Leslie M., Child Care in Whiting, IN 46394 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! I live in Chicago and have a full-time job during the week as a Delivery Consultant for a software company. I don't have any children of my own, but love being around children of all ages watching them react to new things and explore the world. I consider myself to be optimistic, friendly, energetic, creative, and firm when necessary. Outside of my full time job, I avoid screen time as much as possible. I much prefer to be out doing new things - love the arts, baking/cooking, and being active. I babysat regularly in high school and college - ages from infant to elementary. While in high school I volunteered at a local fitness center in the day care center, caring for children as their parents used the gym. I participated in Big Brothers/Big Sisters in college and enjoyed mentoring children in underserved communities. I have three young nieces and a nephew that live out of state. I don't get to see them as often as I would like, so I cherish my time with them and enjoy spoiling them as much as I can! I am generally available after 5pm on weekday evenings and anytime on weekends. I have a car and live in the South Loop neighborhood.

I have never hired a babysitter for my 4 year old before and I was so terrified for so many reasons. Gia instantly made me feel comfortable with her sweet and caring demeanor. She’s very professional, creative, and has been such an amazing help for us. I have never seen my son gravitate to someone so easily and I am so happy to have her :)

Ryan V., Child Care in Whiting, IN 46394 with 10 years of paid experience

Hi I'm Ryan, I've worked in daycare centers and summer camps. I graduated from South Suburban College. I've been in child care for about 12 years now, I've had 2 nanny jobs and several babysitter jobs. I started babysitting a lot at 20 because I got step family that gave me 8 little siblings and I had to babysit some of their friends mostly during the summers. I like to be very active with the kids with play time or taking them to play at the park, Coloring books or reading books with them. Always down to watch a movie or play games on the tablets with them if allowed. I also love going places if needed. A little about me, Play basketball at the parks, Volunteer at animal shelters when possible, Definitely like my video games. I would say I'm very punctual, Very patient and kids love me.

Eric R., Child Care in Whiting, IN 46394 with 1 year of paid experience

Hi! I’m Eric — a medical student with years of hands-on childcare experience in both family and hospital settings. I’ve cared for kids of all ages, from newborns to teens, and have been an uncle since 14. I spent five years at the University of Chicago Medical Center cuddling and comforting babies in the NICU and engaging children in the playroom, then volunteered at Lurie Children’s Hospital supporting pediatric cardiac patients. Now, I help coordinate Rush University’s Buddies & Cuddlers program, training and scheduling volunteers who comfort infants and children. I also mentor high school students through my nonprofit, Sneakers to Scrubs, helping them explore medical careers. I love helping kids feel safe, calm, and happy — whether feeding an infant, reading stories, or organizing activities. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, fully vaccinated, and bring a dependable, caring presence to every family I work with.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Eric! Our kids adore him. He is incredibly calm, patient, and kind, and has such a natural way of connecting with kids. He is genuinely engaging and present with them… not just supervising, but playing, talking, and really getting to know them. He has a steady, easygoing presence that makes kids feel comfortable and makes me feel completely at ease leaving them in his care. He is thoughtful, dependable, and handles everything with so much patience. I would absolutely recommend him to any family looking for a caring, trustworthy, and truly wonderful sitter!

Rachel L., Child Care in Whiting, IN 46394 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Rachel, and it would be an honor to babysit your children. With my 6 years of experience in a paid childcare setting and an additional 3 years unpaid babysitting for friends and family, I ensure your children will be in great hands. I also have a child of my own who is now nine years old, which gives me some parenting experience. I have plenty of involvement with assisting children to meet the appropriate developmental stages for their age. I have multiple outlets for learning activities including fine motor and large motor skills. When babysitting, I will sometimes bring a bag filled with some materials to help assist with games and crafts (with permission). Kids usually love my big imagination, that I love to sing, my sensory crafts, and my outdoor skills/activities. Some extra duties I am willing to help out with would include light household cleaning if time, parents, and children allow it, potty training, grocery pick-up, and meal prep. I currently nanny for a family in Frankfort but my last day working for them will be June 26. I’m currently looking for a part-time position, but I’m also interested in full-time for the right family!

Leti has been babysitting our son since he was a year old, and he adores her. She is highly responsible, a clear communicator, magically gets him to bed without fuss, and gets him to eat his dinner! We are so grateful to have her.

Angel  M., Child Care in Whiting, IN 46394 with 12 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Angel, and I absolutely adore spending time with children. They are bursting with incredible energy and an infectious joy that fills my heart. I am passionate about working with children because they have a remarkable ability to teach us valuable lessons, such as appreciating the simple pleasures in life. Over the past 13 years, I have had the privilege of working with children in various capacities, including babysitting, nannying, camp counseling, daycare assistance, teaching assistant, kindergarten and preschool teacher, and even as an education administrator. I have had the pleasure of working with children ranging from newborns to 16 years old, and I have grown to love getting to know their unique personalities and individual needs. Watching children grow and learn is an absolute delight for me. I am thrilled to be a part of their journey, helping them navigate the challenges of school and life in general. I have had the opportunity to work with children in different areas and schools through relief work, and I have developed a deep passion for childcare that I can’t ignore. Currently, I am pursuing my education by going back to study Early Childhood Education and Business. I am eagerly looking forward to completing my schooling and becoming a principal. Kids are simply my favorite to be around; they never fail to bring a sense of excitement and wonder into my life. Angel Murph

I’m an experienced babysitter and nanny with over 10 years of hands on childcare experience, caring for children from infants through school age.

I’m calm, reliable, and attentive, with a strong focus on safety, routines, and keeping children happily engaged through age appropriate play, reading, and creative activities. I’m especially comfortable with bedtime routines, multiple children, and maintaining a smooth, peaceful evening. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, with training in child development and early childhood education principles. I value clear communication, respect family preferences, and aim to provide thoughtful, dependable care that feels easy and reassuring for both children and parents. Families often describe me as trustworthy, punctual, and easy to work with, and I take pride in creating a warm, safe environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel at ease.
