Tenia S., Child Care in Medinah, IL 60157 with 7 years of paid experience

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! :)

Zaina H., Child Care in Medinah, IL 60157 with 7 years of paid experience

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.

Amanda T., Child Care in Medinah, IL 60157 with 15 years of paid experience

Hello! I am a 29-year-old educator with over 15 years of experience in childcare. I am returning to the U.S. after spending time traveling the world and working as an English teacher abroad. I currently work as an online English teacher, but primarily late in the evenings and on a flexible schedule. I have a Master's degree in Linguistics from Northeastern Illinois University and a Bachelor's degree in French Teacher Education from Illinois State University. I have experience as a full-time nanny for several children at a time, a middle school teacher, preschool teacher, Sunday school teacher, academic tutor, camp counselor for children with cerebral palsy, and one-on-one caretaker for children with Downs syndrome. I have experience with newborns/infants, including multiples. I have been very active in the lives of my four young nieces. I love coming up with fun games, crafts, and educational activities for them to do -- or for any kids to do! I'm pretty skilled at turning egg cartons and pipe cleaners into phonics or science lessons! I am first aid/CPR certified and have completed several academic courses related to child growth and development, child psychology, and Linguistics courses related to first language acquisition in young children. I have my own reliable transportation and I am a non-smoker. I am comfortable working with any pets. I am willing to do housework, run errands, and transport children to and from activities. I can provide several strong references upon request. Please feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions or if you'd prefer to speak over the phone. Thanks! Amanda

Sheila W., Child Care in Medinah, IL 60157 with 10 years of paid experience

I have well over 25 years of professional Nanny/House Managing/Personal Assistant experience. I’ve taught Pre-School and Pre-School swimming. I have In-Home Day Care experience at my Westchester residence. I have a Child Development/Psychology background. I have an extensive medical background, CPR trained and can handle children with special needs. Kids respond to me because I am patient, outgoing, fun-loving and try to relate to them at their level. I also try to make every day a fun learning experience. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty. In the summer you can find me on the ground catching insects, teaching the children how to fish, or catching bullfrogs/ turtles to study (catch and release). I am a big nature-lover. I am an avid fisher-woman, excellent swimmer and horseback-rider. My hobby is training/entering my German Shepherd Dogs in Obedience/Conformation Competition). My previous 14 year old female Lexxi, was a champion, holding 5 titles and 44 awards. She also did therapy work. Although I am no "spring chicken" so to speak, don’t let my age deter you. I am high energy and fit, working 50-60 hours a week caring for children. On the weekends, when I’m not working, you’ll find me running around the dog show ring. My previous 14 year old champion Lexxi, held 5 titles with 44 ribbons. My new 11 month old Kayla has some big paws to fill! I have a Law Enforcement and Medical background and have also worked in the Corporate world. All of those jobs I really enjoyed. But I am completely happy and comfortable in a private/domestic setting taking care of children and managing a household. I excel at ensuring that the household is running smoothly, and I like putting my excellent organizational skills to work. It is a very gratifying experience for me. To be successful, there needs to be teamwork and open communication. I possess excellent organization skills and believe in consistency and structure...  I’m professional, comical, considerate of others, a bit of a neat freak and a little bit of a workaholic. I am 100% dependable! I am also a parent, although my daughter is much, much older. My profile is active, but has not been updated. My current Nanny position of 8 years is ending August 21st., 2024. Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing from you!
