Rachel L., Babysitter in Blue Island, IL 60406 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Rachel, and it would be an honor to babysit your children. With my 6 years of experience in a paid childcare setting and an additional 3 years unpaid babysitting for friends and family, I ensure your children will be in great hands. I also have a child of my own who is now nine years old, which gives me some parenting experience. I have plenty of involvement with assisting children to meet the appropriate developmental stages for their age. I have multiple outlets for learning activities including fine motor and large motor skills. When babysitting, I will sometimes bring a bag filled with some materials to help assist with games and crafts (with permission). Kids usually love my big imagination, that I love to sing, my sensory crafts, and my outdoor skills/activities. Some extra duties I am willing to help out with would include light household cleaning if time, parents, and children allow it, potty training, grocery pick-up, and meal prep. I currently nanny for a family in Frankfort Monday through Thursday and I’m looking to fill my Fridays along with the weekends! Although, mom will be going on maternity leave mid June and I am looking to care for someone this summer! Mom is off until January, so I can even extend it to that time if needed and also possibly open to staying with new family! Please contact me if you’re interested.

Malika S., Babysitter in Blue Island, IL 60406 with 7 years of paid experience

I love being a babysitter because I enjoy caring for children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. Every day is different, and I value the trust families place in me to look after their most important treasures. It’s rewarding to see a child’s smile, watch their confidence grow, and know I’m making a positive impact on their development.

Hi! My name is Leti, I am 33 yrs old, and have been providing childcare for the past 15+ years. I am a native Chicagoan currently seeking opportunities to babysit in my free time (evenings & weekends). I am well-versed in traveling around the city and exploring all that it has to offer! I come from a large family with two sets of multiples (I'm a triplet)! And I've always enjoyed spending time with children of all ages (from infant to elementary-aged). I've worked as a babysitter/nanny, helped with light housekeeping/cleaning, and as a tutor for K-2 graders. I also have experience caring for multiple children (up to 5). I highly value communication and enjoy building long-term relationships with the families I work with. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!

Abbie L., Babysitter in Blue Island, IL 60406 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi families! My name is Abbie, and I bring over eight years of experience in childcare, youth education, and creative program development. I am CPR and First Aid certified, trained in trauma-informed practices, and deeply committed to creating nurturing, structured, and imaginative environments where children feel seen, safe, and inspired to grow. My childcare journey began as a summer camp counselor at the YMCA, where I quickly realized how much I loved being a supportive and positive presence in young people’s lives. Since then, I’ve cared for children across all age groups—from infants to toddlers, school-aged children, preteens, and teens—in both private and educational settings. Over the years, I’ve taken on many roles: sitter, camp counselor, academic mentor, teaching assistant, and museum educator. I’ve worked closely with families to provide structure and stability during after-school routines, evening care, school breaks, and transitions. In addition to home-based care, I’ve worked in the education departments of major contemporary art museums, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, where I led hands-on family workshops, youth gallery tours, and inclusive programs for early learners. These roles helped me develop a creative, patient, and adaptable approach that I bring into every caregiving setting. I’m currently pursuing a dual Master’s degree at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My academic training, combined with years of hands-on childcare experience, allows me to bring a unique blend of creativity, calm leadership, and structure to every family I work with. I have experience supporting children with diverse learning needs, including those with ADHD, anxiety, sensory sensitivities, and emotional regulation challenges. As a sitter, I’m here to do more than supervise—I aim to be a reliable, intentional support system for your child and your family’s rhythm. I’m happy to assist with homework, light meal prep, creative activities, screen-free play, bedtime routines, and transportation. I love planning engaging art projects, reading together, outdoor walks, and helping kids feel both independent and cared for. I value professionalism, clear communication, and mutual respect with every family I partner with. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your children and your home, and I approach that responsibility with care, consistency, and intention.
