Hello.  I have been in the childcare field for over 28 years specializing in providing the best care for your child/children while parents are working and/or attending school.  I provide "hands-on" and nuture as I feel this is very important.  I have specialized training in the fields of asthma, special needs, child abuse, sexual abuse, cpr/first aid certification as well as Child Development.  I work with children who have speech impairments, learning disabilities as well as teaching pre-school for chidren getting ready for kindergarden. I provide transportation to schools - District 3 (Beach Park Schools) and District 6 (Zion Schools) if needed.  I provide back-up care, sick care as well as vacation/summer care.  Nothing is more rewarding then having one of your daycare children comeup to you at the end of the day and say "I love you Miss Jan - your the best" with a hug/kiss.  It makes my job so rewarding.  I have had children from newborn to middle school who often bring up things that had happened (potty training, that special birthday party, stickers for good deeds) which often makes me feel that all my work has made this child excel in life and its a wonderful feeling.

Hi, my name is Sydell and I am 26 years old. I have a 7 year old and 1 year old daughter. I also have my own vehicle with insurance as well. I’ve done babysitting for plenty of years.

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

I have a genuine passion for working with children, backed by both personal and professional experience. As a parent of five, I’m very familiar in the joys and challenges of raising kids, and this has given me a solid foundation in understanding their needs. Professionally, I’ve spent over two years babysitting, caring for a toddler and a baby, and I was also a nanny for two years before that. In addition to my childcare experience, I’m also fluent in Spanish which is my first language. My previous role, which I held for more than two years, allowed me to develop strong multitasking skills and a strong ability to stay attentive to each child’s needs. I’m excited about the opportunity to bring my experience, enthusiasm, and bilingual skills to a new family.
