Sittercity helps Grayslake families find the best babysitters

Caring for children has always come naturally to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. I love being a sitter because I know how much trust it takes to leave your little ones in someone else’s care. I do everything I can to help both children and parents feel safe, supported, and respected. Whether it’s playtime, nap time, or a challenging moment, I aim to bring calm, connection, and patience to every interaction. I was a nanny for over 5 years before transitioning into the healthcare field, where I most recently worked as a health care educator. Through both paths, one thing has always remained true: I love taking care of people. I am currently a full-time student enrolled in online courses and I’ve returned to part-time childcare. I’ve built strong relationships with families and continued with occasionally babysitting over the years. Date nights for parents are still important! I’m CPR certified and experienced with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged kids. My background in healthcare and education gives me a unique edge when it comes to attentiveness, safety, and developmental awareness. I bring a warm, grounded energy into the home, and I’m often told I’m the kind of sitter kids feel instantly comfortable around. If you’re looking for someone dependable, emotionally attuned, and genuinely passionate about caregiving, I’d love to connect with your family!

Hello.  I have been in the childcare field for over 28 years specializing in providing the best care for your child/children while parents are working and/or attending school.  I provide "hands-on" and nuture as I feel this is very important.  I have specialized training in the fields of asthma, special needs, child abuse, sexual abuse, cpr/first aid certification as well as Child Development.  I work with children who have speech impairments, learning disabilities as well as teaching pre-school for chidren getting ready for kindergarden. I provide transportation to schools - District 3 (Beach Park Schools) and District 6 (Zion Schools) if needed.  I provide back-up care, sick care as well as vacation/summer care.  Nothing is more rewarding then having one of your daycare children comeup to you at the end of the day and say "I love you Miss Jan - your the best" with a hug/kiss.  It makes my job so rewarding.  I have had children from newborn to middle school who often bring up things that had happened (potty training, that special birthday party, stickers for good deeds) which often makes me feel that all my work has made this child excel in life and its a wonderful feeling.

I have experience caring for multiple children, twins, newborns, and school aged children. I’m starting to learn sign language and starting to learn how to work one on one with an autistic child. I’m learning how to help with daily routines and working side by side with therapists. I do have experience with caring for multiple children at once, including twins. I love doing outdoor and indoor activities; hand painting, coloring, and reading books are a normal part of our day. My days are full of different ideas to keep creative little minds going. Having raised 2 daughters of my own, I learned that having a fun day is most important!! I became a Certified Nurse Assistant in 2005, and worked as a Patient Care Tech for about 3 years, and I am CPR certified. My experience as a Nanny includes a variety of tasks in addition to childcare, including: light housekeeping, transportation to/from school and activities, cooking, and running errands. I am extremely reliable, never calling off work, and always on time. I am also very flexible with my schedule, and can start early or stay late on short notice. I am fully vaccinated, a non-smoker, and have reliable transportation. Happy to provide detailed resume and current references upon request. Diane M
