Sheila W., Babysitter in Carol Stream, IL 60188 with 20 years of paid experience

I have well over 25 years of professional Nanny/House Managing/Personal Assistant experience, in addition a to Pre-School teaching and Pre-School swim instruction background. I also have In-Home Day Care experience at my Westchester residence. I have a Child Development/Psychology background. I have an extensive medical background/CPR trained and can handle children with special needs. Kids respond to me because I am patient, outgoing, fun-loving and try to relate to them at their level. I also try to make every day a fun learning experience. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. In the summer you can find me on the ground catching insects, teaching the children how to fish, or catching bullfrogs/ turtles to study (catch and release). I am a big nature-lover. I am an avid fisher-woman, excellent swimmer and horseback-rider. My hobby is training/entering my German Shepherd Dogs in Obedience/Conformation Competition). My previous 14 year old female Lexxi, was a UKC Champion, who held 5 titles and 44 awards. She also did therapy work. I’ve also owned cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, and a cockatiel named SpongeBob! Although I am no "spring chicken" so to speak, don’t let my age deter you. I am high energy and fit, working 50-60 hours a week caring for children. On the weekends, when I’m not working, you’ll find me running around the dog show ring, or practicing agility. My current 7 month old Kasha, is working on her AKC obedience titles. She has some big paws to fill! I have a Law Enforcement/Animal Control Officer, a Medical/ Medical Computer Systems background and have also worked in the Corporate world. All of those jobs I really enjoyed. But I’m completely happy and comfortable in a private/domestic setting taking care of children and managing a household. I excel at ensuring that the household is running smoothly, and I like putting my excellent organizational skills to work. It is a very gratifying experience for me. To be successful, there needs to be teamwork and open communication. I’m a firm believer in consistency and structure...  I’m professional, comical, considerate of others, a bit of a neat freak and a little bit of a workaholic; and 100% dependable! I am also a parent, although my daughter is much, much older. I’m a long time Sittercity member. I recently left my Nanny position of over 8 years in River Forest. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you!

Sheila is a great cat sitter and a great lady. She very clearly loves animals, as you can tell from her bio. She was very conscientious about maintaining a consistent feeding schedule and interacting with my cat. She texted me with an update after every visit. I will definitely hire her again.

Dana put my Mama heart at ease. She asked me questions about my sons interests before I left, and she sent me a text update while I was away, and she cleaned up before she left. She was respectful of our home and so caring towards our son. She played with him and kept him entertained which he loved. She also gave me a summary of what he ate and what they did, which I really appreciate.

Abilyn P., Babysitter in Carol Stream, IL 60188 with 10 years of paid experience

I’m a reliable, nurturing, and dedicated nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including infants, and truly love creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where kids can grow and feel understood. I take pride in making everyday moments special—whether that’s planning fun outdoor activities, crafts, or simply being present and attentive to each child’s unique needs. My current long-term position is coming to an end as the youngest child is starting kindergarten, and I’m now looking for a full-time summer role with the hope of continuing into a long-term position with the right family. I value strong communication, mutual respect, and becoming a supportive, dependable part of a family’s daily life. I love being outside, staying active, and encouraging creativity and curiosity in children. I can also provide strong references from families I’ve worked closely with over the years. I’m reliable, nurturing, and genuinely love being around kids. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or playdates, I try to make the most out of each experience. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping related to the kids, and managing routines/activities. If you’re looking for someone dependable and experienced to jump in a few days a week this summer, I’d love to connect!!! ☺️☀️

Reese R., Babysitter in Carol Stream, IL 60188 with 1 year of paid experience

I am a 20 year old female with two younger siblings - a brother 2 years younger and a sister 6 years younger than me. I grew up with a lot of cousins, older and younger, and spent a while living with a family with 7 kids. I had a lot of amazing babysitters and nannies myself and the impact they've had on me and how fun they made our lives has inspired me with how I interact with kids now. I absolutely LOVE children and they love me too! I love to get to know children and be able to pour into them and learn what lights them up so I can help them thrive, feel seen, unlock their creativity, and help them find their passions. I also love to help in any ways I can and naturally help around the house and do chores without a problem, so any other help anyone might need is absolutely included. For me, nannying and babysitting isn't even a job because I get so much joy from it. I am a very kind and loving person and I care about making life easier for parents and adults who have a lot on their plate. I'm clean, tidy, and organized and like coming up with new innovative ideas to help kids. I can help with homework, tutoring, and potty training (and if it matters, I am especially good and math). I'm looking to move to Humboldt park as soon as possible and would love to start by get a stable nannying or babysitting job near that area.
