I am a mother of two school age boys. I have more than 15 years experience with children of all ages. I started caring for children in my home 7 years ago and absolutely love it! I love to get the children outside as much as possible. We have a nearby park and we have so many activities to do just in the yard. If the weather is not in our favor we will have a variety of things to do in the house, from crafts, reading, playing with toys etc. I will treat your child as if they were my own! I believe in positive communication and provide a loving atmosphere. I do also provide before and after school care. I will make sure that your child starts and/or finishes their homework prior to you picking them up. Thank you so much for reading my profile,. I hope to hear from you.

8950 S. 84th Court Hickory Hills, IL

I've been doing in home childcare for a little over 16 years now and I am licensed through the state. Prior to my daycare career I was a teacher until I became a Mom! I was also the head of an after-school program for a local elementary school. I've worked in daycare, summer camps, summer school, basically any job that involves children. I have my degree with a certification in early childhood education. I started babysitting out of my home 16 years ago and love it. I've teamed up with my sister who is also a stay at home mom and comes to my house to help me out or to fill in for me. Teaming up with my sister has really worked out nice because she's my back up so you wouldn't ever have to worry about your sitter calling off with the two of us! We would treat your child as if he/she were our own. As a mother I know how hard it is to find childcare I've been there, especially trusting someone off the internet. Rest assure being a teacher in a public school I've been fingerprinted, background checked, and have a great reputation from my long term families I sit for! I charge $50/day for full time and $60/day for part time (2 or 3 days). I live in Hickory Hills very close to 294 &amp; 55. Please email me if you'd like more information, I'd love to meet you and your little one:) Thanks
