Find local babysitters in Franklin Park, IL

Hi! My name is Isabella Wergin, I am a recent graduate of Loyola Chicago living in Lakeview. I’m looking for a consistent position and a willing to start as soon as possible. I’ve nannied/ babysat for a variety of families over the past 8 years, therefore I have experience with various ages and needs. I love to facilitate creative activities that allow for use of imagination and learning. Two summers ago, I was a camp counselor at an overnight summer camp in Maine, where I was a bunk counselor and instructed tennis to children ages 4-17. This opportunity expanded my understanding in how to best engage all age groups in activities. Looking forward to meeting you!

For 12 years I had the privilege of working for wonderful families taking care of children from 3 months old to approximately 8 years old. I enjoyed playing with the kids, reading to them, going for walks, to the park, playdates, classes, museums, etc. I also cooked light meals for them and sometimes even for the family. Helped with laundry, grocery shopping, running errands, or organizing projects while kids were napping or at school. I also helped with walking the dog and making sure it had fresh water. One of the families asked me to speak Spanish to their kids and so while they were 3 months old and 2 years old I spoke mostly spanish. At the end of my time working for them the children able to understand a day to day conversation. Now they are in college and last time I saw the boy we were speaking spanish, it amazes me how much they learned!! As a mother myself I know of the importance of making sure children are in a safe and healthy environment. One passion of mine has always been things related to nutrition and healthy eating so I got a nutrition certification and worked in that field after babysitting for the Cook family (2017-2025)

Experienced and Compassionate Caregiver With 23 years of hands-on childcare experience, I have cared for children of all ages, ensuring their safety, development, and well-being. My experience comes from helping my older sister with her children, babysitting my younger sister, and assisting family, friends, and their referrals with childcare needs. As a mother of two—including a child with medical and emotional needs—I have firsthand experience providing specialized care. I also worked for 2.5 years at my children's elementary school, caring for kids aged 3 to 13 from diverse backgrounds and with various needs. My passion for childcare was sparked by a difficult experience I had when my oldest child was a toddler. I trusted a caregiver, only for my child to be mistreated. That experience strengthened my commitment to providing children with the care, respect, and protection they deserve. Whether caring for a child, grandparent, or pet, I treat them as I would my own loved ones—with compassion, patience, and dedication to their well-being. I am pursuing certification in early childhood development to expand my knowledge and skills further. Additionally, I am CPR-certified and will be renewing my certification along with obtaining first aid certification in the coming weeks. I also own a LifeVac Kit for emergency preparedness. I have psoriatic arthritis, which limits my ability to be physically active with the children in my care. However, I make up for this by engaging them in creative arts and crafts projects, taking them to the library, and supervising them diligently at the park. Beyond childcare, I have experience working with the geriatric community. I have worked in various roles at skilled nursing facilities, always focusing on engaging with residents—whether through activities, small favors, or simply being there to listen. Additionally, I have experience in dog care, ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. My goal is to provide a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment where those in my care feel supported, valued, and protected. Yes, I used ChatGPT to help write this bio, with all my own personal experiences—just so it could be more well-written and articulated.

I recently moved back to Chicago from my undergraduate school, in which I study French and Cellular Molecular Biology. My experience working with kids began in my household, being the oldest with three younger siblings. During undergraduate studies I worked at a tutoring program funded by my university to aid children who have difficulties at home and educational challenges. I also have experience as a CPR instructor, an EMT volunteer, an Emergency Room intern and general-hospital student abroad. I enjoy learning new skills during my free time, mainly in the arts. I recently started metal smithing, Jiu jitsu training, and learning Italian. I also love outdoor activities, especially going on walks and hiking with my kitten. While I might be involved in many things, my schedule is completely flexible. I really hope that I can be the right fit for your family, please feel free to message me for more information or a resume. Thank you for visiting my profile!
