Sittercity helps Manteno families find the best babysitters

Hi! My name is Lauren! I have four younger siblings that I have been in charge of babysitting/nannying for the last 4 years! They’re adopted that’s why it’s only been for the last four years. I love getting to be around kids because they’re honestly so funny and unexpected :) I would drive my siblings around, cook for them, take them to the store, and do a lot of cleaning. I’m also a theatre student at Oliver so I’m sure I can be entertaining!

I was a teachers assistant for special needs students for eight years. For the past 11 years, I have been a nanny for children ages newborn to 12 years old. I raised twins of my own. I am very patient and nurturing, I enjoy reading stories to children, playing children’s music and singing with them. I enjoy teaching children numbers, letters, colors, shapes, and their phone number and address. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, playing games, puzzles, baking cupcakes, and coloring Easter eggs. I have experience helping with homework. I enjoy working with all ages of children. I am very active enjoy taking children for a long walks, going to the park, and playing in the backyard. I have done meal preparation, laundry, and light housekeeping. I ran errands and dropped off children at school and picked them up from after-school activities. I am college educated. I am a non-smoker. I am CPR certified and first aid trained. I am an animal lover I was a volunteer at an animal rescue for 10 years. I am seeking a part-time position 12 to 25hrs. a week .Thank you for your kind consideration. Laura

Always loved children since I was a child. Starting teaching preschool at my church at age 18. I have done so many types of volunteer work (with my children being involved as well), but the most rewarding has always been with helping children. They are our future and I believe parenting is not only the most important job we can have, but also the best and definitely the most rewarding. I studied Elementary Education in college years ago, but have always had the natural instinct to teach, especially while playing. I sure would love an opportunity to make a difference in other angel's lives.

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.

I'm an 18-year-old high school graduate heading for college this fall. I love working with kids and have been working many childcare jobs intermittently for the past few years. Some of my experience includes: Caring for a family with five children, working at a summer camp with young students, and working at my local AWANA and VBS as a volunteer. I took a general first aid class a few years ago. I am extremely flexible and am ready to do whatever is required. Thank you!

With five years of babysitting experience and currently studying at Olivet Nazarene University, I’m all about keeping kids engaged and happy! Whether cooking up adventures in the kitchen or crafting outside, I thrive on communication and building strong relationships with both parents and little ones!

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 love children and my biggest dream is being a mom. I currently work as a Firefighter/EMT so I have lots of medical training. I would love if you gave me the opportunity to show you my skills!
