Find experienced child care providers in Leland, IL

Hello! My name is Jocelyn! I am a 26 year-old DCFS certified childcare teacher with 4 years childcare experience. I am CPR and first aid certified. This May I completed my ME in Elementary Education. I plan to teach in a school or start my own homeschool service when my children are older. I currently work at Prairie Pals Christian Preschool and Childcare full time. My first child is due this August and I would love to continue caring for children outside the daycare environment to allow for more one-on-one attention. I don’t plan on taking an extensive maternity leave- especially since my husband’s job has blessed us with a paternity leave! I am comfortable around all animals as long as they are relatively tame (had one bite experience) and would love to take care of them as well! I wouldn’t mind tasks like meal prepping, laundry, or general housekeeping.

I have always enjoyed working with children. I worked at a child care center for 4 years. I worked with children and adolescence in various inpatient and intensive outpatient mental health facilities. I also volunteered for 2 year in an intensive outpatient mother baby program where I assisted with carrying for infants. I also have two children of my own and an auntie to 4 nephews, a niece and soon another niece which Im hoping to watch as well starting in the Fall! I'm not currently first aid or CPR certified, but have been many times. I also have a B.S. in Psychology and working in various elder care positions and facilities. I would say I'm a very caring and compassionate person. I am currently employed as an account manager through a national crisis line, but looking for a change in my life. I'm hoping to nanny from my own home as I have my own children and two cats. I hope to find the right family to work in childcare again.

Hi my name is Bridget and I am 23 years old. Most of my experience comes from being an assistant teacher in a daycare. While working as a teacher I made lesson plans and taught the children different skills based off the age range I was working with. I am a loving and caring individual who will make sure your child is taken care of. I can also do house hold chores, take care of pets, and make meals. Please consider me to be your sitter/nanny. Thank you!

Hi there, my name is Crystal. I'm an energetic and creative 31 year old. I started out nannying at age 19 to gain experience in working with children. The bulk of my experience has been with caring for infants and toddlers, but I do have experience with nannying older kids as well.

Hi, my name is Abby and I’m a 22 year-old who just recently graduated from college with a degree in Biology. I currently work as a patient care technician full-time at Edward Hospital on a medical oncology floor. I have much experience with taking care of sick people and people who just need extra help keeping themselves clean and doing day-to-day activities. I’m looking for some extra work on the side as I’m currently applying to graduate school to hopefully become a physician assistant in the future I love being able to take care of people and just provide joy to other others and showing that you can spread happiness no matter what. I have two young nieces that I spent a lot of my time with playing games, reading books and attending to their needs. My experiences with my family and in healthcare have both provided me with insight to all ages of care and adjusting to different people’s needs.

I am an enthusiastic sitter looking to spend my summer (and potentially long term) caring for a loving family! I have worked as an assistant teacher in a local Montessori school for the past three years where my love of childcare has grown into a passion for creating and cultivating an environment of developmentally appropriate play and activities. It is my goal to lead and love well, and as a sitter I value both play and intentionality. Outside of my time in the classroom I have 4+ years of experience babysitting/nannying. A little about me :) I would consider myself a fun loving and creative person and enjoy spending most of my time outdoors. In my free time I am stoked about travel, music festivals, playing guitar and film photography. I have an old english sheepdog who is my best buddy. And I am very passionate about my faith. I would love to answer any questions and provide references if you think I may be a good fit for your family!! -mia

Hello, My name is Kelly and I’ve been baby sitting/caregiving for 13+ years. I have experience with children from newborn to 13 years old. What I love most about baby sitting is getting to know a new family and watching that child grow and become the best they can. I like to coach and teach children. Gentle parenting is my style of how I have raised my child. I can change diapers, make bottles (both formula and breast milk), I know how to avoid allergy foods if needed, I know how to adapt quickly to change, I know how to be kind and understanding, I know how to cook and prepare meals/lunches, I am able to drive to after school programs or sport practices. I am able to do household chores/run errands. I am flexible to fit your needs. I would like to babysit part time 25-30 hours a week. I am willing to watch up to 3 children in 1 house hold. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
