Leslie M., Babysitter in Whiting, IN 46394 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! I live in Chicago and have a full-time job during the week as a Delivery Consultant for a software company. I don't have any children of my own, but love being around children of all ages watching them react to new things and explore the world. I consider myself to be optimistic, friendly, energetic, creative, and firm when necessary. Outside of my full time job, I avoid screen time as much as possible. I much prefer to be out doing new things - love the arts, baking/cooking, and being active. I babysat regularly in high school and college - ages from infant to elementary. While in high school I volunteered at a local fitness center in the day care center, caring for children as their parents used the gym. I participated in Big Brothers/Big Sisters in college and enjoyed mentoring children in underserved communities. I have three young nieces and a nephew that live out of state. I don't get to see them as often as I would like, so I cherish my time with them and enjoy spoiling them as much as I can! I am generally available after 5pm on weekday evenings and anytime on weekends. I have a car and live in the South Loop neighborhood.

Leslie is all around fantastic. She is so personable, genuine, responsive, punctual - all the things you'd want in a babysitter. The first time we ever left our daughter with someone other than family/day care was with Leslie, and we were comfortable the evening we went out. Worth noting: we don't have a wifi enabled monitor and still felt at ease. She also assists with bottle washing, which is a major bonus. We're lucky to have connected with her!

My wife and I are thankful to have Maribel as our sitter. She has taken care of our 2 girls multiple times. She has always been punctual, reliable, and so engaging with our girls. She plays board games with them, spends time outside with them and they’ve even had an impromptu dance party. One of my girls has special needs so she’s always making sure my little one has taken her medicine, plus knowing that Maribel is CPR certified gives me added peace of mind. If you need a sitter who will take care of your kids with care and patience Maribel is definitely the person to call. She is a teacher who has unparalleled understanding of working with children. I know my family and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.

Khaliah helped us last minute when we really needed it. She was extremely sweet with our little boy, and very thoughtful and considerate while in our home. While our kiddo is in daycare and we don’t need regular support, I’m excited for the opportunity to have Khaliah watch our kiddo again!!

Vianca M., Babysitter in Whiting, IN 46394 with 16 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Vianca, and I am a dedicated and experienced nanny with over 8 years of paid professional childcare experience. Caring for children has always been more than a job to me—it’s a role that I genuinely cherish and take great pride in. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with children of various ages and developmental stages, helping to create safe, nurturing, and enriching environments where they can flourish. I believe every child deserves to feel supported, encouraged, and celebrated for who they are. I love creating engaging days filled with learning, creativity, and adventure. Whether we’re exploring local parks, museums, libraries, cultural events, neighborhood activities, or simply enjoying imaginative play at home, I strive to foster curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. I value experiences that help children develop confidence, independence, empathy, and an appreciation for the diverse world around them. Families often describe me as dependable, patient, proactive, and deeply invested in the well-being of their children. I understand the importance of open communication, consistency, and partnership with parents, and I work hard to ensure families feel supported and at ease. My goal is always to provide loving care while creating meaningful connections and memorable experiences that positively impact a child’s growth and development. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of children’s lives during such important years and look forward to helping them learn, explore, and thrive.

Ryan V., Babysitter in Whiting, IN 46394 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi I'm Ryan, I've worked in daycare centers and summer camps. I graduated from South Suburban College. I've been in child care for about 12 years now, I've had 2 nanny jobs and several babysitter jobs. I started babysitting a lot at 20 because I got step family that gave me 8 little siblings and I had to babysit some of their friends mostly during the summers. I like to be very active with the kids with play time or taking them to play at the park, Coloring books or reading books with them. Always down to watch a movie or play games on the tablets with them if allowed. I also love going places if needed. A little about me, Play basketball at the parks, Volunteer at animal shelters when possible, Definitely like my video games. I would say I'm very punctual, Very patient and kids love me.

Alma D., Babysitter in Whiting, IN 46394 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Alma I have 10+ year in child care. Safty is my # 1 priority my 2nd is keep the child engaged in daily activities like playtime and introduce artists and crafts and also help them with homework or reading books. Outdoor activities are good only if the weather is not too hot or cold outside and 30 minutes a day. I understand how important this decision is as parent. When i look for child care I would like the pice of mind knowing my child is good hands. To be the best babysitter for your child needs I would need to know there daily routines and diet. For example bedtimes, entertainment, snacks and meals and toleting. To provide your family with safe and fun environment. I could also help with a couple of chores around the house.

Alma did a deep clean of my home and did an amazing job. I am close to a wooded area and have 3 dogs, and all the dust, and pet hair was gone. Bathrooms were sparkling, and my baseboards never looked better. Very happy with the all the little details she tackled for me. Highly recommend!

Rachel L., Babysitter in Whiting, IN 46394 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Rachel, and it would be an honor to babysit your children. With my 6 years of experience in a paid childcare setting and an additional 3 years unpaid babysitting for friends and family, I ensure your children will be in great hands. I also have a child of my own who is now nine years old, which gives me some parenting experience. I have plenty of involvement with assisting children to meet the appropriate developmental stages for their age. I have multiple outlets for learning activities including fine motor and large motor skills. When babysitting, I will sometimes bring a bag filled with some materials to help assist with games and crafts (with permission). Kids usually love my big imagination, that I love to sing, my sensory crafts, and my outdoor skills/activities. Some extra duties I am willing to help out with would include light household cleaning if time, parents, and children allow it, potty training, grocery pick-up, and meal prep. I currently nanny for a family in Frankfort but my last day working for them will be June 26. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, but I’m also interested in full-time for the right family!

Debbie was excellent with our newborn and our 10 yr old with special needs. She was communicative, reliable, super hands on and engaging. Both the kids enjoyed her. She has a natural affinity for caregiving and for child care and it shows. Her experience impressed us but her ability to jump in (our primary sitter fell through) and not miss a beat was truly a blessing. Would highly recommend her for your child care needs! She is a gem.

Maria R., Babysitter in Whiting, IN 46394 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi my name is Maria I am a 25 year old female and I am looking to care for kids and provide them excellent care. I have experience with infants and toddlers, I used to work as a teachers assistant at a daycare in my area sadly I could not continue working in the daycare because I started school and they only had full time positions available. I also worked as a nanny for a 4 month old infant and a baby sitter for a 2 year toddler. I speak both Spanish and English. If Spanish is something you are interested for your kids to learn I can completely provide that. I am good at communicating with small children and helping them with their homework as well as meal prep, laundry for children and giving them emotional support when needed. I am a non smoker, I promise to take care of your kid as if he/she/they were my own. I have my own car so valid transportation you will receive. you will not regret it! Super reliable and punctual. I have a lot of active experience right now and have been working with families these past 3 months. I have had the opportunity to care for a 5 month old who is now 9 months, A toddler, pre school age child, and two girls who are now 6 years old and 12 years old. I have very active experience and I am looking forward to being able to help families and give them the extra support that they need! I am very punctual and will always let know ahead of time if there are any issues with scheduling but I am pretty reliable. I love working with baby’s and kids and see myself doing this long term. I do have an active background check, motor vehicle background check, cpr certifications and can provide great references to speak on my work. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, I hope to be able to connect!
