Hi, My name is Kelsey. I am a fun, easy going, reliable individual. My passion for working with children has extended throughout my life starting with babysitting for my family members.

I have worked a before & after school program for a variety of grammar schools through the park district. I have worked as a preschool teacher at a day care with children ranging from 6 weeks to 12 years old. I am CPR certified.

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 Laura I have over 20 years of experience either nannying, Teaching Preschool & working at summer camps. I have always enjoyed being around children & find it the most rewarding job one can have. I have a Bachelors degree in Early Childhood Education with a special needs endorsement.

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and being part of their growth. Every day is different—from helping with homework to creating fun activities—and it’s really rewarding to build a bond with a child and be someone they feel safe and comfortable with. I take pride in creating a positive, nurturing environment where they can learn, laugh, and just be themselves. I’ve had several years of experience caring for children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens. I’ve worked with my aunt at her licensed at home daycare, which insisted of daily routines such as educational activities aswell as fun I’ve also helped with light meal prep and homework support. Each experience has taught me something new about patience, communication, and understanding children’s unique needs. I’m great at keeping kids engaged with creative activities, structured routines, and positive discipline when needed. I’m also very dependable, organized, and calm under pressure—which I’ve found is really important when juggling the energy and unpredictability that comes with childcare.
