Babysitters in Grandwood Park, IL

I love children

I am a 19 year old college student who is a compassionate and patient individual pursuing a Bachelor of Science at Knox College with aspirations of becoming a neonatal nurse, I am deeply committed to working with young children and supporting their early development in a safe and nurturing environment. My experience in childcare began with caring for my young niece and nephew during both the school year and summer months. Through this hands-on experience, I taught foundational skills such as numbers, the alphabet, and basic routines—helping foster their growth while gaining a deeper understanding of early childhood development. These moments reinforced my desire to contribute to children’s learning and wellbeing in a professional setting.

Hi! I’m Gwen, a dependable and experienced babysitter with over 10 years of childcare experience, including 3 years as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). I’ve worked with children of all ages and abilities, and I bring a calm, patient, and positive approach to every family I work with. My background in behavior therapy has given me strong skills in communication, emotional regulation, and creating structured, supportive environments—perfect for helping kids feel safe and confident. Whether it’s homework help, playtime, or bedtime routines, I make sure your child feels cared for and engaged. I’m also CPR and first aid certified, and families describe me as reliable, attentive, and easy to work with. I’d love the chance to support your family!
