Resume Link:[removed] Hi, my name is Lindsey! I love working with children of all ages, especially infants and toddlers! I have an associate degree in early childhood education from Sauk Valley Community College and plan to pursue a bachelor's degree in the future. I have experience as a summer and after-school counselor, working with kids aged K-5th grade, and, most recently, as a full-time assistant daycare teacher in a 15-30 month classroom. I would also occasionally work in the daycare infant room when needed. One of the main reasons I love working with children is their innate love for exploration, creativity, and learning; just like myself! I believe that children need a strong, safe, and trustworthy support system to thrive, and I will provide all of those qualities. I love to sing, dance, read, write, craft, explore new places, and spend time in nature; all of which are traits that I directly apply when working with children. Furthermore, I am deeply passionate about teaching children age-appropriate emotional intelligence and regulation. While working in daycare, I taught my toddlers the names and feelings of different emotions, breathing exercises, how to find a trusted adult in times of emotional distress, how to say to a peer “Stop!” and “I do not like that!”, healthy ways to express anger, frustration, or other “upset” emotions without physically harming oneself or others, and where to find a safe and calm space to “calm their body.” For me, helping a child grow emotionally is incredibly rewarding, and I am ready and willing to nurture this growth with every child I work with. In addition to childcare, I am experienced in caring for dogs, cats, bearded dragons or similar reptiles, hedgehogs, beta fish, and parakeets (my family has had lots of pets over the years!). Additionally, having worked multiple customer service jobs and maintained the cleanliness of a toddler classroom, I am highly experienced in housekeeping services and running errands.

Hi! My name is Lakeya. I am currently in school for Early Childhood Education. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I am also certified as a Newborn Care Specialist. I have my Certificate in Child Development. I strongly believe in open communication in order to avoid any problems & keep things going smoothly. If there is ever any kind of problem, I will feel comfortable to discuss it right away & I would love for the family to do the same. I have a very loving & nurturing character. I have a genuine and absolute love for children. Working with children is one thing that I absolutely love about my life. My main focus are your children. I do housekeeping, prepare meals, do laundry & anything related to taking care of your children. I enjoy being active & imaginative with kids. I love every thing from arts&crafts to dress up to museum trips & playing make believe. I engage with them by taking them to the park, museum, zoo, botanical garden, creating an art project, or reading a colorful book. I understand that each child is different & it is all about finding what works on an individual basis. I love being a part of helping children learn & grow. Interacting with kids in all activities is what I do best. Whether it's work time or play time, I am there & ready to be a part of it. I am fun-loving, reliable, enthusiastic, & compassionate. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family & friends, cooking, and reading. I am available to start immediately. I'm also available to work on the weekends, on-call, date nights, overnight, holidays, and vacations. I am also available on short notice and overtime. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I would be happy to provide references as well as meet in person or chat on the phone. I look forward to hearing from you.

- I have a 4 hour minimum - I ask for a car home after 10pm for safety. Thanks! Hi! I am an actress/singer/photographer/web designer who adores kids! (and pets!) Originally from Kansas City, I have been living in NYC for 18 years. I graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre from Webster Conservatory of Theatre Arts in St. Louis, MO. Not only do I love spending time with kids - I also love performing for them. I have toured the country performing in the Dr. Seuss musical SEUSSICAL and I have also performed with Disney Cruise Line playing Mary Poppins, Mrs. Potts, The Fairy Godmother and more! I began babysitting when my little brother was born (I was 11) and I have been babysitting ever since! I adore kids and their outlook on life. They bring me so much joy. I have worked with newborns, teens and every age in between. I audition a lot during week days so nights and weekends are best for me. (I do not mind working really late nights!) I look forward to meeting you and your family!

“Mallory was wonderful with our 9 month old son!! She was great at communicating and made my husband and I feel fully at ease being away from him for the night. We highly recommend her!!”
