We are seeking a reliable, energetic, and caring babysitter to look after our imaginative and active 5-year-old son on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in Des Plaines, near Allstate Arena, Chicago, IL. I work from home and will be present during the babysitting hours. Your responsibilities will include preparing breakfast and lunch, engaging in fun activities, and possibly assisting with school drop-off. Applicants must be comfortable driving with a child and have reliable transportation; we will provide a car seat. We value patience and enthusiasm and are looking for someone who can match our son's energy and creativity. Additional hours may be available in the summer, so flexibility is a plus. No pets are present in our home. Thank you for considering this opportunity!
