Juliet $25 per hour for 1 child

I'm a fun, outgoing, and caring individual looking for part-time, flexible hours! I have a lot of experience with babies, toddlers, and elementary-age kids. When I'm not babysitting, I'm an actor around Chicago and teach theatre to kids ages 1-14, as a visiting teaching artist in preschools, elementary schools, and in special ed cluster classrooms. I have years of experience working with kids on the autism spectrum and pride myself on seeing all kids as whole, autonomous people. I love pets, arts and crafts, reading, and singing and dancing!

$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Wilmette, IL

Since September of 2022, I have worked as a Preschool assistant for ages 5 and below, feeding the kids, playing with them, changing diapers, and helping with nap time. I have experience with setting up routine for kids, and I have dealt with a variety of behaviors in the classrooms I have been in. I would be happy to provide a message of recommendation from coworkers and supervisors. I also have had general baby sitting experience my whole life for ages 12 and under. I recently completed my Bachelors degree in a liberal arts major, and this past summer I took a child development course though City Colleges of Chicago. I also have been working through various Illinois Gateways online trainings regarding early childhood education. As for pets, I have owned nearly a total of 20 cats through my lifetime and have plenty of experience with caring for them. I also have had experience house sitting for my father and taking care of his two dogs. As for other animals, if I have instructions for care there is no limit to the animals I could care for. I love caretaking because it is so special to me to get to know someone so little and learn the best ways to connect with them and take care of them. Every child deserves care and attention, and I would like to help out parents so that they know their child is with someone who will be taking the best possible care of them.

Lisa was on time, very friendly, and connected with the kids right away. Great sitter!
