Hi, my name is Beth! I started nannying part time for a family in Plainfield for four years. After that experience, I took on a full time position taking care of infant twin boys for two years.

Hi there , A little bit about myself is that I'm a fun-loving babysitter. My name is Kathia I’m a Dekalb High School graduate looking to further my education with working with children. In high school I participated in my schools childcare “Alphabitty Chidlcare Program” learned many things as well as got certified in many areas .I love interacting with kids and being funny and goofy meanwhile still have them listen and respect me. Coloring, dancing, reading, making crafts It's all very easy for me to connect with kids. Keeping the child's well-being is something I take very seriously. I'm a healthy balance of an easy going/patient attitude, and assertive when needed. I understand the importance of my role, and I'm willing to take on that responsibility with your children,Thank you!

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.

Hi families! My name is Anadelis & I’m 32 years old. I live in Hampshire, IL. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology & I’m passionate about supporting children’s emotional, behavioral, & developmental growth. I bring hands-on experience working with infants through young adults, including children with special needs, where I provided 1:1 support, implemented behavior plans, & helped create safe, structured, and nurturing environments. I would describe myself as warm, patient, dependable, and very nurturing. I grew up in a close-knit family and helped care for my younger siblings, which naturally shaped my love for caregiving. In my free time, I love cooking, spending time outdoors, and being with my partner, family, and our two cats. I’m also bilingual (English/Spanish), which I’m happy to incorporate into childcare if desired. I would love the opportunity to support your family & provide a safe, engaging, & loving environment for your children. I look forward to connecting with you!

I am a mom of three and have a child with special needs. I understand the importance of safe reliable care, and a caregiver you can fully trust. I provided child care for various families for 7 years. I was also a Certified Nursing Assistant for 7 years, I hold an active Illinois Paraprofessional Educator license, and I am a certified professional organizer. I homeschooled my own kids Preschool to 5th grade, so I love building learning into everyday moments, especially early reading and hands-on creativity. Expect lots of arts and crafts, imaginative play, and activities that keep kids engaged and having fun while also building skills. I would love to connect if you are seeking care and are interested in my services!

Hi there, I'm Cameron (or Cami—easier for kids to pronounce). A bit about me: -38-years-old, B.S. in psychology from DePaul University (soooo excited to be inching closer to 40) -20+ years experience in childcare (from newborn to late teens) -Nannied part time for the same family for 9+ years (started when oldest was 6 weeks, she’s now 9yo and her brother is 5yo, and insane) -Detailed résumé, complete with job and character references -Very healthy and active (my knees are yet to make noise when I bend them, which is pretty great) -Very family-oriented, prompt, dependable, responsible, respectful, honest, organized, outspoken, creative, patient, and affectionate -Can handle cooking and meal prep (for family as well as child) -Can assist with homework (tutor experience) and light household chores (I will always leave your house as clean as you left it if not cleaner) -Dependable and safe SUV (Subaru Forester), and a clean driving record -Experience with autism, ADD/ADHD, dyslexia I'm known for being flexible and being able to stay longer or come earlier with short notice. When with the child(ren), the most important thing is that not only the parents feel secure with my watching their child(ren), but that the child(ren) feel safe, comfortable, and loved, as well. As long as everyone is happy and I have an honest and open relationship with the family I am working for, I'm content.

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.

It’s a job where you can be creative, active, and make a meaningful impact on young lives. Growing up as the oldest coming from a big family you take on a lot of responsibilities and skills like communication, patience, understanding of child development stances, adaptability, problem solving, safety awareness, the availability to stay calm under pressure, and being able to foster a child’s social, emotional, and intellectual growth through engaging activities.
