I love caring for children and helping them become kind, honest, and healthy individuals. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I have worked with children with special needs such as autism, ADHD, wheelchair users, non-verbal communication, and bathroom assistance. I have extensive experience with trauma-informed care for children. During my work at domestic violence shelters, I helped them process their changes in environment and other major life adjustments. I will tidy up and perform some light housework. You will always come home to a calm, clean environment, so all you will need to do is relax.

I have cared for and raised my three daughters, and now babysit my 9 grandchildren, ages 7 to 22. After 27 years in an office setting, I am now semi-retired, but have plenty of energy to expand my love for children by offering babysitting services to your children. I am fun and creative, and enjoy bringing out a child's curiosity through games, reading, outdoor nature activities, and crafts. I believe in nurturing a child's individuality through love and encouragement. At this point, I’m limiting my childcare to ages 3 and older. I am soon to be American Red Cross CPR and First Aid certified, and have taken early childhood education classes. References provided upon your request

Hello! I'm Rebecca and I have just recently graduated high school as an early grad! I moved down to Florida from Illinois this month to be with my parents until I attend college in the fall. As a high schooler I took a child development class and also got certified for CPR and AED. I have been babysitting sense I was twelve years old and have worked and volunteered in church childcares working with infants through 12 year olds. I have also nannied over this past summer for 9 hours a day for a wonderful family. They had a 5 year old boy and a 1 year old girl who were both an absolute joy to work with. I have always loved children and considered myself to have a natural ability to work with them. I have a very soft and kind heart, making it even sweeter to be with kids. I am very patient and loving towards not only kids, but anyone and everyone. I recently went on a mission trip to Tucson, Arizona and ran a vacation bible school for kids of all ages. That has only grown my love for kids and helping them in any way I can!

With over nine years of hands-on experience caring for children from toddlerhood through grade school—including children with autism and diverse developmental needs—I bring a calm, nurturing, and structured approach to every family I support. I’ve worked with a wide range of families, from busy after-school schedules to full-time, live-in nanny roles. Whether helping siblings navigate sibling dynamics, organizing household routines, or providing one-on-one behavioral support in the classroom, I’m committed to creating safe, enriching environments where children thrive.

Being the eldest of my siblings, with an age gap of 15 yrs and 21yrs, put me in a position to learn the needs of children front and center. I joke that I was more of their parent than actually their sibling. My caretaker background continues as an after school counselor for the Y.M.C.A. in the K.A.S.P.E.R program. Also, I was working with special needs children in the N.W.S.R.A. I received my certificate in first aid and CPR with those positions. I received a bachelor’s in marketing communications and am looking for a position with children currently, as it is rewarding and a change of pace is what I need. I enjoy creativity, imagination, and play. Art projects and science projects, and learning activities are things I would love to share with your children. I am reliable, empathetic, and kind. I am so looking forward to meet you and your kiddos!

Hi! I graduated from Drake University with a BS in psychology and I also have an associates degree in criminal justice. I currently live in Vernon Hills with my 3 year old daughter and our two dogs. I LOVE to cook healthy and colorful meals. I am CPR and CPI certified, and have experience with autism and special needs. I work for TrueNorth full time during the school year as an RBT, and also work part time as a program assistant for NSSRA and an autism services clinic as an RBT. I am currently looking for summer or weekend work, but have some flexibility to fill in for last minute needs during the week. I have over 20 years experience in childcare, 13 of which I worked as a nanny.
