Find experienced child care providers in Elk Grove Village, IL

Hello and thank you for taking the time to get to know me! My name is Zaina, and I’m an experienced, nurturing, and dedicated childcare provider with a true passion for supporting children’s growth and development. My journey in early childhood education began in high school, where I completed a certified Early Childhood Education program. This foundational experience sparked my love for working with children and led me to begin babysitting and nannying for families with children ranging from infants to 12 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked in a wide variety of childcare settings, including homes, preschools, and after-school programs. I spent three years as an educator and program manager at an elementary school, where I created and implemented engaging daily lesson plans and activities tailored to each child's needs. My approach blends structure with creativity to foster a safe, fun, and educational environment. I’m also experienced in household management and understand how to keep a home running smoothly while ensuring children are happy and well cared for. Currently, I’m pursuing a degree in nursing, which has further deepened my knowledge of child health and development. I’m certified in both infant and child CPR and BLS (Basic Life Support), and I bring a calm, attentive presence to every role I take on. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, staying active, and continuously learning new ways to better support the children in my care. I would love the opportunity to bring my experience, energy, and dedication to a family who values compassionate, reliable care.

Hi my name is Kimilee, I am 29 years old. I live in Des Plaines and have two kids of my own who are 12 and 3. I have been working in the healthcare field for over 10 years and have been a babysitter for 3 years. I am a certified nurse assistant and have also been certified in CPR.

I am a full-time nanny living in Chicago and I also provide babysitting services on occasion.  I have been helping with childcare for my family since I was 12 years old, as the eldest of five children, three of whom are active boys. I have always enjoyed watching over children and creating a fun, safe environment for my charges.  I have experience with infants, toddlers and preschool children, particularly preschool as I was an assistant Sunday school teacher for my church for six years.  I also did one summer as a camp counselor for a sleep-away camp, which put me in charge of 4-8 kids 22/7.  Some of my favorite activities are reading, drama and games. Generally I am a fun, easygoing sitter who enjoys playing games with the kids and making sure they have what they need.  I tend to be very calm and even tempered, which helps me keep up with high-energy kids.

With over nine years of hands-on experience caring for children from toddlerhood through grade school—including children with autism and diverse developmental needs—I bring a calm, nurturing, and structured approach to every family I support. I’ve worked with a wide range of families, from busy after-school schedules to full-time, live-in nanny roles.

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! :)

I love caring for children and helping them become kind, honest, and healthy individuals. I am CPR and First Aid Certified. I have worked with children with special needs such as autism, ADHD, wheelchair users, non-verbal communication, and bathroom assistance. I have extensive experience with trauma-informed care for children. During my work at domestic violence shelters, I helped them process their changes in environment and other major life adjustments. I will tidy up and perform some light housework. You will always come home to a calm, clean environment, so all you will need to do is relax.

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

To my potential family, I am so excited to meet you and hopefully develop a lifelong relationship! I am filled with SO much excitement and joy at the possibility that we might just be exactly what the other is looking for! As an individual, I am curious, intelligent, intuitive, and have a great sense of humor! I love to love life and do so with kindness, compassion, and curiosity. As a nanny, I am a nurturer, space holder, guide, buddy, role model, and safety patrol! I love to see children be exactly who they are while guiding them effortlessly through their growth - good times, and hard times, in a way that is correct for them. After 14 years of nannying for families short + long term, from newborn to 16+, with as many as 5 children at once, I have come to find there is definitely an 'art' to being a nanny that I am excited to continue to create with each new family. I am an active participant in children's lives, and provide an environment where we can play, explore, learn, and BE! Whether we are playing catch outside, out at a park or playground, exploring town, sitting down to create experiential play, learning new topics together, out about in nature, helping with homework, or settling down in a bedtime routine, I do so with curiosity in my mind, and love in my heart!! I am looking for a family who truly values the beauty of being alive and who also has warmth, kindness, intelligence, and really great energy! I would flourish in a relationship with parents who value personal growth and open communication, and who has a structured but go-with-flow attitude, as well as a deep respect for one another's time, energy, and efforts in making a healthy and happy environment for everyone involved! I would love to be a part of someone's home who appreciates me as an individual, but also recognizes all of the things I can bring to their family as their nanny! It would feel fulfilling to have a family acknowledge that my background comes with a variety of skills that are both logical such as forward-thinking, organization, and time management, as well as emotional skills such as open-heartedness, impeccable intuition & awareness of surroundings, and the ability to guide each child individually and uniquely to their personality! I hope to meet you soon!
