Find experienced babysitters in Poplar Grove, IL

Hello parents! My experience includes nannying for infants from the newborn stage through 1 year of age (including twins experience) and being a daycare assistant teacher for kiddos aged 2 to 3 years old. I am also experienced in school-age pickups/dropoffs, homework help, and after-school routine management. Most recently, I have been an after-school elementary youth instructor on-site with the Rockford and Harlem Public School District. My approach with your children is loving and caring as if they are my own while maintaining the rules you set as the parent. The basis of my personalized approach is to ensure your kids still meet their emotional, developmental, and psychological goals as if in the parent's care. My experience caring for children with special needs has also greatly benefited my comfort and confidence in childcare. I myself have a nonverbal younger sister with severe disabilities. My care for her has sharpened my attentiveness and understanding of the needs of infants and young children, as well as comfort in activities like bathing, dressing, feeding, or entertaining—and not being afraid of handling messy accidents. I am the oldest child of four, so naturally enjoy caring for others and will feel fulfilled being a helping hand to your family. No job is too big or small, and I often go above and beyond to assist in cooking, housekeeping, or pet care. Please reach out and feel free to ask questions or verbalize any concerns. I’m excited to speak with you! (I am CPR/AED/First Aid Certified and fully vaccinated against COVID-19, preferring an environment in which others are too, however, am comfortable masking at any point and for any period of time.)

Hi! My name is Makaya and I’m a caring, reliable babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with children. I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I worked as a teacher assistant at a Clc center and also baby my baby cousins frequently!

Hello! I've been taking care of children for about 7 years. I started out babysitting as a teen and have loved caring for kids ever since! I'm a bubbly, fun, and caring person looking for an opportunity to work with a great family.I am comfortable around any pets and am willing to help around the house as needed!

Hi! My name is Sharon and I am a nanny of 4 years who truly enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel supported. Families I’ve worked with describe me as patient, nurturing, and dependable. I take pride in creating a safe, engaging environment where kids can thrive, and parents feel confident that their children are well cared for. I pay close attention to each child’s personalities, and I try my best to find ways to make everyday activities fun and meaningful. Cleaning up might sound like a lot of work, but a game of Simon Says, or a toy scavenger hunt is always an easy way to make helping out fun! In addition to keeping your children safe and having fun, I know consistency is a valuable part of a healthy upbringing. Reliability is very important to me—I show up on time, stay organized, and communicate clearly so families know they can always count on me. My goal is to be not only a babysitter but a positive, trusted part of your family’s daily life.

Hi! My name is Shealyn and I'm a junior studying Education at the University of Illinois. Im looking to babysit part-time/full-time throughout the summer. I have lots of experience babysitting, leading camps, retreats, and teaching children. I am CPR certified as of May 2018, and also speak Spanish.

Currently a Nanny of a 14 year old boy with Down syndrome. I’ve been with him for the past 3 years. Prior to him I watched a girl when she was 4-6 years old. I’ve enjoyed making connections not only with children but also their families. I LOVE taking kids on outings and don’t mind helping with household tasks! Although, I am a current Nanny, I’m looking to work more hours to build up my savings to get a home. I’m an unmarried 27 years old. I went to City First Leadership College for 4 years for ministry training and so if you appreciate a faith based care taker or simply someone with high morals, I’m your gal!

I'm a mother of two little ones. I have baby sat in my younger years and have been a bus driver for 8 years in total. I love children and I love to see how thier little minds work. Iam a strong believer in providing a loving structured environment where children can express themselves and thrive. Safety is a priority to me. I want children to have fun and feel comfortable when they are in my care. Since I have two little ones of my own I would babysit at my own home, ( a home visit is available to reassure parents) If child pickup from school is needed I'm open to that depending on the distance. If you want a motherly environment for you child I would be a good choice for you.

Hi, I’m Marta! I have 6 years of childcare experience, including 2 years as a volunteer and 4 years working in a before-and-after-school program at a kindergarten. I’ve worked with children of various ages. I also have babysitting experience and love creating fun, educational activities to keep kids engaged. While I don’t have experience with infants, I am well-trained in basic childcare, and I’m patient and enthusiastic about helping kids learn and grow.

I grew up always wanting to be a teacher, as soon as I was able to get a job as a sitter I did, mainly watching my nephew from the time he was a newborn until I had to move(6 years). I’m currently a paraprofessional, for the past 4 years, I’ve worked mainly with 3rd-4th graders. With that being said I have quite the amount of energy, passion and patience for helping kids grow and learn more things! I try to be as interactive with the kids as possible whether with games, activities, crafts, etc. While I am working on getting re-certified, I have been CPR and First-aid certified in the past. I also have experience with changing diapers, working on potty training, staying on top of nap/sleep schedules, cooking meals and taking care of a variety of different pets. Also, I have reliable transportation and I am willing to pick up kids/take them places or run errands if we plan it in advance! Feel free to get in touch with me if you would like references, have any questions or to set up a call!
