Isabella M., Babysitter in Sycamore, IL 60178 with 14 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Bella. I am an occupational therapist working in schools. I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old and have a 10 year old kiddo. I absolutely LOVE children and try my best to ensure they get to live their best lives full of happiness, love, and their needs met! I value routines, but also encourage flexibility. I am looking for a summer job May- August. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I was also a lifeguard for 3 years and taught swim lessons before going into OT, so I am very comfortable around water safety.

Kendall J., Babysitter in Sycamore, IL 60178 with 4 years of paid experience

I've been caring for children for over four years, and I find great joy in helping them grow and learn. My previous babysitting roles showed me that I have a knack for creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I'm patient, calm, and always ready to play! I'm comfortable taking care of children of all ages, and I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules. I believe in open communication with parents, and I'm happy to discuss any issues that arise throughout the day. I also follow the parents' preferred communication method, whether it's verbal communication at pickup or through text. I love playing games with children, especially outdoor sports and physical games, as well as board games and puzzles. I also enjoy arts and crafts, and I'm always looking for new and creative ways to engage children. I have some high school education, and I'm CPR and First Aio certified. I have a car, so I can easily transport children to and from activities.

Ashley B., Babysitter in Sycamore, IL 60178 with 3 years of paid experience

My long term goal is to be a preschool teacher, therefore in high school I had the opportunity to observe and participate in a preschool program at South East elementary school. In my experience I assisted the children with their daily routines and responsibilities. Helping foster their independence was one of the best parts of my job. I loved seeing them smile when they accomplished something. My interests include, animals, music, kids,singing dancing, and biking. I'm a very outgoing person, I'm a recent graduate of Sycamore High school and I hope to obtain an opportunity to further my career goals.

Mary G., Babysitter in Sycamore, IL 60178 with 9 years of paid experience

Hi! My names Mary, I am a 20 year old graduate who has been babysitting since I was 11. I am a very energetic, happy, and caring caregiver. I have experience with babysitting as well as being a nanny, I can do both. I have one niece and one nephew who I have watched throughout the years, as well as many younger cousins. I am going to community college so I will be available even after summer. I enjoy doing activities with the children as well as taking them places. I can watch the kids either at my house or yours, whichever works better for you. I also have a 3 1/2 nephew that loves to play with other kids if you’re comfortable with him coming with me occasionally or bringing the kids back to my house to play and hang out! I have a pretty flexible schedule, and am always up to help. I do have another nannying job that varies week to week but on days I don’t have them am very happy to help any way I can. I have always loved children and am told I have a special way with them.
