Hannah P., Child Care in Cottage Hills, IL 62018 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’m a 19-year-old student at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE), where I’m studying Criminal Justice and am a member of Alpha Phi. I graduated from Granite City High School in 2026 and have always enjoyed working with children! I have been babysitting for the same family occasionally since I was 15, so I have several years of experience caring for children. I have also worked as a soccer coach, gymnastics coach, and lifeguard. I hold my EMR and CPR certifications, which have helped me develop important safety skills and the ability to stay calm and responsible in different situations. Growing up, I played soccer, volleyball, and basketball throughout high school, so I love staying active and finding fun ways to keep kids entertained. I’m responsible, patient, caring, and dependable, and I want parents to feel comfortable knowing their children are in good hands. I would love the opportunity to help out your family and create a fun, safe, and positive environment for your kids!

Dejanique W., Child Care in Cottage Hills, IL 62018 with 8 years of paid experience

Hi families! 💕 As of now, I’m available for overnights Mon-Sun, late evenings, & Sat-Sun mornings. I’m also available for date nights & occasional babysitting. I’m so excited to connect with you! I’m currently a substitute teacher & absolutely love working w/kids—helping them learn, grow & have fun in a safe, caring environment. I bring patience, creativity & a positive attitude every day, whether we’re doing crafts, playing outside or learning something new. I’d love to support a family looking for an overnight/late evening nanny, babysitter or someone to call for date nights. I’m dependable, engaging & genuinely invested in children’s well-being. I’m lovable, energetic & love to have fun! I have a 10 yr old myself who brings me so much joy & happiness, so I know the ins & outs of caring for kids. I currently substitute when teachers call off, which allows me to work my own schedule, but I’m looking for stability—something FT or PT in the same field. I’m looking to be your perfect nanny since I already have advanced experience. I’d love to spend my time watching, caring for & teaching kids. I have experience watching 2 kids over the summer until they got older, & I can provide their family as a reference. I also love helping the elderly in my community & volunteering. I took a Child Development class in high school in 2013. After graduating, I worked as a Direct Support Professional & Personal Care Attendant helping individuals w/disabilities. Throughout the yrs, I’ve earned Mandt Training, CPR & First Aid, Substitute Teaching & Med Level 1. These certificates are currently active & I can provide proof. Caring for kids & adults isn’t just a job to me—it’s my passion. ❤️ When I was younger, I participated in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. I graduated from the program & currently volunteer. I’ve also kept a connection w/my mentor, who was my Big Sister when I was younger. She is now a lawyer & can provide a great professional character reference for me. If you think I might be a good fit for your family, I’d be so happy to chat more! 😊

Kaleigh S., Child Care in Cottage Hills, IL 62018 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi! I’m a caring, patient, and dependable caregiver with experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I’ve helped care for my two younger siblings, cousins, and other family members over the years. My aunt is also a daycare director, and I’ve had opportunities to assist with after-hours childcare at her daycare. I’m currently a pre-nursing student and a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), so providing compassionate care and prioritizing safety are important to me. I’m CPR and BLS certified, and my healthcare background has helped me develop strong caregiving skills, patience, and a sense of responsibility. I’m happy to help with preparing meals, homework assistance, educational enrichment activities, creative play, and age-appropriate activities that keep children engaged and learning. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where children can feel comfortable, express themselves, and grow. My goal is to provide families with dependable childcare and peace of mind, knowing their little ones are being cared for with kindness, attention, and patience. I look forward to meeting your family and becoming someone you can trust!
