I am a wife of 30 years, mom of 3 and grandma to 3 sweet little blessings. I have spent the last 20 plus years home educating my children, and teaching many students at a local homeschool co-op. I have worked in children's ministry as staff and as a volunteer for many years. I love being able help others out in a time of need...whether it is caring for children, senior care, or even furry animals. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am skilled in all aspects of child care, errand running, transportation to doctor visits, creative crafts, help with homework, light housekeeping, and meal prep. Our spare time is spent traveling to see our little blessings who call us grandma and papa. Please feel free to reach out and ask for references/resume. I would love to help our your family.

You don't need to look any further...you have found the sitter for you! Shona has been a mentor, teacher, and "second" mom to my 4 daughters. She sincerely and genuinely cares for people, especially children, and their well-being. Shona was born to be a caregiver. She has great insight and wonderful counsel. Her intuitiveness was a blessing when my child was having a difficult day. I was always so thankful for her compassion!

Hello! I bring diverse babysitting experience with ages 1 to 15, coupled with first aid and CPR certifications as A CNA. Holding a valid driver's license for six years, I'm well-prepared for any situation. Beyond babysitting, I spent a rewarding year as a teaching intern with third graders at Kolmar School in Crestwood, Illinois, showcasing my ability to work effectively with larger groups of children. I have also been certified as a nursing assistant/ caregiver. I'm committed to providing a safe and engaging environment for your little ones!

Tina H., Babysitter in Grant Park, IL 60940 with 3 years of paid experience

I’m a retired mother age 55 that has raised 3 beautiful, successful children. I just ended a 3 yr. Nanny position for 2 children ages 5 & 11. I started when the little guy was 2 yrs old. I changed diapers, made bottles, successfully potty trained in him in one week. During the school year I came early, helped get them up, made breakfast & drove them to school. Pick up after school & care for them til 5pm. During the Summers, I babysit 5 days a week, 9 hours a day. I drove the children to and from all extracurricular activities including sports. I am a hands on Nanny. We played games, went swimming, went to the movies, the zoo, parks, water parks. You name it I do it! I have grown to love that family very much!!. But as the children are in school full time I am ready for my next journey with your family. I have my own clean, safe car & I am good with pets. I am available on Tuesdays & Thursdays 7:30 am to 5pm.

Tina has nannied for our family for almost two and a half years. My kids are 4 and 11 years old. The kids love her and she keeps them busy interacting with them. My daughter loves her egg sandwiches so much, my daughter will only let Tina make them for her. She is very intentional with how she interacts with the neighbors and their kids, so not to upset anyone. She has brought my kids to multiple recurring activities (sports, summer camps) including school (Drop-off and pickup). She truly cares for them as if they were her own.

I love children, I am looking to add to my income. I am on Disability and just need some extra money to pay bills. I am always on time and have raised 3 children of my own and have 4 grandchildren. So I think this is plenty of experience. Children that are around me do not want me to leave.
