Thank you for viewing my profile.. I am Lindsay, a college graduate, divorced, mother of four. Caring for children has always come natural to me. Innate love, compassion and patience in caregiving has taught me to teach & guide children in a gentle way. I was an attachment parent (baby wearing, bonded, close contact) with all four of my own children. I allow the child take the lead for creativity and exploration of their environment, with appropriate boundaries for safety and rules of the home. Respect, communication and understanding are very important to me in caregiver- parent dynamic, as well as with the children. I am available Monday, Friday and weekends, hours as needed. I want your children to be as comfortable as possible with me while you are gone. I prefer to meet in person once before beginning babysitting. I also love having phone interviews if you’d like to do that. Please contact me for a reference list and/or to set up an interview. My rates are listed but I am willing to work for rates outside of what is listed. Please contact me if you are interested even if my rate is higher than what you’re looking for. To add, I have my bachelor's of science in elementary education from Northern Illinois University. I was certified in CPR for infants and children on 9/13/2023. Because I have worked in day care facilities, I have my fingerprints on file for background checks in the state of Illinois. I also have a background check on file. If you would like to view it, please request it though the website. In my experience, I have worked in three day care facilities, mainly infant and toddler rooms, from 1998 until 2003 and again short term in 2017 and 2023. I also did some short-term nannying for three families during my college years. After college, I taught a 4-year-old preschool class at Kindercare Learning Center, from 2003 to 2005. When my son was born, in May of 2005, I started to nanny full time. Since then, I have worked as a nanny, as a home daycare provider and babysitting, for 21 different families to present day.

Always loved children since I was a child. Starting teaching preschool at my church at age 18. I have done so many types of volunteer work (with my children being involved as well), but the most rewarding has always been with helping children. They are our future and I believe parenting is not only the most important job we can have, but also the best and definitely the most rewarding. I studied Elementary Education in college years ago, but have always had the natural instinct to teach, especially while playing. I sure would love an opportunity to make a difference in other angel's lives.

My name is Nichole and I enjoy being around children. I'm CPR certified. Favorite activities would be playing different games, being outside and doing arts and crafts. I have a spunky 7 year old godson and his 4 year old brother I have taken care of when they were smaller and really miss those memories. They now sleep over some weekends. I take them out to the movies, get ice cream, and take them to the local pet stores because they enjoy animals. I also babysit for my aunts\uncles when they need a day off for themselves. I love animals.
