Rachel L., Child Care in Crete, IL 60417 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!

Lauryn S., Child Care in Crete, IL 60417 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m Lauryn—a warm, reliable caregiver with a true love for working with children. I have experience as a nanny, lead camp counselor, and assistant teacher at a Montessori school. I’m currently in college studying Child & Family Development, and caring for kids has always been a passion of mine. I genuinely love being a sitter because I enjoy building connections with children, watching them grow, and being someone they can feel safe and comfortable around. Every child is different, and I love adapting to their unique personalities and needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for kids of all ages in group settings and one-on-one, which has helped me develop patience, creativity, and strong communication skills. I’m also CPR-certified, very organized, and attentive to routines and safety. Whether it’s helping with homework, imaginative play, or bedtime, I’m here to support both the child and the family however I can. I’d love the opportunity to be part of your village and make a positive impact in your child’s day!

Lauryn was reliable, safe, and very sweet to our three year old for afternoon pickup from preschool. She did a great job driving him, making sure he had his snack, and keeping him entertained until we got home from work. We have another baby on the way and have changed our work schedule, but we would not hesitate to use Lauryn again.

Sherri H., Child Care in Crete, IL 60417 with 6 years of paid experience

I've been a nanny for 6 years now. It's the best job I have ever had! I love kids and always wanted to open up my own day care center. That never happened so I'm doing the next best thing! I love playing games, reading books, singing songs and nursery rhymes. I like to play outside at the park or just go on a walk and explore. I hope that you consider me for the most important position in your home. Finding that perfect nanny is a stressful decision for you. I hope to meet with you and your family to see if we are that perfect fit! If you decide to go in a different direction, I wish you the best on your search. Sherri
