Hello, I am an energetic retiree. I started babysitting on a regular basis when my daughter had children. I babysit an 8 year old, 5 year old, 3 year old and 1 year old (my grandchildren) often during the day and enjoy it. I love to babysit eves and occasional weekends. I am kind and caring and would be sensitive to your child/children's needs. I would do light dishwashing and light chores if needed. I live in Des Plaines in the Villas. I also love cats and dogs and would make sure to give your cat or dog fresh water and food if their bowl needs refreshing and clean the litter if needed:) I can babysit on the weekends including late evening hours or even overnight babysitting. I would try to be very flexible if needed on short notice. Im not yet CPR certified but am willing to do so Read more if requested. Thank you for considering my application!

Susan is warm and caring. She engaged my daughters in play and brought out toys I forgot we had. The girls already have started asking when she can sit again, which is high praise from my discerning daughters.

Our four year old daughter really loves when Susan comes over (and so do we)! She is very professional and caring. She always arrives on time and keeps the house neat. She also doesn't spend time on the phone (like we have seen other sitters) but is very attentive to our daughter. I would highly recommend and would definitely hire again.

I highly recommend Susan as a babysitter. My son loves her and is always delighted when he hears that she is coming to sit for him. He is quite energetic, but she always has the energy to play with him. She is always prompt when arriving (even though she lives about 30 minutes away). She is happy to cook dinner for our son if she is sitting in the evening, and the kitchen is always cleaned up when we arrive home. She is responsible and is able to get our son to bed according to his schedule.

My husband and I highly recommend Susan! She has babysat for our son since he was 5 months old. She is sweet, compassionate, and caring and our son loves her! We are so happy to have found someone we can trust and that cares for our son so well.

We just can't say enough nice things about Susan! She is energetic, personable, fun, and caring. She was very patient and attentive to our 9 month old son's needs. We know our baby is in very capable and loving hands with her! You will not be disappointed if you welcome Susan into your home. We are lucky to have found a true gem!!
