Find experienced child care providers in Alhambra, IL

Hi! My name is Paiton I am 20 years old and in the process of getting a degree in languages studies with five years of experience providing childcare for families. My passion for working with children stems from a desire to positively impact their lives and support families in need of reliable care. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I'm a creative and friendly person. My worldly knowledge and quick thinking allow me to adapt to various situations and engage children effectively. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates and following their preferred communication method. With my experience and skills, I'm comfortable caring for up to four children of all ages. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that promote learning. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a safe and structured environment.

I am a nanny with years of experience working with children from the ages of 1 month to 12 years. I enjoy caring for children and bring a considerable skill set to meet the needs of each child. I provide nurturing, compassion, creativity, and problem solving in my care of children. On a personal note, my two kids are grown and I have more time on my hands. With that time, I want to help young families thrive and earn money to surprise my Mom with a large gift.

Hi! My name is Maeve Heumann and I am 22 yr old recent college graduate living in Edwardsville, IL. I've always loved kids so much and been drawn to their energy and imaginative nature. For 10 years, I've been a regular Babysitter/Nanny for all the local families in my neighborhood, and gone on to be a regular Nanny for families with infant children and energetic toddlers. I have no problem with high energy or multiple children, and love interacting and playing with kids while forming friendships. I have experience as a YMCA Camp Attendant and a full-time Summer Camp Counselor at Camp Ondessonk, making me CPR certified. I've also spent some time as a Party Princess, so Disney and similar characters are part of my expertise! I'm an Animation major, so I love watching cartoons and drawing with kids! I have no problems with pets, and have a car of my own for driving kids wherever they need to go (seatbelts required :)) I'm an energetic and friendly person, and love the children that I spend time and bond with. I'm responsible and dedicated and will happily work to the special needs and schedule of my clients. My schedule is very flexible and looking for full-time work.

Hello! My name is Mackenzie and I am looking for families that are in need of an occasional sitter in the fall of 2022! I have a passion for working with children and am currently a graduate student studying to be a Child Life Specialist. I have many hours of experience in babysitting, being a camp counselor, an assistant preschool teacher, a nanny, and a hospital playroom volunteer. I love to go on walks and spend time outside, but also love to spend time doing arts and crafts, dancing, baking, and watching movies. Please reach out with any questions you may have for me!

I am a 7th year preschool teacher who values routine, structure, and fun :) I pride myself on building independence, responsibility, and a growth mindset in the children I care for. I graduated with my bachelor's in Early Childhood Education with an endorsement in Special Education from SIUe in 2019 and have training and experience with trauma informed practices and challenging behavior. I love what I do and the relationships I build along the way :)

I genuinely love being a sitter because caring for children brings me so much joy. I love helping them learn, laugh, and grow in safe and supportive environments. As a nursing student and oldest daughter of eight children, nurturing and being attentive comes naturally to me, and babysitting gives me the chance to pour that same care into families who trust me with their little ones. I find it rewarding to build bonds with kids and give parents peace of mind knowing their children are in good hands. I’ve been caring for children of all ages through volunteer work, family friends, and community programs for several years. I’ve worked with infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. From bottle-feeding and diaper changes to homework help and bedtime routines. Through my involvement with organizations like DREAAM, I’ve supported children from diverse backgrounds, helped with tutoring, and organized fun learning activities. As a nursing major at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, I’m trained in health and safety practices, including CPR and first aid principles. I’m attentive, organized, and great at communication, which are skills that help me connect with both kids and parents. My background in leadership roles on campus has strengthened my ability to manage routines, stay calm under pressure, and handle multiple responsibilities with care. I also love creative activities, helping with schoolwork, and keeping children engaged in positive ways.
