Crystal H., Babysitter in Cottage Hills, IL 62018 with 10 years of paid experience

My name is Crystal. I am 40 years young with lots of time in childcare. I have two grown young men both looking into being in the arts. One loves music and making sounds. The other a graphic arts designer. As high schooler, I took Child Development because I've always loved children. I would say I want ten however, I was only able to have two. I am looking to foster a child and adopt. I was adopted at two weeks old so I learned to love unconditionally at an early age. I love to teach. I took seven years of Spanish in school and I'm refreshing as I continue to teach. I'm also learning sign language. I have numerous clock hours and CPR training from my current and previous jobs. My goal is to open my own center and retire watching all my babies grow in productive and respectful individuals. I AM VERY COVID CAUTIOUS! My son is diabetic and lives at home.

Kayla B., Babysitter in Cottage Hills, IL 62018 with 3 years of paid experience

I've loved caring for children for as long as I could remember. I started babysitting at 12 and as the oldest of five siblings, I grew up helping care for younger children daily. 11 years as a mom myself, I truly understand children's needs at every stage and how important patience, structure and kindness are. I have experience with infants, including colicky babies, supporting children with attention, anxiety and behavioral challenges, as well as children with special needs. I'm calm, dependable, and very attentive, with a strong sense of empathy and understanding. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident their little ones are in caring hands.

Candice D., Babysitter in Cottage Hills, IL 62018 with 30 years of paid experience

I’m the eldest of the children in my family, so I discovered my natural caregiving nature at a young age. I have been a caregiver of people ages 3 through 93! The elderly are such treasure troves of wisdom and history, and the children are good for my soul; they amuse me, surprise me and fascinate me. I like watching them grow, I like teaching them and getting the satisfaction that I have helped a young one learn learn. Currently I am caring for sisters—a three-year-old, and one who turned six years old last month. I most like to play and interact with them in way in which they learn. For example, the girls’ first language is English, and I am teaching them to speak Spanish. Of course, what I’m able to teach them depends on age and what a parent wants in that regard. I’m willing to do light housekeeping, and I am also an experienced house sitter and pet sitter. I’m extremely flexible, I have references, and I’m looking forward to having an opportunity to get acquainted with some parents to see if our needs mesh!
