I am a loving mom. I am looking to fill one or two spots for June of 2021 in my in-home daycare in Willow Walk, Lockport. I have excellent references. I believe in at home daycare! I have a wonderful small group of children that I am currently watching and looking to add to my group. I have 9 years experience.

Hello, my name is Melani. I'm a stay-at-home mother of three. I am blessed to have the opportunity to stay home with my children and it would be an honor to serve as a care provider for your children. When my husband and I decided I would stay home with our children, it was like a vacation at first, but I was not used to just staying home. I wanted to do more, so, I started helping my neighbor who ran a day care in her home. My eldest son loves playing with the other kids. He started making friends at a very young age. It was beautiful to watch children achieve little milestones, it's like watching a flower bloom. Soon, I wanted to run a day care in my home. My friend assisted me on the paperwork, and my family transformed our home into a day care, which looks more like a play land for kids. My children and I are always on the go. We just don't want to stay in one place. Children learn and grow by the things they see and do everyday. It opens up their minds, as they become aware and capture different things around them. I love to take my kids places so they may explore and learn and grow. When I started caring for children, my husband bought us a van, so I can still take our kids and my day care kids to different places. When I was in the corporate world, I thought getting a promotion was the reward, now, I feel I have the most rewarding job. Thank you for choosing me as care provider for your children as it would be an honor for me.

Sweet Sheila's

< 1 mi

My name is Sheila. I provide in-home babysitting services for children ages 1 or older. I offer very flexible hours. Full time, part time, or last minute hours always available. Whether you need services for working hours or a date night, I am available. I will provide a loving, caring, and safe environment for your child or children to feel confident in being exactly who they are. This is embraced completely. Children live what they learn through positive experiences in life. I completed high school with high honors and majored in all childhood development and psychology courses. I also completed some college majoring in the same. I am educated and experienced. I believe with all my heart and soul that children truly benefit from a caring relationship with the caregiver when child care is necessary. I believe in teaching children that they are all unique and that they are capable of doing anything they want in life. I believe in building confidence and that absolutely nobody should be torn down for any reason. I have always practiced positive reinforcement and never have practiced negative disciplinary methods. I do have 1 child myself. He is 7 years old and loves to play with children of any age. Your child/children will receive personalized attention, which will let them know that they are important people. I will only provide services for 1-3 children to embrace my beliefs and so I am completely available to give your child/children the most awesome care, attention, and fun possible. I am looking forward to meeting new clients with incredibly awesome children. This has always been a passion in my life and take pride in the care that I have been blessed to provide. I do require a babysitting checklist. I will need to know if there are any specialty needs, any known allergies, any medications (if applicable), restrictions on any activities (including where your child can play), emergency contact numbers-cell, work, home, and any other contacts you would like to list.

My name is Daniela, I have been working with children of different ages since 1999, I have a DCFS Family Daycare License. I obtained my Degree in Early Childhood Education. I provide the highest quality child care. I achieve this through a combination of education, experience, a positive attitude and most importantly a love of children. Our home-Daycare is a safe and happy place where children can learn and grow physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially at their own pace. I provide the children under my care opportunities to learn with mixed aged groups where they can feel safe, loved and can begin to build a positive self image. In a clean and interesting environment, I encourage children's curiosity, creativity, confidence, independence, discovery, cooperation, and language. I believe in the value of playing. Through play, children will learn cognitive, language, physical and social skills. I encourage the children to use their imagination and provide an area with costumes for dress up and have a tiny kitchen for pretend play. I promote role playing, story telling and join the children at play. I love music and dance and incorporate these elements into everyday. Some days, the children and I play instruments, sing songs, have dance parties or just listen to music from all genres. I truly believe in complementing the parent/ child relationship and maintaining a caring and responsible value system. Promoting parent involvement is essential to develop partnership between child, parent and teacher. Parents are welcome to participate in daycare activities. I believe in respecting any family culture and beliefs, giving them the opportunity to feel free to share or give any comments or ideas for the program. As a Family Daycare Educator, I believe that every child will develop different. A lot of thought and effort goes into planning our weeks and developing new programs to incorporate into our daycare. I always plan developmentally appropriate activities. The most important thing to remember is that I truly love and respect all the children under our care.

I am a stay at home mother that offers childcare in my home. I have two wonderful children of my own - a 6 year old son that loves to get into everything and makes sure that the house is never too quiet. I also have an 11 year old daughter that loves playing with all the other kids in the house. Both of my children are home-schooled. My home is very laid back and the kids will get to have lots of fun. I have a big fenced in backyard with a swing set that the kids can play on. We also have a family dog. Tiger is a 4 year old rescue that has more energy than most of the kids, any children that are the appropriate height will be subjected to many unsolicited kisses from her. I try to take the kids on a field trip every week or two. I have taken the kids to many great places like the zoo, aquarium, parks, strawberry picking, etc. If you would like to see if my home would be a good fit for your child, just let me know. Availability as of 2/21/2018, I am only providing occasional childcare at this time. If you need help for a one time or occasional event feel free to contact me. I can also help out with last minute cancellations as long as I don't have any other scheduling conflicts.

The children will have plenty of outdoor play time in our backyard play set. We will incorporate fun and educational field trips as well!

Hi! I am a stay at home mom who offers care to a couple of children in addition to my own 3 year old daughter. I believe whole heartedly in the individual attention and comfort that being in a home environment provides. Our days are spent learning through play, reading, pretend, creating and exploring our world outdoors. This is not a pulsating day care center that is constantly loud and going, going 24/7. This is a home. We also enjoy some down time to snack, relax and nap. I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old. I have always had a natural rapport with children. I have never met a child that doesn't respond to me. I really understand kids and make it my business to make sure they know they are loved, understood and appreciated for being uniquely, wonderful Them! I have been a mother for 19 years. I am also a former teacher at a Mommy &amp; Me program where you learn through play and music. I was a very popular teacher there whose classes filled up immediately. I believe that young children learn through having fun and enjoying their environment. I am always signing, reading, and just plain fun. I give all children in my care plenty of eye contact, one on one attention, hugs and love. I serve lots of fresh fruit and healthy, kid friendly meals. My home is very safe and chock full of games, dolls, trucks, make believe dress up, books, and fun! We love to be outdoors. I have a swing set, sandbox, water table, chalk, bubbles, sprinklers, ride on toys and a park around the corner. My backyard is totally fenced as well. I am a very warm, loving, patient woman who will be a friend not just an employee. I like for families to feel a part of our family and home. If I am caring for your heart and soul all day, you should absolutely feel welcomed and able to come on in, anytime you please. If you would like to talk further with me or have some questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I am always hopeful to build relationships that are mutually beneficial. Thanks for learning about me.

FAQs for finding drop-in daycares near you in Lockport, IL

Drop-in daycare near you in Lockport, IL can be a flexible and convenient solution for busy parents who need child care on an as-needed basis. This type of child care gives families the flexibility to drop their children off for just a few hours or for an entire day, depending on their individual needs.

Typically, drop-in daycares cater to children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years old, but daycares will vary depending on their facilities and requirements. When reaching out to drop-in daycares in Lockport, IL, be sure to mention the age of your child or children and confirm they accept children in that range.

While drop-in daycares in Lockport, IL may require a short registration process and forms to be filled out, it is usually not necessary to make a reservation ahead of time for each visit.
