Babysitter Available Part-Time

Responds within a few days

*I am currently working remotely due to COVID-19, and thus my availability is more open* My name is Okwuchi, but you can call me Chi. I have over 13 years of paid babysitting experience (since high school!), working with infants to youth up to12 years old. My professional career has been heavily youth centered as well, as I have spent the past 6 years working with youth within CPS. My first job after moving to Chicago was at an elementary school, where I worked as a math teaching fellow my first year there, then a special education aide during my second year. After this, I worked at a health clinic doing health education with 9-12th graders throughout CPS. Currently, I work as a health educator with mainly k-8th graders in CPS schools. I have experience working with youth with Down Syndrome, ADD, ADHD and ODD. I have my current CPR/AED certification for infants, children and adults. Additionally, I am up to date on all my vaccines, including the Flu shot.

Fun-Loving And Caring Babysitter

Responds within a few days

I love caring for children and have over 30 years of child experience. When asked by her mother, who she wants for a play date, my 6-year-old niece always wants me! Most recently have been taking care of her newborn sister, well versed in diapers, bottles, naps and figuring out the need. We will play games, read, dance and sing. Weather permitting, there will be walks and bubble blowing! Crafts are always high on the list. When it comes to bedtime, children love my bubble baths, lots of books, a snack (as long as Mom approves) giggles and cuddles. I have a knack for getting children to bed! As a cat owner of 18 years and the "aunt" to many dogs (pups included), will take great care and respect them as part of your family. You will find me to be trustworthy, reliable and caring of your children. I will come to your home with energy, enthusiasm and fun activities. I am committed to providing a safe, happy environment for you and your children and will provide a copy of my FA/CPR/AED.

Hello, Dear Parents! My name is Laima. I am honest and reliable 42-year-old babysitter looking for a suitable family to work for as a live-out babysitter/nanny. I have extensive experience as a babysitter/nanny and I have all the qualifications needed for the job. In my country (Lithuania), I received my Child Nurse degree. I had worked for a while in a child clinic. In 1998, after getting my green card, I came to the US. I worked here as a Social Worker, then I started to work as a babysitter in 1999. I took care of newborns, toddlers, also twins, boys and girls. I can provide references upon request.

Before them, I was working for a nice professional doctors family and was taking care of a 4-year-old girl and 17-month-old boy. I have been working for them for 4 years. Thanks for your time! Sincerely, Laima

Reviewed by Terri R. Jul 2020 5/5 stars

Laima was employed as our nanny for approximately 20 months. During that time she was responsible for caring for our son, R., and another boy as part of a nanny-share arrangement. Laima cared for R. between the ages of 5 months and 26 months. During this time, we have come to know Laima very well and we recommend her with the utmost enthusiasm. Laima is professional. She was never late and always kept her commitments. Laima excels at finding fun, educational things to do with kids (or creating activities at home and teaching valuable skills). Laima is highly attentive to child safety issues. We always felt comfortable that she took great care of R. whether at the park or home and was effective in communicating any issues. Laima has an excellent rapport with the boys; she clearly loves children.

Hi everyone! I am looking to connect with a couple of families that are in need of an occasional babysitter!

When I babysit I enjoy playing games, doing crafts, reading, going for walks, and playing outside with the kids! I'm also an animal lover, so pets are not an issue.
