Find experienced nannies in Blue Island, IL

I am currently a grad student for my Master's in Finance and starting a Doctoral program soon. I have very good time management skills. I enjoy spending time with kids whether it’s entertainment or learning. I believe the impact you have on a child’s life lasts forever. I played college basketball at Triton as well as experienced in other sports (volleyball, softball). I have experience with children of all ages from newborn to teens. I have worked at the Park District of LaGrange as well as the Brookfield Summer camps. I am also CPR/First aid certified.

Hello families! My name is Amber (31 yo), and I have around 10 years of childcare experience behind me. I work full time as a graphic designer, but still like to pick up babysitting gigs to make extra cash and still be able to enjoy working with kids! The majority of the 10 years in childcare was nannying. I spent usually 1 to 2 years with different families with kids ages ranging from 3 months old to 12 years old. I mostly was with kids between the ages of 6 months and 5 years old though. I additionally worked one year as a teaching artist assistant for 4th graders and spent two years in Paris as an au pair for two children ages 3 and 5 when I started. Personality wise, I am pretty high energy, I am an artist and always love to implement art into childcare, and I see nannying/babysitting as a team sport. I am here to help you as parents and ready to implement your parenting style and happy to bring my own experience to help as well! I am very communicative and try to stay off my phone while with kids. I don't like when my friends ignore me on their phones while we hang out, so I am sure kids don't like that either. Overall, I am comfortable with light cleaning. If there is a nap, I can run a dishwasher or throw a load of laundry in, but I don't prefer to be a cleaning person on top of a nanny. I will always clean up whatever mess is made that day, but I like to be sure to mention my boundaries! (More of an issue with nannying/au pairing!) I hope I can help out and meet some great families and kids to grow a relationship with and look forward to hearing from you!

Hi, I’m Faith. You can call me Alex. I’m currently a student at Columbia College Chicago and I am majoring in American Sign Language. I am a very active person, I love going to the gym and lifting weights- so I can keep up with a big group of active kids. I’ve watched kids for a lot of my life because my mom has a home daycare and am great with them. I have been doing it for myself since I was 17, I am 21 now. I use a lot of imagination in play, and I also use my love for art when the kids want to do art as well.

Thank you for viewing my profile.. I am Lindsay, a college graduate, divorced, mother of four. Caring for children has always come natural to me. Innate love, compassion and patience in caregiving has taught me to teach & guide children in a gentle way. I was an attachment parent (baby wearing, bonded, close contact) with all four of my own children. I allow the child take the lead for creativity and exploration of their environment, with appropriate boundaries for safety and rules of the home. Respect, communication and understanding are very important to me in caregiver- parent dynamic, as well as with the children. I am available Monday, Friday and weekends, hours as needed. I want your children to be as comfortable as possible with me while you are gone. I prefer to meet in person once before beginning babysitting. I also love having phone interviews if you’d like to do that. Please contact me for a reference list and/or to set up an interview. My rates are listed but I am willing to work for rates outside of what is listed. Please contact me if you are interested even if my rate is higher than what you’re looking for. To add, I have my bachelor's of science in elementary education from Northern Illinois University. I was certified in CPR for infants and children on 9/13/2023. Because I have worked in day care facilities, I have my fingerprints on file for background checks in the state of Illinois. I also have a background check on file. If you would like to view it, please request it though the website. In my experience, I have worked in three day care facilities, mainly infant and toddler rooms, from 1998 until 2003 and again short term in 2017 and 2023. I also did some short-term nannying for three families during my college years. After college, I taught a 4-year-old preschool class at Kindercare Learning Center, from 2003 to 2005. When my son was born, in May of 2005, I started to nanny full time. Since then, I have worked as a nanny, as a home daycare provider and babysitting, for 21 different families to present day.

Hello! My name is Alexzandrea, and I’m excited to offer my babysitting services to families in need. With 9 years of experience in the education field and 7 years of babysitting on and off, I bring a well-rounded background of skills to ensure your child is cared for and engaged in a safe, nurturing environment. I’m a proud breast cancer survivor, and this journey has made me even more passionate about life and making meaningful connections. Recently, I was laid off from my position at Chicago Public Schools, and I’m looking to dedicate my time to helping children in new ways. As a parent of a child with ADHD, I have a deep understanding of how to manage different behavioral needs and create personalized strategies for each child to thrive. I believe in fostering a positive, supportive, and fun environment, where kids feel heard and loved. I also have my own reliable car, so transportation is never an issue if you need me to pick up or drop off your child. I truly love working with kids of all ages, and my goal is always to make each child feel safe, respected, and excited to spend time with me. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones! Feel free to reach out with any questions.
