Booked by 1 family in Thornton, IL

I am fun loving of all kids and pets. With my own daughter I learned a lot about growing children and how to teach and help them grow into the best part of themselves. I also know what it means for parents to have a break, and can easily make sure to give you the peace of mind needed when taking a much needed break.

Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable medical student who has grown up helping care for younger siblings and family members. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with children and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. I’m comfortable with children from toddlers through teens and can help with playtime, homework, meals, routines, and keeping kids engaged. I’m patient, attentive, organized, and take following parents’ instructions and routines seriously. I’m currently looking for part-time, occasional, and date-night babysitting opportunities and would love the opportunity to support your family!

Hello! My name is Olivia. I am a 30 year old Special Education teacher. I am looking for a family who needs an occasional sitter on evenings, weekends or in the summer (date night, last minute, etc). I have worked with children of all ages, abilities & have cared for 3+ children at a time. I genuinely love kids- helping them, teaching them, building healthy relationships, going on adventures & being out in nature. In my free time, I spend time with family, friends & my dogs. I am very comfortable working with families who have pets as well! I am flexible, dependable & trustworthy.
