Lindsay W., Babysitter in Joliet, IL 60435 with 24 years of paid experience

Thank you for viewing my profile.. I am Lindsay, a college graduate, divorced, mother of four. Caring for children has always come natural to me. Innate love, compassion and patience in caregiving has taught me to teach & guide children in a gentle way. I was an attachment parent (baby wearing, bonded, close contact) with all four of my own children. I allow the child take the lead for creativity and exploration of their environment, with appropriate boundaries for safety and rules of the home. Respect, communication and understanding are very important to me in caregiver- parent dynamic, as well as with the children. I am available Monday, Friday and weekends, hours as needed. I want your children to be as comfortable as possible with me while you are gone. I prefer to meet in person once before beginning babysitting. I also love having phone interviews if you’d like to do that. Please contact me for a reference list and/or to set up an interview. My rates are listed but I am willing to work for rates outside of what is listed. Please contact me if you are interested even if my rate is higher than what you’re looking for. To add, I have my bachelor's of science in elementary education from Northern Illinois University. I was certified in CPR for infants and children on 9/13/2023. Because I have worked in day care facilities, I have my fingerprints on file for background checks in the state of Illinois. I also have a background check on file. If you would like to view it, please request it though the website. In my experience, I have worked in three day care facilities, mainly infant and toddler rooms, from 1998 until 2003 and again short term in 2017 and 2023. I also did some short-term nannying for three families during my college years. After college, I taught a 4-year-old preschool class at Kindercare Learning Center, from 2003 to 2005. When my son was born, in May of 2005, I started to nanny full time. Since then, I have worked as a nanny, as a home daycare provider and babysitting, for 21 different families to present day.

Linda A., Babysitter in Joliet, IL 60435 with 25 years of paid experience

Hello, I’m Linda and I'm 50 years old & a cancer survivor. I have worked as a nanny for over 25 years also including babysitting from my teens and on. I enjoy crafts, rolling around in the grass, looking for bugs, chalking on the sidewalks along w/ trips to parks, museums, swim & music classes, and Library trips for story time. I have also been in the financial industry for twenty nine years but have never lost the love of caring for children. At this time in my life my husband has convinced me to follow what I love. This would be working with children full time. I serve at my church in the infant & two year old room as a lead teacher. I also have worked at Kinder-care & Just Plane Kids. Since I was young I gravitated towards children and my love to be around them as well as caring for them has never changed. I've worked in the financial Industry for 29 years and helped clients with opening accounts to planning their retirement plans. I've opened up 529 Plans for their children and seen them grow up to use these accounts. So in my years of helping families I still benefited helping children. When dealing with clients with children and helping them during tantrums or keeping them busy as their parents review documents. Raising my niece along with working at KinderCare and Just plane Kids for a total of five years. In those years I rotated between the infant room and two year old room. I have experience hands on in facilities but over 20 years of raising and loving other families children. I would love to have the opportunity to meet you and speak to you openly about my experiences and how much I would love to help you care for your children. Thank you for your time, Linda M Arnold Velarde 630-220-9115
