Find a last-minute babysitter in Franklin Park, IL

I'm a fun, outgoing, and caring individual looking for part-time, flexible hours! I have a lot of experience with babies, toddlers, and elementary-age kids. When I'm not babysitting, I'm an actor around Chicago and teach theatre to kids ages 1-14, as a visiting teaching artist in preschools, elementary schools, and in special ed cluster classrooms. I have years of experience working with kids on the autism spectrum and pride myself on seeing all kids as whole, autonomous people. I love pets, arts and crafts, reading, and singing and dancing!

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

I have been a pediatric speech language pathologist for 14 years. Prior to beginning my career, I had extensive baby-sitting experience. I will provide care for my nephews and niece regularly. I have extensive experience working with children with special needs, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. In addition to providing speech and language services, I am also a feeding therapist. I am CPR-certified. I am just looking to do some work slightly outside of my career-field.

Good day! I am Debbie and I’m 21 years old. I’m from the Philippines and English is my second language. Currently in my first year of my Nursing program mostly online. So to speak, I’ve been doing caregiving for seniors for about 2 years now as my part time job. I have decided to explore, and try to nanny children. I have younger siblings which is an advantage for me.
