Khaliah C., Child Care in Whiting, IN 46394 with 13 years of paid experience

Hello Parents, how are you all? I hope all is well, as of now I'm only available on Saturdays and Sundays only ( open availability is up for discussion). I do not accept last minute bookings, and we must have a phone interview followed by a in-person interview before requesting care from me. I ask all parents to give me at least a 48-72 hour notice before booking service. I share 13 beautiful years caring for children from Newborn-School age and I love working alongside parents helping to enhance their children cognitive, social, and emotional development. Reaching milestones using hands-on recreational and educational activities and building strong relationships to ensure a safe, fun, and comfortable work environment. A typical day for me once you reach out we will have a phone or video interview discussing important information regarding your child. I will also share with you some amazing experiences I have caring for children. After our phone discussion, I will then send over at least 2-3 professional references. If you decide I'm a good fit or will like to do a work trial, we will then set up a time and place to meet. Rather its at your home, where you will be showing me around giving me details such as your childs daily routine, showing me where bathrooms are, what area the children plays in the home the most, diaper changing areas, what to do and not to do in your home, any restrictioned areas, ect. If you prefer to have a in-person interview over phone or local places such as a Starbucks or dunkin donuts we can do that as well and no worries coffee and donuts on me! This is to ensure both parents and I are on the same page and children are comfortable and familiar with me. Once everything is set and stone you will then let me know the times you will need care. I will then confirm your request and keep you updated on my arrival time. I always arrive at least 15-30 mins early for all bookings request. I will then engae with children throughout the day, keeping a daily activity log, and send cute pictures and videos throughout the day to show how much fun your child or children are having. Understand I take my job very seriously so your children are in the best hands when under my care, so if you interested please reach out to me at (872)-288-2261. Thank you! Looking forward to meeting you and your family!

Khaliah helped us last minute when we really needed it. She was extremely sweet with our little boy, and very thoughtful and considerate while in our home. While our kiddo is in daycare and we don’t need regular support, I’m excited for the opportunity to have Khaliah watch our kiddo again!!

Leti S., Child Care in Whiting, IN 46394 with 20 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Leti, I am 35yrs old, and have been providing childcare for the past 15+ years. I am a native Chicagoan currently seeking opportunities to babysit in my free time (evenings & weekends). I am well-versed in traveling around the city and exploring all that it has to offer! I come from a large family with two sets of multiples (I'm a triplet)! And I've always enjoyed spending time with children of all ages (from infant to elementary-aged). I've worked as a babysitter/nanny, helped with light housekeeping/cleaning, and as a tutor for K-2 graders. I also have experience caring for multiple children (up to 5). I highly value communication and enjoy building long-term relationships with the families I work with. I look forward to meeting you and your family soon!

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.

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!

Zahar C., Child Care in Whiting, IN 46394 with 10 years of paid experience

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’ve supported families in both full-time roles and occasional date night and weekend care, and I’m comfortable stepping in seamlessly so parents can head out feeling confident. 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.

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.

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.

Leslie is all around fantastic. She is so personable, genuine, responsive, punctual - all the things you'd want in a babysitter. The first time we ever left our daughter with someone other than family/day care was with Leslie, and we were comfortable the evening we went out. Worth noting: we don't have a wifi enabled monitor and still felt at ease. She also assists with bottle washing, which is a major bonus. We're lucky to have connected with her!

We have worked with Ms. Angelica for a few years now. She used to be our first daughter’s daycare teacher, and we would hire her to babysit on the side. She has a lot of experience with infants, and that gave us peace of mind when leaving our baby girl with her. We liked her so much we kept having her babysit even after we left the daycare and moved on to a new school.

Debbie was excellent with our newborn and our 10 yr old with special needs. She was communicative, reliable, super hands on and engaging. Both the kids enjoyed her. She has a natural affinity for caregiving and for child care and it shows. Her experience impressed us but her ability to jump in (our primary sitter fell through) and not miss a beat was truly a blessing. Would highly recommend her for your child care needs! She is a gem.

Maria R., Child Care in Whiting, IN 46394 with 2 years of paid experience

Hi my name is Maria I am a 25 year old female and I am looking to care for kids and provide them excellent care. I have experience with infants and toddlers, I used to work as a teachers assistant at a daycare in my area sadly I could not continue working in the daycare because I started school and they only had full time positions available. I also worked as a nanny for a 4 month old infant and a baby sitter for a 2 year toddler. I speak both Spanish and English. If Spanish is something you are interested for your kids to learn I can completely provide that. I am good at communicating with small children and helping them with their homework as well as meal prep, laundry for children and giving them emotional support when needed. I am a non smoker, I promise to take care of your kid as if he/she/they were my own. I have my own car so valid transportation you will receive. you will not regret it! Super reliable and punctual. I have a lot of active experience right now and have been working with families these past 3 months. I have had the opportunity to care for a 5 month old who is now 9 months, A toddler, pre school age child, and two girls who are now 6 years old and 12 years old. I have very active experience and I am looking forward to being able to help families and give them the extra support that they need! I am very punctual and will always let know ahead of time if there are any issues with scheduling but I am pretty reliable. I love working with baby’s and kids and see myself doing this long term. I do have an active background check, motor vehicle background check, cpr certifications and can provide great references to speak on my work. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, I hope to be able to connect!
