Hi, My name is Kelsey. I am a fun, easy going, reliable individual. My passion for working with children has extended throughout my life starting with babysitting for my family members. My experience began in high school where I taught 4yr old preschool children who attended our high school program. As a result of that, I began to Nanny for a family of one of my students. I have worked a before & after school program for a variety of grammar schools through the park district. I have worked as a preschool teacher at a day care with children ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years old. I am CPR certified.

Hi! My name is Michelle. I come from a very large and involved family and have been caring for both children and seniors for most of my life. I enjoy caring for others and believe in a strong support system at home. I prefer to get out and allow kids to learn and experience life first hand through adventures and activities rather than through a screen all of the time. I am college educated, CPR /First Aid Certified and look forward to getting to know you, your family, and how I can make life simpler for you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for your time and have a great day!!

Michelle was a great help to our family! She was extremely kind and truly loved my kids. She was very good at sending updates during the day especially when she had to pick up/drop off the kids. I knew they were safe in her care :)

For the past 3 1/2 years, our family has been incredibly fortunate to have Christine care for our two children. She began watching our son when he was just 4 months old and our daughter when she was only 3 months old. As parents, choosing someone to care for our children each day was one of the most important decisions we could make, and we were extremely selective about who we trusted. Christine quickly earned our complete confidence. We even drove 35 minutes out of our way each day because we knew our children were in the best possible hands. Her care went far beyond simply supervising them— she created a nurturing, engaging environment, filled with games, arts and crafts, learning opportunities, and fun activities that helped them grow and thrive. What truly set Christine apart is the genuine love and care she shows for the children she watches. Over the years, our children formed a special bond not only with Christine, but also her children making her home feel like a second family to us. As our kids transition into preschool this fall, saying goodbye after 3 1/2 years has been incredibly difficult for both us and our children because of the relationships that were built during that time. We cannot recommend Christine highly enough. Any family would be lucky to have her caring for their children and I’m confident you will have an outstanding experience just as we did!

I love kids, I think this is the best quality in a person that you should look for. Kids are a delight. I have 8 nieces and 3 nephews, this is where my desire to take care of kids came from. They grow up so fast that you can't get enough of their nature. Being here, I am hoping to embrace a family in need and to be able to help raise a child. I am a yogi therefore very calm & patient. I am reliable, organize, passionate, caring, trustworthy and have a lot of love to share. Safety is my priority. Thanks for the time, may this be the beginning of a lifetime friendship. Have a wonderful day.

Hi! I’m a responsible and energetic sitter with over 3 years of childcare experience working with children of all ages, from infants to older kids. I’m comfortable handling a wide range of responsibilities, including diaper changes, meal prep, and bedtime routines. I’m CPR certified and a trained lifeguard, so safety is always my top priority. I also teach swim lessons, which has helped me develop strong supervision skills and the ability to stay calm and attentive in any situation. I love staying active and engaged with kids and can also help with schoolwork, making learning fun and manageable. In addition to childcare, I can cook, drive to activities or errands, and help with kids’ hair if needed. I’m about to graduate high school and pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for!

Hello my name is Kristy, I am a caring reliable person, Childcare has always been my passion ever since I can remember. I have been nannying for about 3 years and also have been babysitting children since the age of fourteen! I am a reliable, active nanny and love to find new ways to get the children up and involved. I have experience with all ages of children ranging from newborn-preteen. My past position was caring for a newborn girl as well as a toddler and a preschooler part time, and a 11 year old boy and a 13 year old girl. I like helping children learn and watching them grow. I am a very social person, and very kind hearted. I attended Joliet Junior College for 2 years and plan to take more childcare classes to further my career as a child care provider by getting my CDA (Child Development Associate) I am looking for a family that I can work with long term. Please email me with any questions that you have. References available upon requested. Thanks for taking time and looking over my profile

We only got to talk on the phone with Kristy, but she left a very positive impression! She seems like a very sweet young lady, and would be a good fit for someone looking. :)
Brooklynn S.
- 4 years paid experience

Hello, My name is Brooklynn. I'm 19 years old and I'm currently enrolled in college to become a child psychiatric nurse. My hobbies include: reading, exploring and just in general learning new things. My passion for children developed around age 16 when I would babysit my younger cousins and the neighborhood children throughout the whole summer. When I turned 18 the first thing I did was apply at a daycare as an assistant teacher and here I am a year later still pursuing a career involving children. One of the greatest treasures I have experienced from working with children is that not only do we as adults teach children certain life skills, but they also teach us. Through children I have learned the beauty of forgiving, being happy no matter the circumstance and that the smallest gesture can mean the most when it is done with a pure heart. I hope to depart all of these attributes into children I will be caring for in the future. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to learn a little about me. God bless you and have a nice rest of your day.

Hi! I’m a 19-year-old experienced and caring babysitter who genuinely loves working with children. I’ve been babysitting for the same family for the past 4 years, caring for their children as they’ve grown, and I’ve also spent a lot of time helping care for babies, toddlers, and young children within my own family. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and always focused on making sure children feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I enjoy keeping kids entertained through play, crafts, activities, reading, and just spending quality time with them. I’m also comfortable helping with meals, bedtime routines, and keeping things tidy while the kids are in my care. I also have a background in healthcare and am a certified nursing assistant, so I’m comfortable staying calm and responsible when children need extra care or attention. I’d love the opportunity to help a family with occasional babysitting, date nights, or a more regular schedule!
