Hi there , A little bit about myself is that I'm a fun-loving babysitter. My name is Kathia I’m a Dekalb High School graduate looking to further my education with working with children. In high school I participated in my schools childcare “Alphabitty Chidlcare Program” learned many things as well as got certified in many areas .I love interacting with kids and being funny and goofy meanwhile still have them listen and respect me. Coloring, dancing, reading, making crafts It's all very easy for me to connect with kids. Keeping the child's well-being is something I take very seriously. I'm a healthy balance of an easy going/patient attitude, and assertive when needed. I understand the importance of my role, and I'm willing to take on that responsibility with your children,Thank you! CPR certified I have been working in a daycare from February 2023 up until now and I have been a floater helping in all of the classrooms and have 2 school age classrooms with 30 kids from k-5 I would say I am very experienced and I nannied for many families as well as a family of 3 for 2 1/2 years

Hi, I’m Shi! I’m 22 and I’ve been babysitting on and off since 15. Being responsible for my two younger sisters is how I realized I enjoyed working with children! I’m HUGE on creative outlets so I always like to bring that out when babysitting. I adore animals and have 2 cats! I love cooking and baking so meal prep is no problem at all. I also have open availability!

Shi is an exceptional sitter! She started working with my family last year and it was a great experience from the start. My daughter is thrilled when she knows Shi will be her sitter. Shi’s great at communication, attention to small details, and making sure that there is never a dull moment. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

I've been caring for children for over four years, and I find great joy in helping them grow and learn. My previous babysitting roles showed me that I have a knack for creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I'm patient, calm, and always ready to play! I'm comfortable taking care of children of all ages, and I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules. I believe in open communication with parents, and I'm happy to discuss any issues that arise throughout the day. I also follow the parents' preferred communication method, whether it's verbal communication at pickup or through text. I love playing games with children, especially outdoor sports and physical games, as well as board games and puzzles. I also enjoy arts and crafts, and I'm always looking for new and creative ways to engage children. I have some high school education, and I'm CPR and First Aio certified. I have a car, so I can easily transport children to and from activities.

Hi! I'm currently working at a daycare where I've gained 5 years experience along with additional babysitting experience. I primarily work with 5 to 11 year olds, but I also work with 6 week to 4 year olds during the school day. Because of this I am first aid certified along with being CPR certified for Infants, Children, and Adults. I'm a current student at Northern Illinois University in the Education department. My major is in Middle Level Math education (to be a middle school math teacher), but I've also taken professional development courses in early life and elementary education. I was also chosen for NIU's 2024 Educate Global trip where I had the chance to teach for a month in Indonesia, so I have plenty of interesting stories to tell!

Being a sitter can make you feel a sense of fulfillment by providing care and support while building a positive relationship with the children and their families. It’s a job where you can be creative, active, and make a meaningful impact on young lives. Growing up as the oldest coming from a big family you take on a lot of responsibilities and skills like communication, patience, understanding of child development stances, adaptability, problem solving, safety awareness, the availability to stay calm under pressure, and being able to foster a child’s social, emotional, and intellectual growth through engaging activities.

My long term goal is to be a preschool teacher, therefore in high school I had the opportunity to observe and participate in a preschool program at South East elementary school. In my experience I assisted the children with their daily routines and responsibilities. Helping foster their independence was one of the best parts of my job. I loved seeing them smile when they accomplished something. My interests include, animals, music, kids,singing dancing, and biking. I'm a very outgoing person, I'm a recent graduate of Sycamore High school and I hope to obtain an opportunity to further my career goals.
