Looking for work as a babysitter or nanny

  • 10 years paid experience
  • Babysitter in Skokie, IL 60076

Meet Rosanne

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I have many years of experience with children in a wide range of settings, including many years of babysitting for families in their homes, working as a summer camp counselor, as an assistant teacher in a daycare, and volunteering in two elementary schools. I raised my own son and I occasionally watch my 4 and 6 year old grandsons. I currently babysit a 8 year old girl during the school year on Thursday evenings. I am currently seeking additional occasional babysitting jobs and/or a regular part-time childcare position, now that I am fully (early) retired from a professional career in international education. I am open to staying with kids while their parents go on vacation, if the kids are old enough to handle the temporary absence of their parents. I completed a pediatric first aid and CPR class scheduled in November 2023. When I am watching children I do not Read more use my cell phone (other than in case of emergency or if I need to schedule an appointment) as I want to give the kids my undivided attention. I especially enjoy reading to children, doing art projects together, and taking nature walks. I am very energetic, and on days when I am not babysitting, I typically take 4 - 5 mile walks along the lake. I am very happy to provide professional and personal references. Among the parents from whom I can provide references are a neonatologist, a professor of psychology, a nurse, and an elementary schoolteacher. As a caregiver, I am highly reliable, kind, warm, and fun. I love both kids and dogs. My schedule is typically very flexible, and I can often make myself available for last-minute requests. Thank you. Rosanne

Roseanne was amazing with our 3.5 year old and newborn. So good at bedtime reading stories and singing songs. Our daughter had a blast hanging out with her. Highly recommend Roseanne as a great sitter!

Roseanne watches my 6 month old boy twice a week. She is incredibly intuitive and we trust her completely watching our child. As new parents, my husband and I can be anxious about certain things when it comes to our child and not only does she ease our anxieties, but she also works with us to provide him with the best care possible. She takes any direction we give her, and asks lots of questions to ensure that she is meeting the needs of our family. Roseanne spends the day going on walks with our son, reading to him, doing tummy time exercises, playing with him and sending us pictures of the fun they are having throughout the day. She was the first caretaker besides me or my husband to be able to get our son to take a full bottle and get him down for naps. We highly recommend Roseanne to anyone looking for a nanny, especially someone who might be feeling nervous about leaving their child with someone new. My son clearly loves spending time with Roseanne and we are so thankful we found her!

Rosanne deeply cares for our daughter’s best interests. She is invested in promoting her growth and development. She treats our daughter as if she were part of her own family. Rosanne is responsive, timely, and consistent. We trust her wholeheartedly to take care of our baby when we are away.

We feel so lucky to have found Rosanne! She is so attentive and thoughtful with our kids - always giving them her full attention. They talk about her constantly and always look forward to seeing her. As a parent, I appreciate Rosanne's clear and prompt communication, and she immediately made me feel comfortable working with her.

Rosanne babysat my 9 month old and it was a great experience. She was warm and friendly and came prepared with books and toys. She was attentive and provided updates throughout the night. I felt like my baby was in good hands and he seemed happy in her care. She also went above and beyond by tidying up the house which was nice to come home to. We would definitely use Rosanne again.
