Susanna P., Babysitter in Prospect Heights, IL 60070 with 20 years of paid experience

Up to date on vaccines and CPR training. Willing to show proof. Available for daycare in my smoke-free, safety conscious home in Niles. I am available Monday through Friday 8a-4p. I choose to keep my daycare small for quality of care, cleanliness, and focused learning through play. At this time, I have a 1:2 adult to child ratio with one spot available. My home has every gate and I would love to give you a tour! I have owned and operated my home daycare in Niles since 2021. Worked as a Professional Nanny/Personal Assistant in the North Shore for the previous 10 years. Worked as a Professional Nanny for 10 years prior in Lincoln Park. Completed a Level 3 Credential in a Child Development program through the State in 2018. As a Daycare Provider I love to plan constructive activities, arts and crafts projects, backyard adventures- both fun and educational. Enjoy teaching a variety of subjects including reading, math, and milestone learning. Milestone learning programs are specifically customized and depend on the child’s age, personal growth, and development. My plethora of references can attest to the way children connect and feel comfortable with me. I hope to hear from you!

Susanna has been a wonderful caregiver for our son, providing a nurturing and safe environment at her home day care. We worked with Susanna from Sept 2022 to Dec 2023, from the time our son was 3 months until 15 months. Susanna has shown genuine care and attention to our little one. Her commitment to creating a stimulating and loving atmosphere has played a significant role in our son's early development. We appreciate her patience, communication, and the personal touch she adds to her care. We are grateful for Susanna's positive impact on our child's early years.

I am an experienced, non-smoking sitter. Vaccines up to date, including COVID (plus current booster), annual flu shot and whooping cough. A life-long Chicago and Chicago-area resident, I have been a paid sitter since I was a teen, have three children of my own, am the eldest of six siblings and was a Girl Scout leader in Rogers Park/Skokie for 10 years (was CPR/first aid certified annually during this time). In my capacity as a GS Leader, I was trusted the care of numerous children on a bi-weekly basis, overnight camping weekends and international travel.

I am an active person, having participated in a Ragnar 200+ mile relay race, and continue to run 10k and half marathon events regularly. I am completely comfortable with infants, toddlers and school age children, as well as multiple siblings. For several years, I was registered/certified with the state to be a respite caregiver for children on the autism spectrum. I have a commitment with another family on Sunday mornings, but am otherwise available weeknights and weekends day/evening/night. I am art-enthusiast, knitter, runner and solver of problems; happy to give you access to my social media so you can get to know me better in advance. I take caring for your child/children seriously, and also that of our working relationship! Bookings agree to these terms: Mon-Thurs minimum hours paid is 2.5 hrs.

I would recommend Felice for any household care needs. We have a special, unique household, and Felice came in and did not miss a beat. Felice’s calm yet engaging personality was a perfect fit for our family. She is responsible, understanding and has a great attitude as a caregiver. I highly recommend her!

Sarah C., Babysitter in Prospect Heights, IL 60070 with 12 years of paid experience

I am a full-time nanny living in Chicago and I also provide babysitting services on occasion.  I have been helping with childcare for my family since I was 12 years old, as the eldest of five children, three of whom are active boys. I have always enjoyed watching over children and creating a fun, safe environment for my charges.  I have experience with infants, toddlers and preschool children, particularly preschool as I was an assistant Sunday school teacher for my church for six years.  I also did one summer as a camp counselor for a sleep-away camp, which put me in charge of 4-8 kids 22/7.  Some of my favorite activities are reading, drama and games. Generally I am a fun, easygoing sitter who enjoys playing games with the kids and making sure they have what they need.  I tend to be very calm and even tempered, which helps me keep up with high-energy kids.

I only recently met Sarah at an interview to be our nanny, but I was blown away immediately by how well she interacted with our toddler and infant girls. It didnt't work out for us, because of the commute, but she was up front immediately about her concern, and was so professional. She is so kind that she even offered to help us network. Thank you, Sarah, for your kindness, honesty, and extraordinary willingness to help our family! -Kate and Dan

Our 5 year old took immediately to Isabella and had a great day with her! She was on time, responsible with all that we asked of her and is very quick to respond. Though we'd love to keep her available for our needs(!), I must still must highly recommend her for other families in need. ??

As a single mother, I’ve had such a wonderful experience with Ruth. She strikes the perfect balance of being warm and caring while still maintaining gentle structure and boundaries—something that’s so important with toddlers. My little one absolutely adores her. She’s consistently on time, incredibly reliable, and always proactive when it comes to scheduling, which makes everything so much easier for me. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and I feel completely at ease knowing my child is in her hands. I highly recommend Ruth to any family looking for a trustworthy, nurturing babysitter.

Archana S. provided excellent care for our children. We have a 2 year old and a nearly 4 year old, and Archana has given care for both at once, and one-on-one. She is thorough, dependable, thoughtful and - above all - fun! The kids really enjoyed having her as a caregiver. I will hire her again, and recommend her to you and your children without reservation!
