Sittercity helps Roscoe families find the best child care providers

Hello, My name is Amber! I'm a Traveling Respiratory Therapist. I live in the northern Illinois area. I take the summers off to be with my son. I have found babysitting to be a great addition to still make an income. I would be great to fill in if your normal sitter is not available, your daycare has their paid week off, you just need someone for now till you find someone long term, etc. I would love to spend time with your kiddos while you enjoy a night out, during the day while you work or just need a mommy's helper. I love to cook and don't mind helping around the house. I am a non smoker, CPR certified and have many years of experience with all ages of children. I have an 8 year old son myself. I am looking for opportunities where I can bring him along with me. I would love to set up a video chat or phone call so you can get to know me a little better. I look forward to meeting your family!

Hello! My name is Linda, a 22 year old recent college graduate. I graduated from Elmhurst University with my Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a minor in Psych. Back in Elmhurst I also worked at an immediate care, meaning I am BLS certified. I used to nanny and babysit for many families back on campus, but am back in Rockford. I love kids and can provide many references. I am great with engaging kids and keeping them active with minimum screen time, as requested by parents. I met so many families back in Elmhurst, many of which I still keep in contact with. Looking to meet a family I can grow with :)

Hello! I've been taking care of children for about 7 years. I started out babysitting as a teen and have loved caring for kids ever since! I'm a bubbly, fun, and caring person looking for an opportunity to work with a great family.I am comfortable around any pets and am willing to help around the house as needed!

I have been providing childcare for over 20 years. I have three children of my own ages 19,13, & 10. I also have 3 nieces & 3 nephews whom I have taken care of many times and we are always together.  They love their "T T Kesh". My home has always been full of children.  I have taken several childcare courses and participated in a number of childcare seminars. I am CPR & 1st Aid certified. I hold a certificate in Special Care Training. In 2000, I became a license exempt childcare provider in my home because I wanted to be home with my children. I've cared for 6 children at one time. Currently, I work as an Early Childhood Teacher Paraprofessional at Fairview Early Childhood Center. Along with my lead teacher, I am responsible for 20 students per am, pm, and afternoon bussing schedule.

Hi! I have been a babysitter during my school years for about the past 9 years. I love working with kids and being able to watch them grow into the little person they’re going to be. I look forward to working with you and your family in the future!

Hello- my name is LaShonta. I love being a baby sitter because I enjoy working with children. I taught preschool for 3 years and worked at a children’s museum for a total of 5 years My educational background is in early childhood Education

I grew up always wanting to be a teacher, as soon as I was able to get a job as a sitter I did, mainly watching my nephew from the time he was a newborn until I had to move(6 years). I’m currently a paraprofessional, for the past 4 years, I’ve worked mainly with 3rd-4th graders. With that being said I have quite the amount of energy, passion and patience for helping kids grow and learn more things! I try to be as interactive with the kids as possible whether with games, activities, crafts, etc. While I am working on getting re-certified, I have been CPR and First-aid certified in the past. I also have experience with changing diapers, working on potty training, staying on top of nap/sleep schedules, cooking meals and taking care of a variety of different pets. Also, I have reliable transportation and I am willing to pick up kids/take them places or run errands if we plan it in advance! Feel free to get in touch with me if you would like references, have any questions or to set up a call!

Hi, I am a 21 year old female who needs a little extra money. I graduated in 2022 and I passed all my Childhood Education classes. I also did a preschool/early childhood class.

Now I am working at a School as a GPA (Someone who watches the kids at lunch and recess).I have babysat for many occasions for friends and family.I am CPR Certified and able to handle emergency situations. I am responsible. I have a clean criminal background. I am usually a very positive person, always laughing and smiling. I am patient and I am able to accommodate for different children in figuring out what they need/want and figuring out what works best for them. I can engage in any activity that the child enjoys for example board/video games, art projects, freeze dance, kicking a soccer ball around, etc. I am a great listener and empathetic. I am experienced with babies and able to learning what needs to be done. I am good at communicating with parents about what is going on and updates, especially if there is an emergency situation. I can be a little quiet and shy at first but once I feel comfortable I am able to express my concerns/ questions/ thoughts. I have a drivers license and a car. I am able to work with the parents and whatever they need me to do what that is how they feel they need to discipline or want me to clean the house, etc. I’m all about making both the parents and children in my care feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am willing to negotiate how much you can pay me an hour, but would prefer $20 or more.
