Find experienced child care providers in Metropolis, IL

Hello, I like being a sitter because I know for working family’s it’s hard to juggle making money for bills and making sure your children’s needs are taken care of, I want to be able to help. I have a child of my own, She’s almost 1, I’d like to be able to bring her with me on my jobs. I’m a single parent so if possible I would love to bring her on the job with me. I love to cook, so I’ll make meals for them, if they’re bottle fed by powder or frozen milk, then I can feed them that way as well. I will always give it 100% for these kids, because they are someone’s whole world and they deserve respect. After all they’re new to this world and have big feelings they don’t fully understand yet. I know how to give medication, if their guardian has a specific way of doing things, I will follow their instructions. I always pick up the mess the kiddos have made from eating, playing, and from being taken care of while sick.

I worked for Corps of Engineers for 21 years. Due to stress and anxiety of the job, I had to quit for my health and well being. I have kept 2 little boys for the past 6 months and love them like my own, due to them getting in daycare, I will do longer have them. I go to their house and keep them which means we get to play with their toys and play outside. I fix breakfast and lunch for them and enjoy being with them so much. I hope to find another family that I can love on children and their well being is the most important thing!

I enjoy working with children, teaching them and interacting with them as they establish their personalities. I have years of experience and am CPR certified. I am patient, kind,nuturing, compassionate, committed, loving and lots of fun. I look forward to spending time with new families. P.S. During this critical Corona Virus time, I can help with tutoring, teaching dance, reading to or just giving the parents a break. Thank you.

I love children. I have a 13 year old son of my own. I have babysat off and on since I was 13. I have 6 nieces and nephews and always have extra kids at my house. I love the laughter of a full house.

My name is Emily Smith. I moved to Kentucky from Northern Illinois with my husband in 2020. I have 5 years of professional experience in childcare. I have worked as a private nanny, and in daycares. I’ve also taken care of children for family, and in a few other settings as well. The majority of my experience has been caring for infants and toddlers. Children are brand new little humans that are experiencing life for the first time. They are always learning. As a childcare provider I look for ways to incorporate age appropriate lessons. Sometimes it’s as simple as reading books and playing pretend. Other times it’s about how to handle big feelings, or learning how to be empathetic. Every child, and every family is unique. I strive to communicate with parents and provide the same level of care, and parenting style they find works best for their family. Family and children are so important. It’s my goal to be there to provide quality care that your family needs.

My name is Sydney! I am 19 years old and take online classes at WKCTC! I have a little over a year in experience with infants to school age, most of my experience is with toddlers! I know how to change diapers and feedings. I also have my own transportation. I love to help children grow and learn and I love to see them happy!

Hi! My name is Karlee, and I think I’d be a great fit. I’ve had experiences with kids most of my life; my family is very close, so I’ve seen all my cousins grow up. I wanna give a kid a safe environment where they feel comfortable, and of course, if you need me to run errands/carpool/ or do things around the house, I can do that too. My mom was a single parent so I know how hard it can be for a parent. Including non-single parents, I wanna help as much as I can :) I'm 22 years old, and I'm a college student. I'm comfortable around animals if you have any, and I have no problem helping out with them! Along with meal prep or house work!
