Michelle H. - Hoffman Estates Babysitter

**My goal is to not only provide wonderful care to your children, but to make your life as a parent easier!**

Hi there! I am a 29 year-old non-smoking, fun, honest, and dependable female residing in Elgin, IL seeking Part-Time babysitting positions in the Chicago Northwest/West Suburb areas.

I have over 16 years of experience with children of all ages; ranging from newborns to adolescents, and from twins to triplets. I also have reliable transportation, so not only will I be able to drive to your home to watch your children, but I can also take them out for activities and/or any social engagement they need to be at, if desired or necessary. I was also certified in CPR and First Aid in 2007 and am willing to re-certify to remain current.

In addition to my qualifications, I absolutely love children. I sincerely enjoy being with them. I think it takes a very unique and special person to work with children... you either have that "knack" or you don't. I truly believe I have that quality; and so do the families I currently work for and have worked for. :)

I think the most important element in having a nanny or babysitter is really knowing them on a personal level as well. Many times that person becomes essentially a part of the family. I have a family back in Detroit who I worked for from the time their oldest was 15 months (she is now 5). I keep in touch with them regularly, visit them when I go home, and truly consider them such wonderful friends and really like family. I have another family who moved to Europe for the father's job after I only worked for them part time for a year. I still receive emails from them with updates and pictures, and the mother says the children still talk about me (it has been over 3 years since I saw them last)!

In addition to providing wonderful care to your children, I am also comfortable with keeping the house clean, cooking, bathing the children, doing laundry, etc. 

I hope to hear from you soon!  :)
