Linda A., Babysitter in Newark, IL 60541 with 25 years of paid experience

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. Thank you for your time, Linda M Arnold Velarde

We have used Emily for the past year and cannot say enough about how amazaing she is. We conducted many interviews but Emily stood out instantly. She is very responsible, caring, creative and nuturing. Due to a change in her scool schedule she is no longer available to us. We are terribly sad but will be sure to still have her watch our son for date nights!

Hannah B., Babysitter in Newark, IL 60541 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Hannah and I'm a homeschooling mom with some incredibly social kids. We love going on hikes, going to the park, playing basketball, swimming, painting, and reading books. I'm experienced as you can get with young children as I have two of my own and have babysat throughout my life as favors to friends and family. The children I've cared for range from infancy to preteen and I've enjoyed working with all ages. I've taken adult and infant CPR classes as well as first aid. I'm willing to make food/snacks, help with homework, and plan a variety of activities. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I look forward to working with you and your family!

Hannah watched our children while we were in town for a wedding at Starved Rock. She was professional, responsible, and did a great job. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter.

My name is Angela and I am very interested in your nanny job posting. I have a BA in Psychology from DePaul University including courses in child development. During school I tutored elementary age students specifically on reading. For 6 years I worked with special needs adults maintaining their behavioral, social and medical needs while maintaining regular communication with their family members. I also have experience at a nursing home providing the residents services they request as well as observing their psychosocial needs. I also taught at a daycare as a teacher for 3 year olds. I worked full time for a 2 and 4 year old till they entered preschool. I have worked as a nanny for a family in Naperville to assist with their 7 and 12-year-old boys before and after school. For the past two years I have worked with a family and their two children. We recently moved to Sandwich and enjoy the charm of our home. I am looking for a position near by where I can bring my 5 and 2 year old sons along with me. I am dependable, thorough and compassionate. I am very interested in meeting with you for an interview. Thanks for your time, Angela Caprio
