Hi there , A little bit about myself is that I'm a fun-loving babysitter. My name is Kathia I’m a Dekalb High School graduate looking to further my education with working with children. In high school I participated in my schools childcare “Alphabitty Chidlcare Program” learned many things as well as got certified in many areas .I love interacting with kids and being funny and goofy meanwhile still have them listen and respect me. Coloring, dancing, reading, making crafts It's all very easy for me to connect with kids. Keeping the child's well-being  is something I take very seriously. I'm a healthy balance of an easy going/patient attitude, and assertive when needed. I understand the importance of my role, and I'm willing to take on that responsibility with your children,Thank you!

Leah W., Child Care in Shabbona, IL 60550 with 12 years of paid experience

I have been in childcare for many years and in many different settings, including daycares, private households as a full time nanny, and of course countless date-night/occasional families. I am CPR certified for infants and adults, and am currently in school for education. I love working with children because I enjoy watching their curious nature flourish and having my part in helping them learn and grow. I have experience with all ages, as well as experience with potty training, sleep training, etc. All of my different experience has helped me become the caregiver I am today, and I look forward to growing and learning even more.

Leah was great, my kids are iffy on babysitters to begin with and both absolutely loved her. She was in communication from the time of booking to the day of the appointment and was very easy to work with. We will definitely book Leah again!

Hi, I’m Shi! I’m 22 and I’ve been babysitting on and off since 15. Being responsible for my two younger sisters is how I realized I enjoyed working with children! I’m HUGE on creative outlets so I always like to bring that out when babysitting. I adore animals and have 2 cats! I love cooking and baking so meal prep is no problem at all. I also have open availability!

Shi is an exceptional sitter! She started working with my family last year and it was a great experience from the start. My daughter is thrilled when she knows Shi will be her sitter. Shi’s great at communication, attention to small details, and making sure that there is never a dull moment. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Tamya B., Child Care in Shabbona, IL 60550 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello, My name is Tamya, I am 21 and a senior at Northern Illinois University and I am currently majoring in political science and journalism. I have 5 years of paid child care experience. I have previously worked with a child summer camp/day care through Champaign Park District and Dekalb Park District. I have experience with very young toddlers to older children and teenagers with special needs. During my time as a summer youth program leader for the Champaign park district, our camp focused mainly on arts and cultures. Every week we would have the children try new experiences such as pottery lessons, dance lessons, art classes, and many arts and crafts projects. This camp focused mainly on immersing the children into the world of art outside of the usual arts and crafts camp. We also helped the kids experience outdoors activities such as soccer, fishing, ultimate frisbee, etc that helped them build team skills as well. During my time at the Dekalb park district we focused on getting the children more involved in online school. We would create games that were centered around what everyone was learning in school. As well as offer homework help and any tutoring that was needed. I am now the assistant director of the summer youth program for the Douglass community center. These programs will help me ensure your child will be learning and have a fun experience while in my care. I am also First Aid CPR & AED certified, a mandated reporter, as well as CDC concussion certified. I also have prior experience working with children with ADHD, Autism, and other physical disabilities and impairments. I am currently located over in DeKalb but am willing to travel. Currently I am available Monday - Wednesday and could arrange other dates in advance. I hope to meet you and your family very soon! Thank you, Tamya Burch.

Kelly F., Child Care in Shabbona, IL 60550 with 8 years of paid experience

Hello, My name is Kelly and I’ve been baby sitting/caregiving for 13+ years. I have experience with children from newborn to 13 years old. What I love most about baby sitting is getting to know a new family and watching that child grow and become the best they can. I like to coach and teach children. Gentle parenting is my style of how I have raised my child. I can change diapers, make bottles (both formula and breast milk), I know how to avoid allergy foods if needed, I know how to adapt quickly to change, I know how to be kind and understanding, I know how to cook and prepare meals/lunches, I am able to drive to after school programs or sport practices. I am able to do household chores/run errands. I am flexible to fit your needs. I would like to babysit part time 25-30 hours a week. I am willing to watch up to 3 children in 1 house hold. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Mia V., Child Care in Shabbona, IL 60550 with 7 years of paid experience

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
