Hi! My name is Michelle. I come from a very large and involved family and have been caring for both children and seniors for most of my life. I enjoy caring for others and believe in a strong support system at home. I prefer to get out and allow kids to learn and experience life first hand through adventures and activities rather than through a screen all of the time. I am college educated, CPR /First Aid Certified and look forward to getting to know you, your family, and how I can make life simpler for you. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you for your time and have a great day!!

Michelle was a great help to our family! She was extremely kind and truly loved my kids. She was very good at sending updates during the day especially when she had to pick up/drop off the kids. I knew they were safe in her care :)

Venus T., Child Care in Manhattan, IL 60442 with 9 years of paid experience

I love kids, I think this is the best quality in a person that you should look for. Kids are a delight. I have 8 nieces and 3 nephews, this is where my desire to take care of kids came from. They grow up so fast that you can't get enough of their nature. Being here, I am hoping to embrace a family in need and to be able to help raise a child. I am a yogi therefore very calm & patient. I am reliable, organize, passionate, caring, trustworthy and have a lot of love to share. Safety is my priority. Thanks for the time, may this be the beginning of a lifetime friendship. Have a wonderful day.

Jill C., Child Care in Manhattan, IL 60442 with 35 years of paid experience

Hello Parents, I am currently seeking occasional date night opportunities. I have MANY years of experience working with children from birth to age 12. 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!

Jill nannied for us for a year. She was always on time. Our kids loved her. She played interesting games with them and even taught our 4 year-old daughter the basics of reading! (Now she's 5 and reads all the time.) Due to a scheduling conflict she can no longer watch our kids, but she is very trustworthy.

Grecia C., Child Care in Manhattan, IL 60442 with 3 years of paid experience

I enjoy babysitting because I love spending time with children and creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I have experience caring for children because I regularly take care of my niece and previously worked at a daycare. These experiences have helped me become patient, responsible, caring, and dependable. I enjoy playing with children, doing fun activities, helping with homework, and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust, and I would love the opportunity to provide your family with reliable and caring childcare!

We only had Grecia for two weeks due to a change in her schedule but the time we had her she was fantastic. She was very patient and kind with our one and three year olds. She was also very helpful with preparing lunch and snacks and kept our house very tidy. We were so sad to see her go.
