Find infant babysitters in Steger, IL

Hi! I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminology at UIC. I have experience working with children through my work as a summer camp counselor and middle school assistant coach. I’ve supervised children, organized activities, helped create a safe and welcoming environment, and encouraged teamwork and positive behavior. I enjoy caregiving because I like helping children feel comfortable, supported, and engaged. I’m patient, responsible, and dependable, and I enjoy finding fun activities that match each child’s interests. Outside of work and school, I’m an animal lover and have a pet snake. I’m excited to provide families with reliable and caring support!

As a proud mother of two grown, independent adult children, my nest may be empty, but my heart is still completely full of love for little ones. Having successfully navigated the beautiful, chaotic journey of raising my own kids into adulthood, I find myself deeply missing the pure joy, curiosity, and laughter that only children bring. I am eager to channel that enduring warmth, patience, and experience into providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for your children.

I have 1 year of experience as a teachers aid for pre-k through 5th grade and frequently watch and take out my 5 year old nephew for fun activities. I grew up with dogs and get along with them well. I’m patient, kind, and easy going. I’d gladly uphold any parenting guidelines or dietary guidance/restrictions that are preferred. I’m also happy to cook simple/healthy meals. Happy to help with homework when necessary.
