Hi there , A little bit about myself is that I'm a fun-loving babysitter. My name is Kathia I’m a Dekalb High School graduate looking to further my education with working with children. In high school I participated in my schools childcare “Alphabitty Chidlcare Program” learned many things as well as got certified in many areas .I love interacting with kids and being funny and goofy meanwhile still have them listen and respect me. Coloring, dancing, reading, making crafts It's all very easy for me to connect with kids. Keeping the child's well-being is something I take very seriously. I'm a healthy balance of an easy going/patient attitude, and assertive when needed. I understand the importance of my role, and I'm willing to take on that responsibility with your children,Thank you! CPR certified I have been working in a daycare from February 2023 up until now and I have been a floater helping in all of the classrooms and have 2 school age classrooms with 30 kids from k-5 I would say I am very experienced and I nannied for many families as well as a family of 3 for 2 1/2 years

Hello! My name is Linda, a 22 year old recent college graduate. I graduated from Elmhurst University with my Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a minor in Psych. Back in Elmhurst I also worked at an immediate care, meaning I am BLS certified. I used to nanny and babysit for many families back on campus, but am back in Rockford. I love kids and can provide many references. I am great with engaging kids and keeping them active with minimum screen time, as requested by parents. I met so many families back in Elmhurst, many of which I still keep in contact with. Looking to meet a family I can grow with :)

Hello! My name is Bella Rosado, and I love working with children. I was a nanny for a summer before I got internships related to my studies, and provided regular babysitting in the years prior and after that summer. The boys I took care of labeled me as "Best Babysitter Bella", becuas we had a BLAST together, so I am hoping to maintain that title! My skills include housekeeping, pet care, safe driving practices, meal/snack prep, and much more to make you and your kids happy and at ease. I have a reliable midsize SUV, no crash record, and am willing to drive the kids or run errands if needed. Some more about me... I LOVE being outside and playing games. I am on the golf team at Olivet, and am double majoring in Accounting and Finance. I am always down for some outside or inside play/game time. I love to be creative and encourage children to do the same, with skills in sewing, graphic design, card-making, etc. As a babysitter, my goal is to encourage children to act responsibly, but stay curious. I love to enable each child's personal interests and make sure they know that I am happy to hear and learn about things that make them happy! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, hope to get in touch soon! Bella

Hi there, my name is Micaiah, or Mickey for short. I'm dedicated to creating a safe, active, and fun environment for your kids, and I have 7 years of structured child experience that I'd love to share with you. I spent 4 years volunteering at YMCA Camp Winnebago as an apprentice counselor, then joined as a paid staff member for the last 3 years, where I now serve as a Site Lead for an after school care site. In this role, I supervise and support a team of workers, oversee daily schedules and safety procedures, and serve as the main point of contact for parents. Through the YMCA, I've mastered group management, creative activity planning, and positive behavioral guidance for children 5-14 years of age. In addition to camp, I've regularly volunteered at different churches as a student tutor and Sunday school helper. I love incorporating educational support and creative learning into my babysitting time! Safety is my top priority. I'm fully CPR and First Aid certified, with a clean driving record and reliable transportation. Whether you need an engaging after-school helper, homework support, or a trusted weekend sitter, I look forward to supporting your family! References are available upon request.

Hi! My names Mary, I am a 20 year old graduate who has been babysitting since I was 11. I am a very energetic, happy, and caring caregiver. I have experience with babysitting as well as being a nanny, I can do both. I have one niece and one nephew who I have watched throughout the years, as well as many younger cousins. I am going to community college so I will be available even after summer. I enjoy doing activities with the children as well as taking them places. I can watch the kids either at my house or yours, whichever works better for you. I also have a 3 1/2 nephew that loves to play with other kids if you’re comfortable with him coming with me occasionally or bringing the kids back to my house to play and hang out! I have a pretty flexible schedule, and am always up to help. I do have another nannying job that varies week to week but on days I don’t have them am very happy to help any way I can. I have always loved children and am told I have a special way with them.
