Hi, My name is Kelsey. I am a fun, easy going, reliable individual. My passion for working with children has extended throughout my life starting with babysitting for my family members. My experience began in high school where I taught 4yr old preschool children who attended our high school program. As a result of that, I began to Nanny for a family of one of my students. I have worked a before & after school program for a variety of grammar schools through the park district. I am currently working as a preschool teacher at a day care with children ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years old. I have been CPR certified.

I have been babysitting since the age of 13, worked in daycare throughout college years, taught in the public school system and am currently a full-time nanny. I love being a nanny because I enjoy the ability of having one on one time with children. I believe that loving attention is so very important in a child's life. I will treat your children as my own!

Hello, I am Katrina. I am a 22 year old woman from Illinois. I love to work alongside children. I have babysat, taught, and tutored children ranging from infant-7th grade. I enjoy helping families with behaviors and emotional regulation. I also enjoy watching kids learn and grow. Something that makes me stand apart from other candidates is that I am a previous Daycare teacher. With that being said I was expected to care for 26 little ones (4 years of age).

Hi! I’m Cassandra (Cassie), and I have an enormous love for children and a passion for making every moment fun, safe, and educational. Whether you're looking for a regular babysitter, Nanny, need a few hours to focus, or want to enjoy a night out, I’d love to help! Growing up in a big family with cousins ranging from babies to teens, I’ve always been surrounded by kids, which is where my passion for childcare began. With experience babysitting children of all ages—3 months to 13 years old—I’ve learned how to make kids feel comfortable, entertained, and engaged through creative play. I’m always looking for ways to tailor activities to each child’s unique interests, whether it’s arts and crafts, games, or even a little dance break to get the wiggles out! I also know how frustrating homework can be (especially math!), so I’m more than happy to lend a hand with schoolwork, ensuring the experience is as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. In addition to my practical experience, I completed a child development course in high school, and my background in music has allowed me to introduce children to the joy of singing, dancing, and playing “instruments” (pots & pans count). Music is a huge part of my life, and I’m excited to share that with kids, whether teaching them a new song, having a spontaneous dance party, or just using music to inspire creativity and expression. I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, so I can connect with a wide range of families and children. What I truly enjoy about babysitting is getting to know each child and helping them grow in their unique way. As a youth and kids ministry leader, my faith drives me to create environments where others feel safe, valued, and loved. I’m a joyful, energetic, patient, and compassionate person who believes in showing love, kindness, and respect to everyone, especially children, and I strive to reflect these values in all I do. If desired, I’m also open to sharing my faith and teaching children biblical principles about God's love in a fun, gentle, and welcoming way if that is something you’re also looking for in a sitter. I’m committed to making sure that every child I care for has a positive, enriching experience with me. Feel free to reach out if you’re looking for a reliable, fun-loving sitter who is always ready to make your child’s day a little brighter!

Hello, I am 20 years old and I'm in college part time at Moraine Valley and I'm studying Early Childhood Education and Social Work. I have had a lot of experience working with kids from babysitting my cousins and next door neighbors children for a good 5 years from when they were an infant till 7 years old. Also in high school I was in the preschool program and I took Early Child Development and parenting class, where I got to teach the class and help them learn how to do new things such as making crafts, writing their name, etc. I also got experience with taking parenting because you had to take home a fake baby for the weekend and care for it just like you would for a normal infant or toddler.. Also I am CPR certified. I have a big passion for working with kids, and I would love to be able to spend my days helping them learn new things and giving them entertainment.
