Sittercity helps Mokena families find the best babysitters

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 as an interim caregiver from 6/15/25 through 7/5/25. I am available full time including weekends . After 7/5/25, 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 through Palos Community Hospital on April 21, 2005. Because I have worked in day care facilities, I have my fingerprints on file for background checks in the state of Illinois (Crestwood location). 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. 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 19 different families to present day.

A highly energetic and motivated babysitter who is willing to care for kids in a fun, playful manner! I enjoy activities such as reading, writing, playing games, coloring, doing puzzles, outdoor activities, and many more. 2+ years experienced and CPR certified.

Hello! My name is Rachel, and it would be an honor to babysit your children. With my 6 years of experience in a paid childcare setting and an additional 3 years unpaid babysitting for friends and family, I ensure your children will be in great hands. I also have a child of my own who is now nine years old, which gives me some parenting experience. I have plenty of involvement with assisting children to meet the appropriate developmental stages for their age. I have multiple outlets for learning activities including fine motor and large motor skills. When babysitting, I will sometimes bring a bag filled with some materials to help assist with games and crafts (with permission). Kids usually love my big imagination, that I love to sing, my sensory crafts, and my outdoor skills/activities. Some extra duties I am willing to help out with would include light household cleaning if time, parents, and children allow it, potty training, grocery pick-up, and meal prep. I currently nanny for a family in Frankfort Monday through Thursday and I’m looking to fill my Fridays along with the weekends!

Mom is off until January, so I can even extend it to that time if needed and also possibly open to staying with new family! Please contact me if you’re interested.

I have been babysitting for 20+ years along with nannying jobs throughout that time. I have always enjoyed playing with and caring for children. I am a mother to my almost 3 year old son, who loves playing with other kids while also having a good understanding of taking turns and using gentle play. I've been a cheerleading and dance coach as well as tumbling instructor for 15 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in dance, and I earned my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with children and adolescents. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Illinois for 5 years in practice. I work part time as a telehealth therapist in the evenings and on Thursdays and Fridays. I have Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays reserved for at-home one on one time with my son, but we are looking for more kids and laughter to fill our home on those days. I like to keep the little ones in my care active and engaged while at the same time respectfully reinforcing guidelines and specific instructions that are set by each family. Some additional information on how I care for babies, toddlers, and children: I am great with finding creative activities to do indoors on rainy days but LOVE outdoor activities for when it is nice outside! We live walking distance from a park and have a secure wagon with seatbelts. I am truly fascinated in the development of children both cognitively and emotionally. I enjoy interacting with them as they learn and experience new things! I can also prepare nutritious meals and snacks in our smoke-free, pet-free home.
