Find experienced babysitters in Mokena, IL

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.

Hi! I’m Cassandra (Cassie), and I have an enormous love for children and a passion for making every moment fun, safe, and educational. Whether you're looking for a regular babysitter, Nanny, need a few hours to focus, or want to enjoy a night out, I’d love to help! Growing up in a big family with cousins ranging from babies to teens, I’ve always been surrounded by kids, which is where my passion for childcare began. With experience babysitting children of all ages—3 months to 13 years old—I’ve learned how to make kids feel comfortable, entertained, and engaged through creative play. I’m always looking for ways to tailor activities to each child’s unique interests, whether it’s arts and crafts, games, or even a little dance break to get the wiggles out! I also know how frustrating homework can be (especially math!), so I’m more than happy to lend a hand with schoolwork, ensuring the experience is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. In addition to my practical experience, I completed a child development course in high school, and my background in music has allowed me to introduce children to the joy of singing, dancing, and playing “instruments” (pots & pans count). Music is a huge part of my life, and I’m excited to share that with kids, whether teaching them a new song, having a spontaneous dance party, or just using music to inspire creativity and expression. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, so I can connect with a wide range of families and children. What I truly enjoy about babysitting is getting to know each child and helping them grow in their unique way. As a youth and kids ministry leader, my faith drives me to create environments where others feel safe, valued, and loved. I’m a joyful, energetic, patient, and compassionate person who believes in showing love, kindness, and respect to everyone, especially children, and I strive to reflect these values in all I do. If desired, I’m also open to sharing my faith and teaching children biblical principles about God's love in a fun, gentle, and welcoming way if that is something you’re also looking for in a sitter. I’m committed to making sure that every child I care for has a positive, enriching experience with me. Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a reliable, fun-loving sitter who is always ready to make your child’s day a little brighter!

Hi I'm Ryan, I've worked in daycare centers and summer camps. I graduated from South Suburban College. I've been in child care for about 12 years now, I've had 2 nanny jobs and several babysitter jobs. I started babysitting a lot at 20 because I got step family that gave me 8 little siblings and I had to babysit some of their friends mostly during the summers. I like to be very active with the kids with play time or taking them to play at the park, Coloring books or reading books with them. Always down to watch a movie or play games on the tablets with them if allowed. I also love going places if needed. A little about me, Play basketball at the parks, Volunteer at animal shelters when possible, Definitely like my video games. I would say I'm very punctual, Very patient and kids love me.
