Linda L., Babysitter in Garden Prairie, IL 61038 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Linda, a 22 year old recent college graduate. I graduated from Elmhurst University with my Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a minor in Psych. Back in Elmhurst I also worked at an immediate care, meaning I am BLS certified. I used to nanny and babysit for many families back on campus, but am back in Rockford. I love kids and can provide many references. I am great with engaging kids and keeping them active with minimum screen time, as requested by parents. I met so many families back in Elmhurst, many of which I still keep in contact with. Looking to meet a family I can grow with :)

I enjoy working with children of all ages and love pets. I am super active and love all activities. I unfortunately do not have any paid experience with children, but have lifeguarded at Hurricane Harbor for 2 years, and most of the cliental was children. With lifeguarding, I have lots of training with CPR and first-aid. I am looking for a summer job. I have a car and am willing to run errands or go to fun places (park) with the children.

Brittany K., Babysitter in Garden Prairie, IL 61038 with 10 years of paid experience

As long as I can remember, I've always been around kids. I became a mother's helper at a young age, and started babysitting around 5th grade. That seems like forever ago! I continued to babysit regularly through high school. After college, I was a nanny for a couple of years. I now work at a Day Care Center. I'm a fun, energetic person who loves kids! I am back in school for my Early Childhood Education certification (which I will earn December 2015). My schedule will change slightly until then as a new semester begins, but outside of that, I am very flexible. I am First Aid Certified, and with the expected ECE certification in fall, I will be CPR Certified too! :)

Karen P., Babysitter in Garden Prairie, IL 61038 with 3 years of paid experience

Hello. I raised two beautiful children, and during that time was employed for just over three years in childcare. Once my children were older I worked as a Mechanical Engineer then retired early. I am ready to begin childcare again. I am fun-loving, caring and calm. I was a tutor for two years in college, so I could easily step in with homework help. I LOVE babies.

Emmy G., Babysitter in Garden Prairie, IL 61038 with 4 years of paid experience

Currently a Nanny of a 14 year old boy with Down syndrome. I’ve been with him for the past 3 years. Prior to him I watched a girl when she was 4-6 years old. I’ve enjoyed making connections not only with children but also their families. I LOVE taking kids on outings and don’t mind helping with household tasks! Although, I am a current Nanny, I’m looking to work more hours to build up my savings to get a home. I’m an unmarried 27 years old. I went to City First Leadership College for 4 years for ministry training and so if you appreciate a faith based care taker or simply someone with high morals, I’m your gal!
