidere, IL 61008 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Lisa,I have been working with children for over 20 years, 15 as a full time private nanny. I am CPR and first aid certified, have taken many early childhood education college courses (CDA), and have a clean driving record. I am also fully vaccinated. I am married without children of my own, so I can be very flexible with my schedule as long as it's full time. I have worked in Caledonia, St. Charles, Wilmette Palatine,Wheeling,Arlington Heights, and currently in Inverness. I have fantastic references from many former employers (as their full time nanny) who can assure you that I am never late, always early. Being a nanny is not just a job to me,it's my career,and I take that responsibility seriously. I enjoy working closely with parents to provide the best care possible for their children. My goals are to meet the physical, emotional, educational, and social needs for the children to thrive and be happy. I love indoor play (art projects, pretend play,dancing,ect.) And activities outside of the home. Parks,library,classes,Gymborree, and any other activities that sound fun and/or educational. I have a lot of experience, and I'm game for pretty much anything! I have experience with ages 2 months to 12 years, and that includes watching siblings of different ages. The family that I am currently working for has twins. My 3rd set of twins! I have been with this family for almost 5 years and the girls are going off to full time school in August. I have always had a commute to work, which I'm fine with. I have never chosen a family to work for based upon where they live. I am fortunate that I have always followed my instincts and chosen to work for families who I, and the families,believe is the perfect fit. I would love the opportunity to chat and hear more about your family and share more about myself with you! Thank you for your time, Lisa Feel free to call me at 630-779-1431
