I have been babysitting for over 20 years and have watched children ages 3 weeks to 12 years old. I have worked in three different day cares, all in the infant room. I have also babysat for over 250 families. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, renewed February 2022. I have used this on one occasion to save a life. I have been vaccinated for covid in March and April 2021, and received a covid booster in November 2021. Please rest assured I will get a second covid booster as soon as available! I have also had a flu shot in September 2021, and a tdap in February 2022. I have come to believe that the core of child care is truly loving kids and helping them become the best versions of themselves. I learn something new from each child I have the privilege of babysitting, and most of all, I love getting the opportunity to nurture kids when they are young! I'm also actively involved in the Second City Acting program. I absolutely love engaging children in creative role-play! Finally, I also teach in the Northwestern Program for Gifted Students. I love making learning fun, and it is my dream to open an empowerment institute for kids one day. Please note I do not have after school availability at this time.

We were in town from Houston and lucky enough to find Aruna through sittercity. Our 9 year old daughter absolutely LOVED her. She is amazing. Instantly connected not only with our daughter, but we felt safe with her as well and were not even concerned. Aruna is a gem! If you are lucky enough to have Aruna with your child or children, you are the lucky one!

Gina is a great sitter who really engages with the kids. She likes to play games and involve the kids in things instead of just watching tv or playing video games. We have been very happy with Gina watching our boys and certainly plan to continue using her.

I have extensive experience as a caregiver for children, animals, and the elderly. In my current role as a paraprofessional, I specialize in working with children with disabilities, specifically those with Autism and ADHD. I am First Aid/CPR certified and maintain all relevant ADA/ AEA certifications. A background check was recently completed, and while I passed, I believe the current badge misrepresents my report. I am concerned that motor vehicle violations from 2021 are negatively impacting the badge status, despite not reflecting my professional caregiving capabilities. I am happy to share my full report for further clarification.

Isabelle went above and beyond for us! Our son is autistic so we have never had a babysitter before and Isabelle was so great with him and our other children. She even put away the toys and did some cleaning after putting the kids to sleep.

I am looking for a nanny or babysitting position that is either full time, part time or one time because I genuinely enjoy working with children and helping families. I am dependable, patient, kind, hardworking and willing to assist with housekeeping, daily tasks, and creating a supportive environment for both children and parents. I have a reliable transportation and several years of babysitting experience caring for my nieces, nephew, and neighbor's children, as well as being a nanny last summer for my nieces and nephew. I enjoy building positive relationships with kids while making sure they feel safe, cared for, and entertained. what I love most about being a sitter is getting to know the children as well as creating a fun and comforting environment for them. Some more of my strengths include caring for babies and young children, bottle feeding, diaper changing, being a positive role model, bedtime, naps, and routine assistance, homework help, strong communication skills, spending time outdoors with them like going on walks, going to the park, playing games, and creating engaging activities that keep children active, happy and safe.

Hello! I am a patient and positive sitter with a love for children! I have 1-2 years of paid babysitting experience but I also was raised with 9 younger siblings, so I have lots of experience with kids of all ages, especially toddlers and infants. I have a car, can do errands, housekeeping, meal prep, and homework help. I'm CPR/first aid certified, and I currently work in an urgent care. I can work full time and on call if needed. Looking forward to working with you! :)

I've had experience with children of all ages i have also taught and prepared children ages 2 to 5 for preschool and kindergarten. i enjoy giving young children a boost in their education i have lots of unique yet effective methods. I am fairly patient with children and lean towards a comfortable understanding of how a family would like their child to be cared for. if possible i enjoy crafts, and regular activities with the children I care for; for such things to work I would require knowledge on things we can do as I do not like going out of bounds. I am CPR, first Aid, and mandatory reporter certified and have recently had a one-year experience with the creative curriculum of teachings strategies with an infant to toddler class. My work with kids has been my career for nine years and I have enjoyed it enough to begin early childhood education degree online. it is not in my interest to drive children around places my services will be provided only in the home and it is not in my interest to handle a child with out-of-control behaviors such as hitting, kicking, throwing things, running away, or biting. if your child is prone to these behaviors I do not qualify as I feel children with these behaviors need their parents more. please feel free to contact me if you are interested in the care I provide.

Hi! I'm passionate about working with children and love helping kids grow, learn, and thrive in a safe, supportive environment. I enjoy creating positive experiences that are both fun and enriching while giving parents peace of mind that their children are well cared for. I have extensive childcare experience through babysitting for neighbors and family members, working in before- and after-school programs and summer camps, spending a summer as a nanny, and working with youth in a detention center setting. These experiences have helped me develop patience, adaptability, and strong communication skills with children of different ages and backgrounds. My skills include planning age-appropriate activities, preparing meals, light housekeeping, and maintaining daily routines to help children feel comfortable and secure. I am also CPR and First Aid certified, allowing me to respond confidently in emergency situations. I strive to provide dependable, attentive care while creating a positive and engaging environment for every child I work with. Feel free to ask for a reference!

I love working with children and being part of their growth and development. It is incredibly rewarding to support parents in caring for their bundles of joy while they are at work. I have extensive hands-on experience, having babysat for many families in my community during high school, helped raise my 10 nieces and nephews, and cared for my own son. Additionally, I worked in a before and after school program, where I cared for school-age children. I hold a CPR certification and am trained in first aid. During high school, I completed two different programs to earn my CNA certification, which included training as a first responder. These experiences have equipped me with valuable skills to ensure children's safety and well-being.
