Experienced and Compassionate Caregiver With 23 years of hands-on childcare experience, I have cared for children of all ages, ensuring their safety, development, and well-being. My experience comes from helping my older sister with her children, babysitting my younger sister, and assisting family, friends, and their referrals with childcare needs. As a mother of two—including a child with medical and emotional needs—I have firsthand experience providing specialized care. I also worked for 2.5 years at my children's elementary school, caring for kids aged 3 to 13 from diverse backgrounds and with various needs. My passion for childcare was sparked by a difficult experience I had when my oldest child was a toddler. I trusted a caregiver, only for my child to be mistreated. That experience strengthened my commitment to providing children with the care, respect, and protection they deserve. Whether caring for a child, grandparent, or pet, I treat them as I would my own loved ones—with compassion, patience, and dedication to their well-being. I am pursuing certification in early childhood development to expand my knowledge and skills further. Additionally, I am CPR-certified and will be renewing my certification along with obtaining first aid certification in the coming weeks. I also own a LifeVac Kit for emergency preparedness. I have psoriatic arthritis, which limits my ability to be physically active with the children in my care. However, I make up for this by engaging them in creative arts and crafts projects, taking them to the library, and supervising them diligently at the park. Beyond childcare, I have experience working with the geriatric community. I have worked in various roles at skilled nursing facilities, always focusing on engaging with residents—whether through activities, small favors, or simply being there to listen. Additionally, I have experience in dog care, ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. My goal is to provide a nurturing, safe, and engaging environment where those in my care feel supported, valued, and protected.

Hello! My name is Alexzandrea, and I’m excited to offer my babysitting services to families in need. With 9 years of experience in the education field and 7 years of babysitting on and off, I bring a well-rounded background of skills to ensure your child is cared for and engaged in a safe, nurturing environment. I’m a proud breast cancer survivor, and this journey has made me even more passionate about life and making meaningful connections. Recently, I was laid off from my position at Chicago Public Schools, and I’m looking to dedicate my time to helping children in new ways. As a parent of a child with ADHD, I have a deep understanding of how to manage different behavioral needs and create personalized strategies for each child to thrive. I believe in fostering a positive, supportive, and fun environment, where kids feel heard and loved. I also have my own reliable car, so transportation is never an issue if you need me to pick up or drop off your child. I truly love working with kids of all ages, and my goal is always to make each child feel safe, respected, and excited to spend time with me. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

My name is Crystal, I am the product of a single mother so I understand how important child care can be to a parent. From watching my younger brother while my mother went to work, to co-running a day camp where I was in charge of taking care of a group of children from the ages of 4-8, then eventually being a care provider in a nursery, and a nanny to two little girls from the ages of 9-months to two years old I have always been passionate about providing exemplary child care. I love to read to/or with kids, play silly games and engage their interests because it brings them joy and that's the foundation of good child care. I am cautious of health concerns such as allergies and incredibly skilled with a first aid kit. I understand that a clean home is a happy home and I'll work to help you keep your space happy. I'm very good with pets of all kinds and do my best work under stress. Honesty is incredibly important to me especially where children are involved and it is something that you can expect from me at all times as well as responsibility and reliability.
