Find a babysitter in Cicero, IL

I am currently pursuing a masters in occupational therapy at DePaul University and have a passion for helping children. Despite being in grad school, I’m a child at heart, enjoy watching kid movies/cartoons, playing outside, painting, and board games. I have experience with younger siblings, neurodivergent kids, and usually babysit ages 1-12, but am looking forward to gaining more experience across all ages!

I am a loving mother of 4 teens, 19, 15.15 and 14. I work as a Buyer for a Federal Contractor and as a Hairstylist part time. I have a genuine love for children and have helped raise my 7 nieces and nephews. I have plenty of children around me between family and friends that range from infants to school age that I sit from time to time. I also have 2 children ages 5 and 2, that spend a great deal of time at my home. They were God children of my deceased nephew that we grew to love as family. I am very caring, patient, fun and understanding. Most children attach to me easily. I am very experienced and patient with infants.

Hello! My name is Jeanette. I moved to Chicago in 2021 to pursue my MA in Sound Arts and Industries at Northwestern University. I currently work as a freelance audio engineer and teaching artist in the local film and arts community, and I’m looking for part-time or occasional childcare opportunities between projects. Before moving to Chicago, I worked as an early childhood educator in New Mexico public schools and summer programs. I earned my BA from the University of New Mexico with an interdisciplinary focus in Early Childhood & Multicultural Education, Music Studies/Performance, and Communication. I have years of experience working with children from early childhood through teens as a teacher, nanny, and sitter. I love caregiving because it’s rewarding to support kids as they explore, learn, and grow while creating a safe, creative, and encouraging environment. I enjoy engaging kids through reading stories, singing songs and nursery rhymes, music, crafts, imaginative play, outdoor exploration, and sensory activities. I like following children’s interests and encouraging curiosity while also supporting routines and helping kids tidy up after activities. When screen time is allowed, I prefer guided movement breaks or short educational programs (like Danny Go, Ms. Rachel, or Kids TV 123), but I usually try to keep kids engaged with hands-on activities instead. I’m bilingual (fluent in Spanish), play a variety of string instruments, and am currently working toward my Deep Listening certification. I previously worked with a community organization in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood co-teaching expressive arts classes for children and families, and volunteered with ALAS as a violin instructor for a mariachi youth group. While living in Santa Fe, I also led an outdoor summer arts adventure program organizing nature-based art projects, movement games, and creative activities both outdoors and indoors. More recently, I’ve spent lots of time helping care for my two nieces (now ages 2 and 5), which keeps my toddler and early childhood play skills active. I’m trained in first aid and infant/toddler CPR and am happy to help with light household tasks during naps. I’m also happy to provide references or my resume upon request. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio, I hope to connect with your family soon!

I have been babysitting/nannying for about 14 years and I love working with kids! I have a Masters in Education and working to get a second Masters degree, and I have other relevant childcare experience from working at a preschool as well as a K-8 summer camp. I am a crafty and creative person, so I love doing art projects and playing outside! I also have experience pet-sitting and house-sitting.
