Sittercity helps Wadsworth families find the best child care providers

Hello my name is Samantha, I usually go by Sam.  I live in Beach Park,IL, I have lived here for about 5 years. Currently I am a student in college pursuing a nursing degree.  I also work at a before and afterschool daycare with children ranging from kindergarten to fourth grade as a teachers assistant.  I am looking for a full time job to replace the company I work for now.  Although I have worked with kids of all ages, I am most comfortable with toddlers and up.  I love to work with children, playing games, sports, doing homework, playing outside,  arts and crafts and  I am very active!  I also spent last summer teaching swim lessons for toddlers.  Ive worked with children for about 7 years now and its something I have always enjoyed.

Hello my name is Stephanie, I have my Degree in Early Childhood education. I work for Early Head Start, but will like to have extra cash to pay my bills and save for the future. I enjoyed playing with children, I have experienced working with children and know lots of activities to play and do with them.

I have a degree in Elementary Education. I have been a teacher of first graders, four year old children and worked part-time in the infant room of a daycare. I recently tutored children in elementary school and enjoyed that immensely, but unfortunately the program stopped. I enjoyed teaching but I had to leave teaching full-time. I have had CPR training for children and babies and adults. I have had many babysitting jobs, especially in high school and college. I was a nanny for two children in Chicago for two summers while I attended college. I have had a great deal experience with the children of all ages. I grew up in a family of ten children and was responsible for the children, babies and for the household chores as well. I have no children of my own but I feel I have had many experiences with children it feels like I have had children. I know how important in development a child needs to interact with other people to learn basic skills. Small motor skills are extremely important for babies and children, such as playing, reading, role playing is vital for growth in development. Being loving, showing affection is necessary for the child's self esteem. I especially want to find a babysitting job with babies or small children,I loved that the most and miss it

Hi! My name is Danni Alvarez, I am 29 years old and I have been worked with children for the last 10 years. With over ten years of experience nurturing, guiding, and educating children—as a nanny, day camp counselor, and most recently a lead teacher at Champions—I’ve developed a deep passion for creating warm, engaging, and supportive environments where children thrive. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with kids of various ages and backgrounds. Whether leading a classroom, planning enriching activities, or supporting a child one-on-one, I strive to foster curiosity, confidence, and kindness. I also speak Spanish fluently and have had experience teaching that to babies and toddlers! My time at Champions especially strengthened my skills in classroom management, curriculum planning, and collaborative teamwork with fellow educators and families. What I love most about working with children is seeing the world through their eyes—the joy in small discoveries, the power of encouragement, and the importance of consistency and care. I bring patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm to every role, and I’m excited about the possibility of contributing to your family! Thank you for considering my application.
