Find experienced child care providers in Serena, IL

Hi! I'm Stephanie, a reliable and caring babysitter with 4+ years of experience working with children of all ages. I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment through activities like games, crafts, and helping with daily routines. I'm patient, dependable, and always prioritize safety while making sure kids feel comfortable and supported. I also value clear communication so you can feel confident while you're away.

I’m the oldest of 3 siblings and love to watch kids. I have experience being a paraprofessional in a preschool classroom. I am currently enrolled in my second semester at IVCC working towards a degree in psychology. I have planned my classes with possibly working before and after school hours in mind. I have a reliable vehicle that I can use to take kids to and from if need be. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a time to meet!

Hello! My name is Jocelyn! I am a 26 year-old DCFS certified childcare teacher with 4 years childcare experience. I am CPR and first aid certified. This May I completed my ME in Elementary Education. I plan to teach in a school or start my own homeschool service when my children are older. I currently work at Prairie Pals Christian Preschool and Childcare full time. My first child is due this August and I would love to continue caring for children outside the daycare environment to allow for more one-on-one attention. I don’t plan on taking an extensive maternity leave- especially since my husband’s job has blessed us with a paternity leave! I am comfortable around all animals as long as they are relatively tame (had one bite experience) and would love to take care of them as well! I wouldn’t mind tasks like meal prepping, laundry, or general housekeeping.

Hi, my name is Sierra, I’m 23 and I am hoping to find a fun, loving family to babysit for. I worked at Altitude Trampoline Park and played with and made sure kids were safe. I also work at a dance studio with kids from 2-15 years old.

I am an enthusiastic sitter looking to spend my summer (and potentially long term) caring for a loving family! I have worked as an assistant teacher in a local Montessori school for the past three years where my love of childcare has grown into a passion for creating and cultivating an environment of developmentally appropriate play and activities. It is my goal to lead and love well, and as a sitter I value both play and intentionality. Outside of my time in the classroom I have 4+ years of experience babysitting/nannying. A little about me :) I would consider myself a fun loving and creative person and enjoy spending most of my time outdoors. In my free time I am stoked about travel, music festivals, playing guitar and film photography. I have an old english sheepdog who is my best buddy. And I am very passionate about my faith. I would love to answer any questions and provide references if you think I may be a good fit for your family!! -mia

I have a large family and have been watching children since I was old enough to. My main experience has been a babysitting job that turned into a full time nanny job for 3 years. I also have experience as a housekeeper and restaurant manager (meaning I'm very good with cooking, cleaning, and have emaculate organizational skills!). I took two years of early childhood development classes. I am a mandated reporter. I spent a year in art school and love making crafts and being creative with everything. I have a very positive attitude and genuinely care for others. I am passionate and self motivated. I will happily send my resume.

I’m 24 and have been babysitting for families since I was 16! I have healthcare experience as a former CNA as well as Early childhood education classes. I love all animals and don’t mind cleaning or cooking.

​Hi! My name is Lucia, and childcare is more than just a job to me—it’s my calling. I have 14 years of professional experience in the field and currently serve as the Director of a childcare center (daycare) in Mexico. This role has given me invaluable expertise in leadership, safety, and early childhood development. ​I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Puericulture, a specialized field focused on the comprehensive care and development of children from birth to age 6. This allows me to offer families more than just supervision; I provide real educational support, fostering growth through play and structured learning. ​What I bring to your family: ​Professional & Educational Background: I deeply understand developmental stages and children’s emotional needs. ​Patience & Values: I am a very loving, patient, and kind person. I truly enjoy teaching and being a positive role model. ​Language & Learning: I am currently studying English to perfect my skills. I can communicate and understand the basics well, and I am a very fast learner! I would also love to share my native Spanish with your children if you'd like. ​Pet Lover (Pet Friendly): I adore animals! I have three cats of my own and consider myself a strong advocate for animal welfare. If your family has pets, I’d be happy to care for them too. ​Household Skills: I love to cook! I am experienced in preparing healthy, delicious meals and am very proactive with light housekeeping. ​Reliability: I have my legal residency documents for the US, a valid driver’s license, and my own vehicle for any errands or emergencies. ​I am flexible with my schedule and fully committed to safety. Since I don't have children of my own, my energy and focus are 100% on the well-being and happiness of the children in my care. I look forward to meeting your family!
