Marwah S., Babysitter in Northbrook, IL 60062 with 7 years of paid experience

Hello - I'm Marwah! I’m an educator, former Montessori pre-school teacher, nature enthusiast, and childcare provider. I have been educating and taking care of children of all ages for about 7 years, though my area of expertise is the toddler age (ages 2-4). My interests are birding, hiking, and reading. When babysitting, I like to engage children in their interests and spend time creating memories they can look back on fondly. Montessori philosophy guides my approach to caregiving (emphasis on child independence and respect for personhood). As a former Montessori preschool teacher, I helped students develop their gross and fine motor control, basic self care skills, and encouraged their creativity all while being led by their interests. I’m also a big believer in nature based play/learning. That means if child/parent are comfortable and weather isn’t hazardous, I like engaging young ones in age appropriate outdoor play. Past activities I’ve led with children are collecting and taking care of bugs in a terrarium, digging for worms, looking for cicada shells, and much more. Note: I provide care for ALL families! I hope to build a partnership with parents that is safe, tolerant, and open. Certifications and expertise: infant and toddler CPR certification, experience in diabetes 1 management in toddlers, experience in successful toilet training. I am also fully vaccinated + boosted and am COVID conscious. I have taken my mandated reporter training in 2024 and have completed background checks when I worked in Chicago Public Schools as of 2024. In terms of availability, my ideal babysitting job would be on an as needed basis in the weekday evenings (after 5PM) and the weekend (timing is flexible).

Susanna P., Babysitter in Northbrook, IL 60062 with 20 years of paid experience

Up to date on vaccines and CPR training. Willing to show proof. Available for daycare in my smoke-free, safety conscious home in Niles. I am available Monday through Friday 8a-12p, for weekly guaranteed hours or as needed basis. I choose to keep my daycare small for quality of care, cleanliness, and focused learning through play. At this time, I have a 1:2 adult to child ratio with one spot available. My home has every gate and I would love to give you a tour! I have owned and operated my home daycare in Niles since 2021. Worked as a Professional Nanny/Personal Assistant in the North Shore for the previous 10 years. Worked as a Professional Nanny for 10 years prior in Lincoln Park. Completed a Level 3 Credential in a Child Development program through the State in 2018. As a Daycare Provider I love to plan constructive activities, arts and crafts projects, backyard adventures- both fun and educational. Enjoy teaching a variety of subjects including reading, math, and milestone learning. Milestone learning programs are specifically customized and depend on the child’s age, personal growth, and development. My plethora of references can attest to the way children connect and feel comfortable with me. Please reach out for an application. I hope to hear from you!

Rosanne R., Babysitter in Northbrook, IL 60062 with 10 years of paid experience

I have many years of experience with children in a wide range of settings, including many years of babysitting for families in their homes, working as a summer camp counselor, as an assistant teacher in a daycare, and volunteering in two elementary schools. I raised my own son and I occasionally watch my 4 and 6 year old grandsons. In the past year and a half I have watched a 2.5 year old boy, an infant girl from age 3 to 6 months, a baby boy from 7 to 10 months, and an 8 year old girl. I completed a pediatric first aid and CPR class in November 2023. When I am watching children I do not use my cell phone (other than in case of emergency or if I need to schedule an appointment) as I want to give the kids my undivided attention. I especially enjoy reading to children, doing art projects together, and taking nature walks. I am very energetic, and on days when I am not babysitting, I typically take 4 - 5 mile walks along the lake. I am very happy to provide professional and personal references. Among the parents from whom I can provide references are a neonatologist, a professor of psychology, a nurse, and an elementary schoolteacher. As a caregiver, I am highly reliable, kind, warm, and fun. I love both kids and dogs. My schedule is typically very flexible, and I can often make myself available for last-minute requests. Thank you. Rosanne

Tenia S., Babysitter in Northbrook, IL 60062 with 7 years of paid experience

Ready to experience the best babysitter that your kids will be disappointed you came home? Hello, I am interested in becoming a babysitter for you! My name is Tenia. I have been working with children and adolescents my entire life, and have been working on Sittercity for a few years now, and have been working with the same families for 2-3 years as well. Working with children is my passion, whether it is therapeutic or fun! I don’t have any children of my own so looking over other families' children fills my baby/kid fever! I treat all children as if they were my own and I love watching them grow each day! You will not have to worry about leaving your children in my care! I strive to make sure both you as the parent and your children are comfortable so you can have peace while you are away from your kiddos! I am currently CPR-certified and will provide documentation if needed. I can drive children to activities, watch children at your home, watch children at my home, help with homework, prepare meals, and teach healthy skills. I have been babysitting for many years and these rates are based on my experience and quality of work! However, I am open to discussing prices! I am easygoing and welcome communication of any sorts! I believe all parents should be able to have access to babysitting care. I look forward to working with you and your kiddos! If you are happy with my services, please leave a review! :) If you are not happy, let’s talk! I am very open to feedback and criticism! I have a family that you can contact as a reference if needed! :)
