Sittercity helps Plainfield families find the best child care providers

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.

I have been babysitting for 20+ years along with nannying jobs throughout that time. I have always enjoyed playing with and caring for children. I am a mother to my almost 3 year old son, who loves playing with other kids while also having a good understanding of taking turns and using gentle play. I've been a cheerleading and dance coach as well as tumbling instructor for 15 years. I have a Bachelor's degree in dance, and I earned my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with children and adolescents. I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Illinois for 5 years in practice. I work part time as a telehealth therapist in the evenings and on Thursdays and Fridays. I have Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays reserved for at-home one on one time with my son, but we are looking for more kids and laughter to fill our home on those days. I like to keep the little ones in my care active and engaged while at the same time respectfully reinforcing guidelines and specific instructions that are set by each family. Some additional information on how I care for babies, toddlers, and children: I am great with finding creative activities to do indoors on rainy days but LOVE outdoor activities for when it is nice outside! We live walking distance from a park and have a secure wagon with seatbelts. I am truly fascinated in the development of children both cognitively and emotionally. I enjoy interacting with them as they learn and experience new things! I can also prepare nutritious meals and snacks in our smoke-free, pet-free home.

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.

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.

Hello Everyone! My name is Courtney and I Nanny / Babysit on occasion. I enjoy doing date nights and overnight because I feel it’s important for parents to have a night off and a break from the kids once in a while. I have have the most experience caring for toddlers and school age children, however I have cared for all age of children. I have my own transportation as well so distance is no issue.

I became a Nanny because I absolutely love children of all ages! I come from a family of 9 children, and at the age of 5, I became an Aunt. Ever since then, I was raised babysitting all my nieces and nephews, which there were a lot of! I eventually had 3 children of my own, and between between all 3 of them, they have blessed me with 6 grandchildren ranging in ages from 6 months to 12 years old. I am very reliable, honest, loyal, trust worthy and I will care for any children as if they were my own. I love being able to teach children, regardless of what it is. I am a very creative person and I enjoy doing many things with children. If you’re interested about learning more about me, please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you

Hi! My name is Chelsey, and I’m a nurturing, creative, and experienced childcare provider with a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and over five years of experience working with young children in classrooms, daycare centers, and as a nanny. I’m deeply passionate about supporting children’s growth through play, curiosity, and connection—and I take pride in creating a safe, joyful environment where little ones can thrive. I bring a calm yet enthusiastic energy to my work, always guided by compassion, consistency, and an understanding of early childhood development. Whether we’re diving into arts and crafts, exploring nature on a walk, reading stories together, or cooking up something fun in the kitchen, I aim to keep children engaged, supported, and learning at their own pace. I’m also a huge animal lover (especially dogs!) and believe in the value of helping children build empathy through caring for the world around them. Working closely with families is something I value deeply. I strive to become a trusted extension of your home—honoring your family's traditions, values, parenting styles, and routines with cultural sensitivity and open communication. I believe in maintaining healthy, positive boundaries while building meaningful relationships with both children and parents. My goal is always to provide not just dependable care, but genuine partnership. I’d be honored to support your family and help your little ones grow with confidence, creativity, and love!
