Dulce has been a fantastic babysitter. Our two year old daughter connected with her immediately. Dulce gets down on her level to play, gives a detailed report of what happened during the day, and has been very dependable. We hired her for a short term weekly job. She always showed up on time and was ready to get to work as soon as she got there. We’ll definitely keep her on the top of our list for babysitters for date nights.

Venus T., Babysitter in Oswego, IL 60543 with 9 years of paid experience

I love kids, I think this is the best quality in a person that you should look for. Kids are a delight. I have 8 nieces and 3 nephews, this is where my desire to take care of kids came from. They grow up so fast that you can't get enough of their nature. Being here, I am hoping to embrace a family in need and to be able to help raise a child. I am a yogi therefore very calm & patient. I am reliable, organize, passionate, caring, trustworthy and have a lot of love to share. Safety is my priority. Thanks for the time, may this be the beginning of a lifetime friendship. Have a wonderful day.

Linda A., Babysitter in Oswego, IL 60543 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 22 years of raising and loving other families children. My current availability is Thursdays and Fridays. Also with enough notice I can do weekends. 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

Michelle was a great help to our family! She was extremely kind and truly loved my kids. She was very good at sending updates during the day especially when she had to pick up/drop off the kids. I knew they were safe in her care :)

Jill P., Babysitter in Oswego, IL 60543 with 4 years of paid experience

My name is Jill Patel and I would love to be your next helper! I am a rising junior at the university of pittsburgh where I am majoring in neuroscience and child development. A little bit about me is that I love all kinds of animals, I can speak 4 languages fluently (English, Gujarati, Hindi, French), and I love the outdoors. I has lots of experience with kids since I was a nanny for a 2 year old and an 8 month old, and I have been a tennis coach for 4 years. I adore kids of all ages and love to connect with each of them. They bring a fresh perspective to everything and can brighten up any sad day. Working as a tennis coach with children as young as 3 and adults as old as 60, I have picked up a lot of tips and tricks when it comes to working and engaging with children. I believe that my job has really given me an insight on what goes on their little minds and how I can form a relationship with them. So I’ve encountered any and all situations with kids from ad young as infants and up to high schoolers. I like to approach with a more hands-on approach regarding activities, with limited screen time. I always have lots of games, stories, educative learning, and imagery play ready to go!

Jill is phenomenal. She is very attentive to my rambunctious kindergartner, respectful and above all follows through on what she says she will do, even if it’s not super convenient for her. She is kind, intelligent and personable. I definitely recommend her and plan on keeping her on speed dial.

Dana put my Mama heart at ease. She asked me questions about my sons interests before I left, and she sent me a text update while I was away, and she cleaned up before she left. She was respectful of our home and so caring towards our son. She played with him and kept him entertained which he loved. She also gave me a summary of what he ate and what they did, which I really appreciate.

Abilyn P., Babysitter in Oswego, IL 60543 with 10 years of paid experience

I’m a reliable, nurturing, and dedicated nanny with over 10 years of hands-on childcare experience. I’ve worked with children of all ages, including infants, and truly love creating a safe, engaging, and loving environment where kids can grow and feel understood. I take pride in making everyday moments special—whether that’s planning fun outdoor activities, crafts, or simply being present and attentive to each child’s unique needs. My current long-term position is coming to an end as the youngest child is starting kindergarten, and I’m now looking for a full-time summer role with the hope of continuing into a long-term position with the right family. I value strong communication, mutual respect, and becoming a supportive, dependable part of a family’s daily life. I love being outside, staying active, and encouraging creativity and curiosity in children. I can also provide strong references from families I’ve worked closely with over the years. I’m reliable, nurturing, and genuinely love being around kids. Whether it’s arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, or playdates, I try to make the most out of each experience. I’m also comfortable with light housekeeping related to the kids, and managing routines/activities. If you’re looking for someone dependable and experienced to jump in a few days a week this summer, I’d love to connect!!! ☺️☀️
