A little bit about me

I bring over two decades of experience working with young children from toddlers to early elementary and I genuinely love this stage of life. I’m the kind of caregiver who gets down on the floor to build, create, and explore, while also holding a calm, steady presence that helps children feel safe and understood.
My background is in Montessori education, where I’ve worked as a classroom guide, school leader, and teacher trainer. That means I’m skilled at supporting independence, guiding behavior with respect, and creating engaging, developmentally appropriate activities (think art projects, practical life skills, storytelling, and outdoor exploration).
I’m attentive, communicative, and deeply tuned in to children’s needs, whether that’s helping a toddler navigate big feelings or supporting a child’s growing curiosity about the world. Families often describe me as warm, reliable, and thoughtful, with a natural ability to connect.

Caroline K. - Seeking Work in Chicago

Babysitter Available in Chicago, IL: Caroline K.

Hi! I’m a nursing student who has always loved working with kids. I’ve been babysitting since I was 15 and have experience caring for children of all ages. I’m CPR certified, dependable, and happy to provide references from families I’ve babysat for in the past.

I would describe myself as kind, compassionate, patient, and responsible. My background in nursing has made me especially comfortable staying calm, attentive, and safety-conscious, while still making sure kids are having fun and feel comfortable with me. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and getting to know their individual personalities, whether that means playing games, helping with homework, doing crafts, or just being a caring and reliable presence.
