Find experienced babysitters in Downers Grove, IL

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 attempt to provide one-on-one care that meets the age required needs of each individual , creating a safe ,caring ,nurturing ,and stimulating environment in which children can thrive and develop. Professional experience with newborn - 10 years old. With 7+ years of experience. Including caring for more than one child at a time and special needs experience.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know me! My name is Zaina, and I’m an experienced, nurturing, and dedicated childcare provider with a true passion for supporting children’s growth and development. My journey in early childhood education began in high school, where I completed a certified Early Childhood Education program. This foundational experience sparked my love for working with children and led me to begin babysitting and nannying for families with children ranging from infants to 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of childcare settings, including homes, preschools, and after-school programs. I spent three years as an educator and program manager at an elementary school, where I created and implemented engaging daily lesson plans and activities tailored to each child's needs. My approach blends structure with creativity to foster a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m also experienced in household management and understand how to keep a home running smoothly while ensuring children are happy and well cared for. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in nursing, which has further deepened my knowledge of child health and development. I’m certified in both infant and child CPR and BLS (Basic Life Support), and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every role I take on. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, staying active, and continuously learning new ways to better support the children in my care. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to a family who values compassionate, reliable care.

Hi! My name is Rachel and Im looking for a babysitting job. I just graduated from Florida State University with a degree in psychology and child development. I have been babysitting for the past eight years and love it! Some activities I enjoy are walks, crafts and swimming. I am CPR and Lifeguard certified if you have a swimming pool. Some jobs I have worked have been a camp counselor, teachers aid and paraprofessional in a special education school along with nannying. During the school year I tend to babysit more due to the flexible schedule! I hope to find a family that I can help out.
