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! :)

I've been a nanny/babysitter since I was 18. I'm now 35 years old and I have a 6 (almost 7) year old son. I've always enjoyed interacting with kids and caring for them. I know how hard it is to leave your children with a stranger so I always to make everyone feel comfortable and be that extra hand they count on. I was in the army reserves for a few years and have also worked in a pediatric dental office as an assistant and receptionist. My now ex husband joined the army and so we had to move around a bit and we just moved back to the Mundelein area. My mom was also a nanny and so I grew up going to work with her and found my own passion for helping families and followed in her footsteps. All the families we have worked for have become like family and most we still keep in touch after the kids have grown up. My son has been going to work with me since he was 1.5 years old and he loves it. It's like a playdate for him and the other children. He's very social and well mannered. My most recent work was for a family in Lincolshire who had 2 little girls ages 2.5 and 5 when I started. I was with the from Jan 2023-Aug 2024. Prior to them I was with a family in Texas who have 2 little girls. They were ages 2.5 years old and 5 months old when I started. I worked for a year with them. I have other references from Illinois as well. My son used to go to work with me and I was lucky to find families who were kind enough to allow that. Now he is in school all day so its not longer a neccesity but I still would like to find families who wouldnt mind if i needed to for all the random days off of school, however I know it's not for everyone so I would understand and have care for him. I've cared for all ages from 6 weeks old to 14 years. I've also worked in a daycare in the infant room and toddler room. Helping to care for 12-20 kids at once. I enjoy doing crafts with the kids and going outside. I have my own reliable car and am non smoking. I also enjoy taking care of pets so if you have any that's not a problem. I've dogsat for families as well. I've taken care of up to 4 kids at once alone. I also organize so if you need help with that I would love to. Updated availability!! Currently available Monday through Friday 830 am-530pm Thank you for reading. Hope to hear from you soon 🙂
