Find experienced babysitters in Crystal Lake, IL

Hi, I have worked at a daycare and I also worked at Summit School. I love working with children and love to see them grow and progress in their life. I also babysat for about the last almost 4 years for two children and an infant. I have taken training classes and I am CPR certified.

I've been a nanny/babysitter since I was 18. I'm now 37 years old and I have a 8 year old son. I've always enjoyed interacting with kids and caring for them. I know how hard it is to leave your children with a stranger so I always to make everyone feel comfortable and be that extra hand they count on. I was in the army reserves for a few years and have also worked in a pediatric dental office as an assistant and receptionist. My now ex husband joined the army and so we had to move around a bit but my son and I moved back to the Mundelein area. My mom was also a nanny and so I grew up going to work with her and found my own passion for helping families and followed in her footsteps. All the families we have worked for have become like family and most we still keep in touch after the kids have grown up. My son has been going to work with me since he was 1.5 years old and he loves it. It's like a playdate for him and the other children. He's very social and well mannered. My most recent work was for a family in Lincolshire who had 2 little girls ages 2.5 and 5 when I started. I was with the from Jan 2023-Aug 2024. Prior to them I was with a family in Texas who have 2 little girls. They were ages 2.5 years old and 5 months old when I started. I worked for a year with them. I have other references from Illinois as well. My son used to go to work with me and I was lucky to find families who were kind enough to allow that. Now he is in school all day so its not longer a neccesity but I still would like to find families who wouldnt mind if i needed to for all the random days off of school, however I know it's not for everyone so I would understand and have care for him. I've cared for all ages from 6 weeks old to 14 years. I've also worked in a daycare in the infant room and toddler room. Helping to care for 12-20 kids at once. I enjoy doing crafts with the kids and going outside. I have my own reliable car and am non smoking. I also enjoy taking care of pets so if you have any that's not a problem. I've dogsat for families as well. I've taken care of up to 4 kids at once alone. I also organize so if you need help with that I would love to. Updated availability!! Currently available part time for as needed care and only short term. I'm currently pregnant and due in October. My son starts school august 20 so I'd be available during school hours and if he can come with I can do afternoons after 3pm.

I recently completed my Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education and Spanish. My current goals include beginning grad school to complete a Master's in Speech Pathology. I have worked with kiddos of all ages since high school, and each one has taught me something new. I love working with kids because each one has always reminded me that I can learn just as much from them as they can from me, and they hold a special place in my heart. My most recent role was as a first-grade teacher, but I have experience working with all ages from infants to teenagers. I am so excited to connect with new families!

I love kids and welcome babysitting in the evenings and on weekends. I work full time during the week (so evenings/weekends are perfect for me!) I have babysat my entire live and was a nanny for 5 years. I've worked with numerous other Sittercity families and am always looking to grow with others! I have a lot of experience with children of all ages. I drive my own vehicle, live in Wicker Park/born and raised in Chicago, love pets, have amazing references, and am First Aid and CPR certified (Northwestern). I love kids - I love having them play and explore inside and outside the home. I love engaging them in new activities and motivating and challenging them to learn.

I have been a nanny, babysitter, and family manager for over 10 years, working with kids of all ages ranging from 3 months-12 years old. I am a certified Early Childhood/Special Education teacher (PK-2), working at NAEYC accredited child centers, public and private schools. I received my B.S in Child Development with a minor in American Sign Language and my M.S in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. I am also first aid and CPR certified. Growing up, I was a competitive dancer and currently a big kid at heart! I hope you will consider me. Ashley

Hi, I’m Jennifer! I live in Crystal Lake and am warm, dependable, patient, and invested in the children I care for. Childcare has been part of my life since age nine, when I began caring for younger relatives, and continued through raising my three children. I have nine years of paid childcare experience: five years at KinderCare, 18 months as a live-in nanny caring for a four-year-old, and over two years providing private-family care for two young brothers. Those years are complemented by decades of hands-on experience with children. I’ve cared for infants through teenagers and enjoy learning each child’s personality, interests, humor, strengths, and challenges. I’ve supported neurodivergent children, including those with autism and ADHD, as well as children needing help with behavior, organization, emotional regulation, or transitions. My approach is patient, clear, and consistent, with room for silliness and fun! I’m comfortable managing transportation, morning and after-school routines, nap schedules, activities, homework reminders, household organization, and changing schedules. I enjoy playtime, crafts, reading, outdoor activities, and helping children build confidence and independence. I prepare simple breakfasts, sandwiches, and snacks. Before returning my focus to childcare, I spent nearly nine years at Morgan Stanley, advancing to Operations Manager while supporting high-net-worth clients. That experience strengthened my discretion, confidentiality, organization, communication, judgment, and ability to calmly manage competing priorities—skills valuable in a private home. I’m seeking a long-term position with a family that values trust, open communication, consistency, and connection. I value forming lasting bonds with children while respecting their parents’ preferences, values, privacy, and boundaries. My hours may be flexible depending on location and commute, and I’m available to start immediately. In my spare time, I enjoy crafting, supporting my sons at band and Scout activities, and spending time with family and our dogs. I’m comfortable with pets and have previously been certified in CPR and First Aid.

My name is Maddie! I am a junior at Barrett the Honors College ASU, majoring in music therapy, with specialties in childhood development. I have 7 years of babysitting experience, including a year of overnight babysitting experience for 4 children under 4 and 3 summers of weekly nannying. Aside from my babysitting/nannying experience, my music/art experience always comes in handy to entertain younger kids :). I am the oldest child of 3 and have always had a love for taking care of others, so babysitting is a lot of fun for me. I am responsible, organized, reliable, have amazing time management, straight A’s, committed, communicative, and most importantly, kind, gentle, joyful, and energetic. I come ready to foster an engaging and comfortable environment. Feel free to reach out and get to know me a little more! I also have a sister who is happy to fill in when I am unavailable. She has all the same experience as me. 2 babysitters in one :)
