**My goal is to not only provide wonderful care to your children, but to make your life as a parent easier!** Hi there! I am a non-smoking, fun, honest, and dependable female residing in Hoffman Estates, IL seeking Part-Time babysitting positions in the Chicago Northwest/West Suburb areas. I have over 20 years of experience with children of all ages; ranging from newborns to adolescents, and from twins to triplets. I also have reliable transportation, so not only will I be able to drive to your home to watch your children, but I can also take them out for activities and/or any social engagement they need to be at, if desired or necessary. I was also certified in CPR and First Aid in 2007 and am willing to re-certify to remain current. In addition to my qualifications, I absolutely love children. I sincerely enjoy being with them. I think it takes Read more a very unique and special person to work with children... you either have that "knack" or you don't. I truly believe I have that quality; and so do the families I currently work for and have worked for. :) I think the most important element in having a nanny or babysitter is really knowing them on a personal level as well. Many times that person becomes essentially a part of the family. I love developing these relationships and watching the children grow. I have several families who have moved away over the years, but still remain in touch.... Which is really special. In addition to providing wonderful care to your children, I am also comfortable with keeping the house clean, cooking, bathing the children, doing laundry, etc. I hope to hear from you soon! :) Note: More than willing to run background check as a last part of hiring process. I have run it many times over the years with 100% positive results.

We found Michelle through Sitter City being new to the area, and in the 5 years that we utilized her, she was AWESOME! Besides being incredibly reliable, she's a sitter who plays with the kids, the house is always picked up when we get home and our kids always looked forward to the next time she would come over. Moving out of the area, having Michelle as a babysitter is one of the things we'll absolutely miss the most!!!
