Isabella  G., Babysitter in Granite City, IL 62040 with 10 years of paid experience

I’m a sophomore at WashU studying math and have 10 years of babysitting experience with kids from the ages of 1 to 13. My go to activity when babysitting is to either take the kids out to the park, or if rainy, enjoy an indoor crafting session! I have my own car, so I could easily drive to wherever you’re located! I’m also CPR and First Aid certified (expires and will be renewed July 2027).

Isabella did a fantastic job babysitting our kiddos, aged 1 and 9. She was very timely, responsible and organized, and we really appreciated how fast she was able to adapt to our kids’ needs and their routines. She went above and beyond, not only providing exceptional childcare, but helping around the house too. Our kids always look forward to babysitting nights with Isa!

Claire D., Babysitter in Granite City, IL 62040 with 17 years of paid experience

I have been working with children professionally as a full time nanny for the past 23 years. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, including experience with twins and in nanny shares. I love to form a bond with the children I work with; I have stayed with most of my nanny families from when their child was a newborn or infant until they began preschool, 2 to 3 years later. I love spending time with kids; they always keep me on my toes! I really enjoy reading books, singing and playing with babies and young children, and taking them out to the park on a nice day. I also incorporate my love of animals and nature in our day, as I love to teach children about the living world around them, and help to bring out their inner scientist. I grew up in the Northern Virginia area just outside of Washington DC; I got my AS at NVCC, before finishing up my BS in Biology at George Mason University. I lived in Portland, OR for over 10 years, before moving to Collinsville, IL in August 2022. In my free time I bike, hike, swim, practice yoga, and cook healthy meals.

Cameron V., Babysitter in Granite City, IL 62040 with 7 years of paid experience

I have over seven years of professional caregiving experience. All of the years of professional experience have included working with children and adults with special needs. I have worked with all ages, from nine months to ninety-seven years old. I used to work for the Wisconsin Early Autism Project using Applied Behavior Analysis, also known as play therapy, to help children with autism develop life skills. I still use the techniques I learned regularly in my current career as a sitter. I'm good at fostering a fun, educational environment. I am a very active and engaged sitter. I like to play games, make art, and play music. I use every opportunity to help children learn something new. I can help with homework and light housekeeping. I am a musician and I love to share my knowledge and love of music. I have experience watching up to six children at a time. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I am CPR and first aid certified, and registered with the Missouri Family Care Safety Registry. I will provide my resume upon request.

I am pleased to recommend Cameron Verde for the position of babysitter or nanny. Cameron brings over six years of experience in caregiving, with a strong background supporting individuals from infancy to late adulthood. His work history reflects a deep commitment to compassionate, client-focused care and a remarkable ability to adapt to the needs of children and adults with varying abilities. In his current role as our sitter, Cameron watches my twin 1-year-olds twice a week. He's been with us since they were about 10 months old. After school hours, holidays, and date nights, he also watches our 3-, 4-, and 10-year-old. Cameron is great with all the ages/kids. He is a kind soul and a quick learner. I think one of my dogs even likes him more than he likes me now! Cameron has demonstrated a talent for building trusting relationships with our family, engages our children in developmentally appropriate activities, and maintains open and effective communication with us as parents and his employer. His previous experience as a Behavior Technician and Group Home Staff member highlights his skill in behavior management, medication administration, and documentation—critical competencies for ensuring the safety and well-being of children. Cameron’s qualifications are further supported by his Nursing Assistant Technical Diploma and certifications in CPR and First Aid. His additional skills in American Sign Language, autism support, and clinical documentation make him especially well-suited for families seeking a caregiver with both empathy and expertise. Cameron’s volunteer work also speaks to his community-mindedness and ability to work collaboratively in high-pressure environments. His calm demeanor, attention to detail, and genuine care for others make him a standout candidate for any family seeking a reliable and nurturing caregiver. I confidently recommend Cameron Verde for any childcare role and believe he would be a valuable asset to any household.

Samantha S., Babysitter in Granite City, IL 62040 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Samantha! I currently work as a CPR certified personal trainer with a Bachelor's in Foods and Nutrition from SDSU. Despite my current field in health and nutrition, I have worked with kids since i before I was 13 years old. Most of my experience has been volunteer through my churches, but I also have years worth of babysitting experiencing kids of different ages. I also have experience as a tutor. When I was in junior high, I used to help out with the preschool and toddler classes at church. By the time I was 13, I was a teacher for the preschool class. I did this for five years, and I often babysat for the kids in my class as well. It broke my heart to say goodbye to all of my students when I moved to San Diego to pursue a degree in nutrition. After moving to San Diego, I spent a couple of years working in the 2 year old class at my church. I had to stop when the church closed down. The last couple years have been focused entirely on my degree. However, I really miss working with kids. I enjoys making up fun games to play and listening to their crazy made up stories. I know how hard it can be to pick a sitter for your child. I would love to meet up with you in person and let you interview me so that you can feel more comfortable.

Samantha was an amazing nanny. My husband became a stay at home dad which is the only reason we let her go. I would hire her back in an instant. Always on time. Always reliable. She took care of every need we had and was unbothered by son during his teething phase. We had her for only 6 months but she was a life-saver for me. My son can be very energetic and she kept up with him and encouraged his learning and development.
