Sweet Sheila's

546 E. 13th Street Lockport, IL

< 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.

152 East Peiffer Avenue Lemont, IL

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.

Delaney Tot Spot is an in-home childcare program serving children ages 1-5 years old. I currently have a certificate as an assistant early childhood teacher. I am working to attain a degree in early childhood education.I have been in the field for a about three years now. I have been working along side my mother, who has owned an in-home daycare for 3+ years as well. My mother will now be my substitute when I have class. My experience includes working with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. However, our program currently accepts 2-5 year old children. Delaney Tot Spot provides children with fun but educational activities. This program is play-based, which means that we will teach children through play. The children are not just left to play alone all day. We will educate them while they are engaged in play. We will set up open-ended activities/experiences each day. Each activity will be geared towards your child's individual needs and interests. Delaney Tot Spot will provide nutritious meals and snacks for all children. The children will have plenty of outdoor play time in our backyard play set. We will incorporate fun and educational field trips as well!

FAQs for finding preschools near you in Lockport, IL

There are two main types of preschool programs near you in Lockport, IL. The first is a full-time program that usually works best for parents working full-time shifts, and the second is a part-time preschool where your child would attend only two to three days per week and typically choose between a morning and afternoon shift. A part-time preschool can be a great option if you want to ease the transition of this new learning experience for your child! You can also check your options in Lockport, IL for traditional preschool centers, or private home-based preschools.

When you begin looking for preschools near me in Lockport, IL, consider your priorities and ask administrators about their philosophies and approach to common child care issues or occurances. You may also want to ask about the ratio of learning time to supervised play time so you can get a good sense of whether you believe your child's needs will be met. From there, ask about what a typical day consists of, what the safety protocols are and how discipline will be handled. Also, make sure to check directly with the preschool for information about their local licensing and credentials in Lockport, IL.

When looking for a preschool near you in Lockport, IL on Care.com, you'll be able to review preschools by distance from you ZIP code. From there, you can compare between preschool programs by traditional facility-based preschools and private, in-home preschools.
