Sophia is awesome! She is warm, super creative, reliable, and playful, and she’s open to working with your family in any way you need. She was a star in getting my Kindergartener up and running with remote learning, no easy task for my strong-spirited boy.

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!

We are thrilled to share our experience with Ruth, who has been an exceptional caregiver for our toddler son. From the moment she joined us, she has consistently demonstrated professionalism, kindness, and a genuine love for children. Ruth has a remarkable ability to connect with kids, making them feel comfortable and valued. She engages them in creative and educational activities that not only entertain but also contribute to their development. Her patience and understanding are truly commendable, especially when handling the occasional tantrum or two. One of the things we appreciate most about Ruth is her reliability and punctuality. She has always been there when we needed her, often going above and beyond to accommodate our schedules. We will definitely recommend her services if you're looking for a nanny/sitter for your child.

Hello, My name is Tamya, I am 21 and a senior at Northern Illinois University and I am currently majoring in political science and journalism. I have 5 years of paid child care experience. I have previously worked with a child summer camp/day care through Champaign Park District and Dekalb Park District. I have experience with very young toddlers to older children and teenagers with special needs. During my time as a summer youth program leader for the Champaign park district, our camp focused mainly on arts and cultures. Every week we would have the children try new experiences such as pottery lessons, dance lessons, art classes, and many arts and crafts projects. This camp focused mainly on immersing the children into the world of art outside of the usual arts and crafts camp. We also helped the kids experience outdoors activities such as soccer, fishing, ultimate frisbee, etc that helped them build team skills as well. During my time at the Dekalb park district we focused on getting the children more involved in online school. We would create games that were centered around what everyone was learning in school. As well as offer homework help and any tutoring that was needed. I am now the assistant director of the summer youth program for the Douglass community center. These programs will help me ensure your child will be learning and have a fun experience while in my care. I am also First Aid CPR & AED certified, a mandated reporter, as well as CDC concussion certified. I also have prior experience working with children with ADHD, Autism, and other physical disabilities and impairments. I am currently located over in DeKalb but am willing to travel. Currently I am available Monday - Wednesday and could arrange other dates in advance. I hope to meet you and your family very soon! Thank you, Tamya Burch.

Hi families! My name is Anadelis & I’m 32 years old. I live in Hampshire, IL. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology & I’m passionate about supporting children’s emotional, behavioral, & developmental growth. I bring hands-on experience working with infants through young adults, including children with special needs, where I provided 1:1 support, implemented behavior plans, & helped create safe, structured, and nurturing environments. I would describe myself as warm, patient, dependable, and very nurturing. I grew up in a close-knit family and helped care for my younger siblings, which naturally shaped my love for caregiving. In my free time, I love cooking, spending time outdoors, and being with my partner, family, and our two cats. I’m also bilingual (English/Spanish), which I’m happy to incorporate into childcare if desired. I would love the opportunity to support your family & provide a safe, engaging, & loving environment for your children. I look forward to connecting with you!

Hi! My names Mary, I am a 20 year old graduate who has been babysitting since I was 11. I am a very energetic, happy, and caring caregiver. I have experience with babysitting as well as being a nanny, I can do both. I have one niece and one nephew who I have watched throughout the years, as well as many younger cousins. I am going to community college so I will be available even after summer. I enjoy doing activities with the children as well as taking them places. I can watch the kids either at my house or yours, whichever works better for you. I also have a 3 1/2 nephew that loves to play with other kids if you’re comfortable with him coming with me occasionally or bringing the kids back to my house to play and hang out! I have a pretty flexible schedule, and am always up to help. I do have another nannying job that varies week to week but on days I don’t have them am very happy to help any way I can. I have always loved children and am told I have a special way with them.

I am a mom of three and have a child with special needs. I understand the importance of safe reliable care, and a caregiver you can fully trust. I provided child care for various families for 7 years. I was also a Certified Nursing Assistant for 7 years, I hold an active Illinois Paraprofessional Educator license, and I am a certified professional organizer. I homeschooled my own kids Preschool to 5th grade, so I love building learning into everyday moments, especially early reading and hands-on creativity. Expect lots of arts and crafts, imaginative play, and activities that keep kids engaged and having fun while also building skills. I would love to connect if you are seeking care and are interested in my services!

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.

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! :)
