Gina  H., Babysitter in Darien, IL 60561 with 20 years of paid experience

Hi ! I'm a single mother to my daughter who just graduated from the Physician Assistant program at Marquette. Proud Mom here! I have over 20 years of babysitting and caregiving experience and am currently certified in Basic Life Support and First Aid. I grew up working at my mother's daycare center, where my passion for working with children bloomed. Over the years, I've volunteered in my church's nursery, taught Sunday school for Pre-K and Kindergarten, and cared for my daughter/nieces/nephews, as well as babysitting for friends and neighbors. I started my career as a professional caregiver over 10 years ago, so I have experience with anyone from infants to teenagers to the elderly. For the past few years, I have worked as a medical assistant in a variety of healthcare settings. To me, caring for children is very rewarding and I love what I do. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and my friends I am comfortable with pets. I have a reliable car and am able to help with homework, mealtimes, and light housekeeping. I value safe and fun experiences and love to incorporate learning into play and everyday activities. I Love making each day fun and kids smile. I'm a smiley bubbly positive person myself. I'd love to learn more about the ways I can specifically serve you and your family!

Gina was such a kind, caring and compassionate nanny. She was so great with my two year old and eight month old. She is full of energy, very fun and loves to play with the kids! She was extremely respectful and a great communicator. She was always on time and was a quick learner! I was so nervous to leave my kids with someone, but Gina immediately made me feel comforted and genuinely cared about my family. My kids are close in age, which can be tough, but she handled them both wonderfully. I would recommend her to anyone and you’d be lucky to have her as a nanny!

Sarah C., Babysitter in Darien, IL 60561 with 12 years of paid experience

I am a full-time nanny living in Chicago and I also provide babysitting services on occasion.  I have been helping with childcare for my family since I was 12 years old, as the eldest of five children, three of whom are active boys. I have always enjoyed watching over children and creating a fun, safe environment for my charges.  I have experience with infants, toddlers and preschool children, particularly preschool as I was an assistant Sunday school teacher for my church for six years.  I also did one summer as a camp counselor for a sleep-away camp, which put me in charge of 4-8 kids 22/7.  Some of my favorite activities are reading, drama and games. Generally I am a fun, easygoing sitter who enjoys playing games with the kids and making sure they have what they need.  I tend to be very calm and even tempered, which helps me keep up with high-energy kids.

I only recently met Sarah at an interview to be our nanny, but I was blown away immediately by how well she interacted with our toddler and infant girls. It didnt't work out for us, because of the commute, but she was up front immediately about her concern, and was so professional. She is so kind that she even offered to help us network. Thank you, Sarah, for your kindness, honesty, and extraordinary willingness to help our family! -Kate and Dan

Pierre watched my son when we went on a trip to Tucson and he did an amazing job. My son was sound asleep when I got home. He was super nice, very professional, and had great energy!

Abilyn P., Babysitter in Darien, IL 60561 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!!! ☺️☀️

Sharon F., Babysitter in Darien, IL 60561 with 30 years of paid experience

I am a part-time nanny in the city of Naperville, IL. I care for two pre-school & elementary school aged girls as a live-out nanny and am looking for full-time position. I organize play by setting up play-dates, taking the girls to the park, and making sure they have plenty of opportunities to enjoy fun crafts at home. I prepare healthy meals, load dishes for clean-up afterward, and make sure the girls are clean, happy, healthy, and safe. They enjoy me and we always find ways to have fun. Their toys are always picked up and laundry done by the end of the day. They have been schooled in good manners, and poor behavior is addressed, and if need be, time-outs are given for discipline. As the kids grow and learn occasions for discipline grow more and more infrequent. Learning and being presented with the challenges of trying new things are an on-going experience. Our days are full and fun and pass quickly the girls are well-rested and pleasant and enjoy our group endeavors but are also given much-needed individual attention.
