Sittercity helps Silver Lake families find the best nannies

With 7 years of experience at such a young age I believe I can be the perfect fit for any family! My education mixed with my energized spirit is sure to help implement a bond with all children I work with!

I have worked with children since 1999, since then I have worked in daycares with ages 6wks- 12 years old along with children with special needs. After my daycare adventures I taught preschool from 2005-2012. I have been a nanny since 2012 and through those years I have worked with many families with ages 6wks-15 years old. I love being with children, it is so fun to watch them grow and mature and through the years the children I cared for taught me many things with the biggest one being patience. I am newer to this site so I have references on request.

I have always had a passion with working/ helping children since I was little. I love to be outdoors when the weather permits. I enjoy doing hands on activities with the children and helping them achieve their milestones. I enjoy going on adventures with the children. (walks, parks,library, farmer markets, children’s museum) I am CPR and First Aid certified and fully vaccinated. I look forward to speaking with you all!

Hello! My name is Amanda, I'm 27 years old and have been working with children for a long time. My experience ranges from full time nanny, babysitting the neighbors kids to working as a preschool aid and youth counselor at the local park districts Before & After school program. Ensuring a fun, safe environment full of laughs and lots of play time is my goal. I can also help with basic household chores, homework and meal prep. - I have also worked directly with children who have special needs, coordinated and worked at special Olympic functions and volunteered. A little about myself - I spend most of my free time hiking and exploring the surrounding national parks. Outside is my favorite place to be. I've been an athlete all my life, I love playing and watching sports and keeping active. I spent the summer months in Colorado backpacking and hiking and after a lot of traveling lived in the beautiful state of Washington for nearly 7 years! I recently moved back to my home state Illinois and am looking for new beginnings and a fresh start!

I have been a nanny for seven years and I just got a job as a personal trainer! My hours are for the early morning to mid afternoon so I am looking for an after school babysitting job for a family that enjoys crafts, cooking, and being outside when we can! I've done all of the above with homework help, dinner prep, or making dinner. I am looking for a family that has great communication with their babysitter so everything runs smoothly. Thank you!

I have experience caring for children of all ages—from babies to teenagers. I’m a calm, patient, and reliable person who enjoys spending time with kids, supporting their routines, and making sure they feel safe and cared for. Over the years, I’ve helped with a variety of tasks like meal prep, playtime, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping things organized. I try to adapt to each child’s needs, whether they need more attention, encouragement, or just someone to have fun with. I also have basic knowledge of first aid and try to stay alert and responsible at all times. I know how important communication with parents is, and I always do my best to follow their instructions and keep them informed. Taking care of kids is something I truly enjoy, and I always aim to create a positive and respectful environment where they can feel comfortable and happy.
