Booked by 1 family in New Lenox, 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.

Leilani $20 per hour for 1 child

Each child is a unique gift, and as a doula and aspiring youth pastor, I feel called to support them in their growth and development. I'm looking for babysitting and nannying opportunities where I can provide nurturing, reliable care while creating a safe space for children to learn, play, and thrive. I have experience working with children ages 2 months to 12 years old and love engaging kids through creative activities, homework help, outdoor play, and more. I'm available for both regular care and occasional sitting and bring patience, enthusiasm, and a genuine commitment to supporting both children and their families.

I love working and being around kids, and doing tasks to stay busy with them. My communication with kids is strong and do my best to have a good eye to eye understanding with them.

LaDawn $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

Celestine $16 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Celestine. I am looking for babysitting jobs while I am home from college until mid January. I grew up with my mom running an in-home daycare and I have cared for the many toddlers and children in my family, so I have lots of experience and love for children! I also have experience caring for pets. I am enthusiastic, dependable, caring, and responsible. In addition to caring for children, I am happy to complete household responsibilities, pet care, rides to/from activities, and help with errands. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!
