A little bit about me
Hello,
My name is Kelisa Downer currently enrolled in community college for nursing program. On my way to getting my CNA certification by the end of November of 2023, Im 19. I have quite a lot of experience with babysitting.
I have provided care and supervision for children during evenings and overnight hours. I was responsible for ensuring their safety and well-being while their parents are on a date night. This includes tasks such as preparing and serving meals, helping with bedtime routines, monitoring sleep, and attending to any nighttime needs such as comforting them if they wake up. I also helped with light housekeeping duties related to the children, such as tidying up their toys or cleaning up after mealtime.
I’ve also looked over my 12 year old sister whilst growing up and times that my mother needed to step out the house I’d watch over her and make sure that she was in good hands as well.

A little bit about me
Hi there! Just a little note about myself. I am a proud mom of 2 beautiful girls, 18 and 11. I live in Beverly and my daughters attend Marist High School and Clissold Elementary. I have loads of experience with newborns and beyond. I have over 8 years experience as a Chicago Fire Department Paramedic as well as over 25 years of newborn/infant experience. My parents were foster parents through my entire life so I grew up holding and caring for newborns/infants at a very young age. I can promise you that your little one will be in great hands as I am a mother myself and understand the feeling of leaving your child with someone new. I have excellent references and I am certified in CPR, ACLS, PALS and as mentioned above I am a Licensed Paramedic through IDPH. I have been in the medical field for over 17 years and I truly look forward to finding the right family to connect with! Hopefully we can chat soon! Thank you so much for your time.

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Annie! I love taking care of kids because it’s also fun for me too. I get to share my interests and do things that I don’t usually do in my day to life and letting the kids lead the way into what my day might look like. I am highly extroverted and very talkative so whether your child can talk about the same thing for two hours or doesn’t jump at conversation, I believe I can be a good fit. I have a keen love for the arts in every form. Whether it be as simple as sketching or even making music and big mixed-media collages (and dress up of course). :) What sets me apart for other sitters is that I won’t just be there to watch them and make them lunch. I love to get involved with kids as much as possible and to make sure they are benefiting from their time with me! I have always been the neighbor nanny and babysitter all throughout high school. I do not have a car in the city, however, I do have reliable transportation!

Hi! I love working with kids and creating a fun and learning environment for kids! I spent four years as a nanny for two different families. The children were ages 1-10 during the years that I worked with them. I have also worked at a daycare for two years, with infants through school-age children, and I have experience working with kids with lots of different types of needs:)
