I am looking for a babysitter, preferably 18 years or older, to do some light sitting for my 15 month old son. Would love a referral if anyone knows one.

Hi my name is K. and I am only 16 but I do a lot of babysitting for children much younger than 15 months. The newest I watch is less than 3 months and I watch her with her very attention hungry 3 year old sister. I work with kids in a program called P.R.E.P. for volunteer work and they are all under the age of 5. I would be very interested in babysitting for you if you would have me. If you feel more comfortable with someone older though, I do understand.

hi my name is M. and i have two boys 19mon and 9weeeks imon maternaty leave and am considering no returning to work for the reason that it would not be wort ($$$) travleing down town and leaving my boys with a sitter for so long. I have been thinking of doing some nanny work since oct when my son was born but wasn't sure if leaving my current job was the right thing to do. but after looking at my options and doing the math i desided that this was the best thing to do. Stay home with my boys and help out another family by babysitting for them. So i guess long story short if you could tell me alittle about your son and the hrs you need. i would love to apply I live on Harlem and belmont (my husband works on Lake and harvey) i would like to know if you would allow me to bring my boys with me? I did meet with one mom this past weekend, but she wants me to meet her sons father before she can mke a decision.9he is a police officer and his schedule isn't very flexable so she said as soon as she can get us together she will) I on the other hand need to let my current employer( a dentist downtown) know that i will not be returning to work, but don't want to do so untill i know i have a family lined up. whn are you looking for someone to start? pls e-mail me @ ____@____.com or call my cell phone ###-###-####

Hi N.-
I live in Oak Park too and have had great success finding babysitters for my two sons through Concordia and Dominican University. You can call them and place an ad with their student services/unions. They just started back at school this week and I am sure people are looking for some extra money.

N.,

I have a babysitter that watches my 8.5 month old son during the day for me. She is almost 20 and is a student at Dominican University, majoring in elementary education. She is available in the evenings if that is what you needed?

You could also try posting a job listing at Dominican, that is how I found Crystal who has been watching our son since July.

If you would like more information or contact info for Crystal, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Jessica
