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 love doing my job, it means a lot to me because I find helping people rewarding. As a child,being a caregiver or helping others have always been something that I've always done.

I have 7 years of experience working as a full time nanny and many more years of being a babysitter. I can help with Light Housekeeping and Cooking/Meal Preparation. I am currently a full time caregiver for an incredible 4yr old girl with Cerebral Palsy and CVI. She is non verbal and not independently mobile. I pick her up from school and transport her home with her wheelchair and participate in her weekly in home therapies (PT 2x week, OT, ST). I also administer medication. Previously I was a full time nanny for an 19-month-old with HIE. When I started he had a nasal gastric feeding tube and I participated in his weekly in home PT, OT, ST, DT appointments. Working with children, especially those who are medically complex, is my purpose and passion in life. I also am currently babysitting for seven families in the area.

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! :)

Up to date on vaccines and CPR training. Willing to show proof. Available for daycare in my smoke-free, safety conscious home in Niles. I am available Monday through Friday 8a-12p, for weekly guaranteed hours or as needed basis. I choose to keep my daycare small for quality of care, cleanliness, and focused learning through play. At this time, I have a 1:2 adult to child ratio with one spot available. My home has every gate and I would love to give you a tour! I have owned and operated my home daycare in Niles since 2021. Worked as a Professional Nanny/Personal Assistant in the North Shore for the previous 10 years. Worked as a Professional Nanny for 10 years prior in Lincoln Park. Completed a Level 3 Credential in a Child Development program through the State in 2018. As a Daycare Provider I love to plan constructive activities, arts and crafts projects, backyard adventures- both fun and educational. Enjoy teaching a variety of subjects including reading, math, and milestone learning. Milestone learning programs are specifically customized and depend on the child’s age, personal growth, and development. My plethora of references can attest to the way children connect and feel comfortable with me. Please reach out for an application. I hope to hear from you!

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

I am bilingual (speaking fluent Spanish and English). I put children and parents first before everything! I love playing with little ones and I have over 8 years experience in taking care of and entertaining little ones! It would be my pleasure to take care of your family as it is my pleasure to serve others! I cook, clean, and have a blast taking care of children. I have experience with children from 3 months to 13 years. I am qualified and capable with all ages however I have most experience with infants and toddlers. I do everything with love and treat your family as if it were my own. Thank you!

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!
