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 630-220-9115

Hi! I’m Cassandra (Cassie), and I have an enormous love for children and a passion for making every moment fun, safe, and educational. Whether you're looking for a regular babysitter, Nanny, need a few hours to focus, or want to enjoy a night out, I’d love to help! Growing up in a big family with cousins ranging from babies to teens, I’ve always been surrounded by kids, which is where my passion for childcare began. With experience babysitting children of all ages—3 months to 13 years old—I’ve learned how to make kids feel comfortable, entertained, and engaged through creative play. I’m always looking for ways to tailor activities to each child’s unique interests, whether it’s arts and crafts, games, or even a little dance break to get the wiggles out! I also know how frustrating homework can be (especially math!), so I’m more than happy to lend a hand with schoolwork, ensuring the experience is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. In addition to my practical experience, I completed a child development course in high school, and my background in music has allowed me to introduce children to the joy of singing, dancing, and playing “instruments” (pots & pans count). Music is a huge part of my life, and I’m excited to share that with kids, whether teaching them a new song, having a spontaneous dance party, or just using music to inspire creativity and expression. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, so I can connect with a wide range of families and children. What I truly enjoy about babysitting is getting to know each child and helping them grow in their unique way. As a youth and kids ministry leader, my faith drives me to create environments where others feel safe, valued, and loved. I’m a joyful, energetic, patient, and compassionate person who believes in showing love, kindness, and respect to everyone, especially children, and I strive to reflect these values in all I do. If desired, I’m also open to sharing my faith and teaching children biblical principles about God's love in a fun, gentle, and welcoming way if that is something you’re also looking for in a sitter. I’m committed to making sure that every child I care for has a positive, enriching experience with me. Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a reliable, fun-loving sitter who is always ready to make your child’s day a little brighter!
