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.

Hi everyone! I currently work at a daycare as an assistant teacher while out of state for school and love what I do. I worked as a swim instructor with kids 2-17 and loved seeing their happy faces all day! I am CPR certified, First Aid certified and babysitting 101 certified.

I also have experience with special needs individuals working with motor skills, hygiene and any other lifestyle skills!

I am an enthusiastic sitter looking to spend my summer (and potentially long term) caring for a loving family! I have worked as an assistant teacher in a local Montessori school for the past three years where my love of childcare has grown into a passion for creating and cultivating an environment of developmentally appropriate play and activities. It is my goal to lead and love well, and as a sitter I value both play and intentionality. Outside of my time in the classroom I have 4+ years of experience babysitting/nannying. A little about me :) I would consider myself a fun loving and creative person and enjoy spending most of my time outdoors. In my free time I am stoked about travel, music festivals, playing guitar and film photography. I have an old english sheepdog who is my best buddy. And I am very passionate about my faith. I would love to answer any questions and provide references if you think I may be a good fit for your family!! -mia

I’m currently halfway through my junior year at College of Dupage, where I’m studying Human Services to eventually become a certified Social Worker, specializing in Family Life and Mental Health with children.. I come from a large family, where I was typically spending my weekends from the ages of 12-18, watching 5+ cousins of different ages, as well as working as a nanny for 1 year, for a 6 month old baby. I also worked as a preschool teacher at Oswego East Highschool for 2 years during my junior and senior years of highschool, and did take CPR training but can renew my card and training if preferred/asked to do so! It truly is a passion of mine to be a support system to young minds, the kind I needed growing up. Children are so insanely smart, and I really love doing activities that help expand their minds and imaginations!!

Hello! My name is Emily Weinstock. I’m from Minooka Illinois and I am a current junior at Concordia University Chicago. (This is where I live and spend most of my time, but I am will be home from school seasonally and some weekends.) I am an early childhood education major with several years of experience. I have always loved kids and love that I can now get paid to watch them. Every family I’ve babysat or nannied for have told me good things, but I am also always willing to learn. One promise with me is that I promise I will treat your kids with love and take care of them as if they were my own. I have experience with every different age group, but my favorites are infants-Kindergarten ages. I also love dogs, so it won’t be an issue if your furry friends are there. I am usually available evenings and weekends so if you need an occasional babysitter for date nights, I hope you’ll think of me. I would be so grateful for any opportunities given, and I hope to meet you and your families soon!
