Find infant babysitters in Palos Hills, IL

Hi! My name is Alyssa! I am currently a sophomore enrolled at Ball State University studying biology with an emphasis in genetics. I am offering services in childcare and pet care. I am detail oriented, organized, and observant. I have been working with and babysitting kids since I was 12 years old. I have experience with toddlers and school age children. I enjoy playing, creating art projects, doing outside activities, and more. I also have experience in tutoring and homework help. I currently have 2 dogs at home and I love to work with pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I am comfortable with walking, feeding, cleaning tanks and cages, and basic training (for dogs). I am available to cook, light cleaning, laundry, and run errands.

I have an extensive, verifiable background in childcare, having about 15 years in private home care and daycare centers, including children with a range of special needs. I'm trustworthy, reliable, and pretty flexible with parents' & child's needs, scheduling/ adhering to naps (sleep training), enjoy partaking in transitions/ milestones/ overall development, and making sure that children are on track - based on recommnded guidelines! I can do light house-keeping, child's laundry, bath-time, meal/ snack preparation (including introduction to solids/ Baby-Led Weaning, Organic Cooking/ & per parents' instructions), as well as, engage children in fun, language/ educational activities, community walks/ parks, etc., weather permitting! Part of my philosophy is to shadow a child, allowing them freedom in exploration and expression thru nurturing, and creating a safe environment!! I'm bilingual (English/ Spanish), a non-smoker & pet-friendly (additionally, providing pet-sitting services)! I'm up-to-date with my vaccines & recently renewed my CPR/ First Aid/ AED Certification earlier this Summer! I've enjoyed the on-going relationship-building with first-time parents & continous contact for care with past employers! People I usually work with say that I go beyond/ meeting expectations! l also have outstanding references & letters of recommendation at your request. It would be my pleasure to have an opportunity to speak with you/ & meet w/ your family, vía a video call, or, in person. Thank you in advance! JC

Hi! My name is Zoey and I'm 18 years old. I'm a freshman in college looking for extra jobs to pick up and I figured babysitting would be the best for me! I currently have a job already but I am trying to get my first car and the hours there just isn't enough so I feel like babysitting could make me extra money while do something I like! I do have more experience with pets specifically dogs than people but I have babysat children in the past and it was something I enjoyed doing so I think this is a good fit. I have one dog now and she is a Presa Canaria and I love and cherish her very much. I did have a Maltese poo but he just recently passed at 14 years old so I've had him since I was little. I went to high school at Whitney Young here in Chicago and my current career path is to become an aesthetic nurse practitioner to eventually open my own medspa. I think that I like caregiving because I'm a very patient and humble person already, a lot of people I know describes me to be laid back but observant of my surroundings which I think is important when it comes to kids or pets because anything can happen in a very short amount of time with them whether is big or small so you just have to be sure to pay attention but keep a calm spirit because I've learned that when you're not calm they also aren't. Overall, I'm looking forward to start this position of caregiving!
