Find experienced babysitters in Newark, IL

Hello, My name is Linda and I’ve been a nanny for over 10 years and been a sitter since I was a teenager. I’m 50 years old and have 3 children in college and a grown adopted niece who I raised since she was 7. Children mean the world to me and loving, guiding, teaching and seeing them become their own little humans brings me so much joy. I’d love to share more information about myself with you if you have. Thank you

Hi! My name is Kanyiti, and I’m a CPR-certified, non-smoking caregiver with 4 years of diverse childcare experience. I specialize in caring for children of all ages, having spent 2 years babysitting little ones and another 2 years working with children in kindergarten and first grade in after-school programs and at the YMCA. I also worked a couple summers as a camp counselor primarily with 6th and 7th graders. In summer 2023, I had the opportunity to volunteer at an elementary school in Ghana, where I supported early childhood education and gained even more hands-on experience with young children. My background has helped me develop a strong understanding of child development, routines, and how to create a nurturing, engaging environment. I love planning fun, age-appropriate activities like sensory play, stroller walks, music time, story time, and baby-safe arts and crafts for younger kids and bike rides, board games, baking and outdoor games for older kids. I’m also a proud cat owner of three, so I’m very comfortable in homes with pets of all kinds! I’m based in Yorkville, have a fully open and flexible schedule this summer, and am passionate about helping children thrive. I’d love the opportunity to care for your little one and be a positive part of your family’s routine!

Hello! I'm Taryn, a 21-year-old senior at Lincoln Memorial University with an exercise science major and a psychology minor. I'm on a pre-doctoral track for occupational therapy, and my dream is to be a pediatric occupational therapist. I'm trying to find a part—or full-time nanny job for this summer, and I'm always open to babysitting on an as-needed basis. With 8+ years of babysitting experience, I've worked at an after-school daycare program, as full-time nanny the past few summers, and as a regular babysitter for local families during the school year. My experience spans from infants to 6th graders, including children with special needs including autism, non-verbal communication, and a range of behavioral challenges. I have a unique perspective on special needs care due to my close relationship with my 10 year old brother. He was fostered and adopted as a newborn and is currently diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder, ADHD, and a generalized anxiety disorder. With trauma and drug exposure in utero he was diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder and ADHD. I prioritize creating a positive, nurturing environment for every child in my care. My experience has equipped me with the skills to handle a wide range of situations, including severe behavioral outbursts, with patience and understanding. I'm available during most afternoons/evenings, and during the weekends, and I'm always happy to meet with families before committing, to make sure we're good fit! Please don't hesitate to reach out - I look forward to meeting you and your kiddos!
