Find experienced babysitters in Wilmette, IL

I have many years of experience with children in a wide range of settings, including many years of babysitting for families in their homes, working as a summer camp counselor, as an assistant teacher in a daycare, and volunteering in two elementary schools. I raised my own son and I occasionally watch my 4 and 6 year old grandsons. In the past year and a half I have watched a 2.5 year old boy, an infant girl from age 3 to 6 months, a baby boy from 7 to 10 months, and an 8 year old girl. I completed a pediatric first aid and CPR class in November 2023. When I am watching children I do not use my cell phone (other than in case of emergency or if I need to schedule an appointment) as I want to give the kids my undivided attention. I especially enjoy reading to children, doing art projects together, and taking nature walks. I am very energetic, and on days when I am not babysitting, I typically take 4 - 5 mile walks along the lake. I am very happy to provide professional and personal references. Among the parents from whom I can provide references are a neonatologist, a professor of psychology, a nurse, and an elementary schoolteacher. As a caregiver, I am highly reliable, kind, warm, and fun. I love both kids and dogs. My schedule is typically very flexible, and I can often make myself available for last-minute requests. Thank you. Rosanne

Hello dear parents, I am looking for an occasional, one time or weekend nights babysitting job. I have over 10 years of experience with children in ages ranging from newborn/infants to preteens.

Hi! My name is Miranda, and I’ve had several years of childcare experience in a variety of settings. During college, I worked as a nanny for an infant for about a year and a half, which gave me hands-on experience with feeding, changing, naptime routines, and developmental play. After graduation, I spent time in Paris working as an au pair, where I cared for two young children and helped with their daily routines, school pickups, meals, and language development. In addition to those roles, I’ve also worked as a summer camp counselor and a substitute teacher, giving me experience with children of all ages. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have completed a child safety course. My background in psychology and community work has helped me develop a calm, patient, and supportive approach to childcare. I love creating a fun, safe, and structured environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel cared for.

Hi! I am a Chicago Native from a large Irish/German family! I have devoted 10+ years working with children ( 5 families) ages 8 wks - 4 years, including multiples and premature births. My experience working with young children allows me to put to use my Early Childhood Development (ECD) background through all the milestones -- establishing routines, sleep training (for those who utilize), potty training, baby sign language, etc. My relationship with your child will reinforce and amplify the love and exceptional level of care received from the parents. Enriching unending activities (tummy time, reading, walks, classes, art projects.) will fill our days because I believe in the importance of education and socialization. My in-depth experiences enable me adapt to a variety of child rearing styles, which I implement based on your preference along with the best interest of the child. I'm adept at handling miscellaneous tasks ( dishes, laundry, preparing homemade baby food, etc.), and keeping a log of daily activities ( via live App). I am the ideal hands-on, energetic, and reliable nanny with excellent recommendation/references! I’m looking for occasional gigs and a part-time position with an infant!

Past experiences as a nanny/tutor/teacher have involved planning activities, maintaining schedules, cleaning and cooking, and I have over 10 years of experience in this field.

I love being a sitter because I like helping children and being a part of their development. I enjoy teaching them things in different areas like socially, emotionally, and academically if needed. I have beyond 20 years of experience with being a teacher and babysitter. I have 33 trainings from GateWay from CPR, food handler, First AID etc. As of right now I work at a daycare and I am looking for evenings from 4:15 PM during the week and a weekend job ( every time an available).

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! :)
