Hi there, my name is Crystal. I'm an energetic and creative 31 year old. I started out nannying at age 19 to gain experience in working with children. The bulk of my experience has been with caring for infants and toddlers, but I do have experience with nannying older kids as well.

Jocelyn W., Child Care in Sheridan, IL 60551 with 4 years of paid experience

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.

Shannon J., Child Care in Sheridan, IL 60551 with 4 years of paid experience

I have always enjoyed working with children. I worked at a child care center for 4 years. I worked with children and adolescence in various inpatient and intensive outpatient mental health facilities. I also volunteered for 2 year in an intensive outpatient mother baby program where I assisted with carrying for infants. I also have two children of my own and an auntie to 4 nephews, a niece and soon another niece which Im hoping to watch as well starting in the Fall! I'm not currently first aid or CPR certified, but have been many times. I also have a B.S. in Psychology and working in various elder care positions and facilities. I would say I'm a very caring and compassionate person. I am currently employed as an account manager through a national crisis line, but looking for a change in my life. I'm hoping to nanny from my own home as I have my own children and two cats. I hope to find the right family to work in childcare again.

Abigail B., Child Care in Sheridan, IL 60551 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Abby and I’m a 22 year-old who just recently graduated from college with a degree in Biology. I currently work as a patient care technician full-time at Edward Hospital on a medical oncology floor. I have much experience with taking care of sick people and people who just need extra help keeping themselves clean and doing day-to-day activities. I’m looking for some extra work on the side as I’m currently applying to graduate school to hopefully become a physician assistant in the future I love being able to take care of people and just provide joy to other others and showing that you can spread happiness no matter what. I have two young nieces that I spent a lot of my time with playing games, reading books and attending to their needs. My experiences with my family and in healthcare have both provided me with insight to all ages of care and adjusting to different people’s needs.

Starrlee R., Child Care in Sheridan, IL 60551 with 10 years of paid experience

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.

Mia V., Child Care in Sheridan, IL 60551 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

Lizbeth L., Child Care in Sheridan, IL 60551 with 2 years of paid experience

As a doctoral student wanting to specialize in children and adolescent mental health, I’m especially passionate about supporting kids in a way that helps them feel safe, understood, and encouraged. I have experience caring for children through both paid and volunteer roles, where I’ve helped with supervising playtime, assisting with homework, preparing meals, and maintaining structured routines. I’m comfortable working with different age groups and adapting to each child’s individual needs. I bring strong communication, responsibility, and time-management skills, along with a calm and reliable presence. My clinical training has strengthened my ability to be attentive, patient, and responsive, allowing me to create a positive and supportive environment for every child I work with. *Willing to provide CV/Resume upon request for transparency.
