Tenia S., Babysitter in Prospect Heights, IL 60070 with 7 years of paid experience

Ready to experience the best babysitter that your kids will be disappointed you came home? Hello, I am interested in becoming a babysitter for you! My name is Tenia. I have been working with children and adolescents my entire life, and have been working on Sittercity for a few years now, and have been working with the same families for 2-3 years as well. Working with children is my passion, whether it is therapeutic or fun! I don’t have any children of my own so looking over other families' children fills my baby/kid fever! I treat all children as if they were my own and I love watching them grow each day! You will not have to worry about leaving your children in my care! I strive to make sure both you as the parent and your children are comfortable so you can have peace while you are away from your kiddos! I am currently CPR-certified and will provide documentation if needed. I can drive children to activities, watch children at your home, watch children at my home, help with homework, prepare meals, and teach healthy skills. I have been babysitting for many years and these rates are based on my experience and quality of work! However, I am open to discussing prices! I am easygoing and welcome communication of any sorts! I believe all parents should be able to have access to babysitting care. I look forward to working with you and your kiddos! If you are happy with my services, please leave a review! :) If you are not happy, let’s talk! I am very open to feedback and criticism! I have a family that you can contact as a reference if needed! :)

We were looking for someone to pick up our little one from daycare and watch him until one of us got home a few times a month. Tenia was great! she was on time for every pick up, made sure he got home safe, made sure he was comfortable when he got home, and checked in with us at each step to ensure we were aware of where she was. Highly recommend and would be connecting with her again for future date nights/pickups as well!

Ruth was always punctual. She’s very patient and kind with my daughter. I feel comfortable relying on her, whether it was to take my child to extracurricular activities or finding things to keep her occupied. I would recommend her to other families.
