Find local babysitters in Bull Valley, IL

I am currently attending the University of Illinois and am looking for parents who need help with looking after their children. I am looking for seasonal work as I am home from school this Summer. I have always loved children, even when I was younger, I established close connections with my younger cousins and aspire to watch them thrive and have fun! I now have two younger siblings (6 and 4 years old) that I have grown up with since the age of 14, watching them grow and develop has made my love for children grow even more. I have three years of experience with paid child care and I have watched my younger siblings and helped my mom take care of them for years, including 3 years of babysitting experience. I also have work experience with children at a gym for over two years (ages 3 months-12 years). I know how to have fun with different forms of activities that stimulate their developing brains while also setting boundaries in a calm and leveled way.

  I am healthy and fit, and love the outdoors. I love to read, play games, sports, go on all kinds of outings with the children and help with homework and more. I I believe it is important to encourage good habits. I also enjoy cooking and baking.  I'm clean, neat and honest.   I know how important is to seek honest, reliable care for our most important assets, our children. I first started watching children when I was a pre-teen,  I have 7 years as a Special Needs Bus Driver and Teaching Assistant and currently over 8 years as a nanny with letters of reference from the families I have worked with that I will bring to interviews, I can also provide the background check that I had run on this site. The last family I worked has made the decision to send the twin to a home daycare school with cousin. My last day is 9/25/25. I was with then 2 years. My overall responsibility as a Professional Nanny is to care for and protect your child/children while they are in my care. As a mother and nanny I understand what your child/children mean to you. look forward to meeting you and your family. Sincerely, Miss Karen   Here are some more reviews from families I worked with as a Nanny or Babysitter: Lauren H. Karen was our nanny for 2 years and was a great part of our family. She is reliable, dependable, and great with kids. She created a great schedule of activities for our kids and always kept them busy and learning. She taught them great manners and life skills and has been a great part of our family. Karen cared for our kids, helped with household laundry, helped care for our dog, and ran errands for us. We would highly recommend Karen. Mark D Karen was a great caregiver for our 2 boys (5 and 3). She worked for us fro a few months while our regular daily caretaker was unable to work. Karen was always on time and worked around our schedule changes very well. Our boys liked her very much and she even brought over board games to play with them. We enjoyed our experience with Karen very much. Nov 12th, 2016 Adina Karen was great with our girls, 3 and 1. She was looking for something full time and we had a need for only 23.5 hours. She helped us out for a few days until we found another person. She was reliable, always on time or early.
