Find infant babysitters in River Grove, IL

Hi! My name is Becca :) I recently graduated with my Master of Social Work and am looking for part-time or short-term babysitting gigs while I search for my full-time job. I have 10 years of paid child-care experience- everything from date-night babysitting to full-time and summer nannying to working as a camp counselor. I also have worked with children and families in a therapeutic capacity as a social work intern. I have the most experience with the 0-5 age range. I love reading books, coloring, doing puzzles, and going for walks! I am CPR/First Aid certified, comfortable with pets, have access to reliable transportation, and am happy to provide references as requested. Excited to hopefully connect!

Hello, Thank you for reading my profile. I am a newly retired Educator with significant experience teaching and working with elementary school children. In recent years I have taught kindergarten and worked with children who have a variety of needs, temperaments, and talents. I am thoughtful, caring, and conscientious, and will provide a high quality of care. I am also a parent and have had the pleasure of raising a child from infancy to adulthood. My goal is to provide a safe, informed, joyful experience for your child.

I love helping families in the neighborhood, and I'm great with homework help, meal prep, keeping the place clean, staying patient, and keep the house safe and quiet so that children can sleep while you're away.

With over a decade of professional experience in child care; lifeguard, swim instructor, children's birthday entertainer, substitute teacher, and daycare worker/pre-k teacher, I have just about every child imaginable. I've also been babysitting since I was 12, for my parents, cousins, friends, and the occasional co-worker who needed a night off. I've seen all ages, 6m-17y. I like to think I connect with children so well because I truly am just a big kid at heart. But I also know when play time is over and to be firm, but fair. I have training in basic first aid, CPR, basic diabetic care, certified in anaphylactic safety, certified in allergy safety, certified in food handling and safety.

Hi there! My name is Lila and I’m looking to do some babysitting while I’m home for college! I’ve lived in Bucktown my whole life but reside in Pittsburgh for part of the year as I’m a sophmore at the University of Pittsburgh. I love crafts, cooking, and overall being super silly and fun with kids! With four years of experience as a camp counselor at an overnight camp, I have plenty of energy when hanging out with younger kids. I’m more experienced with kids seven and older, but I’ve also babysat for kids under that. I have two dogs of my own, so no pets will be a hassle. Thank you!
