Hello parents! My experience includes nannying for infants from the newborn stage through 1 year of age (including twins experience) and being a daycare assistant teacher for kiddos aged 2 to 3 years old. I am also experienced in school-age pickups/dropoffs, homework help, and after-school routine management. Most recently, I have been an after-school elementary youth instructor on-site with the Rockford and Harlem Public School District. My approach with your children is loving and caring as if they are my own while maintaining the rules you set as the parent. The basis of my personalized approach is to ensure your kids still meet their emotional, developmental, and psychological goals as if in the parent's care. My experience caring for children with special needs has also greatly benefited my comfort and confidence in childcare. I myself have a nonverbal younger sister with severe disabilities. My care for her has sharpened my attentiveness and understanding of the needs of infants and young children, as well as comfort in activities like bathing, dressing, feeding, or entertaining—and not being afraid of handling messy accidents. I am the oldest child of four, so naturally enjoy caring for others and will feel fulfilled being a helping hand to your family. No job is too big or small, and I often go above and beyond to assist in cooking, housekeeping, or pet care. Please reach out and feel free to ask questions or verbalize any concerns. I’m excited to speak with you! (I am CPR/AED/First Aid Certified and fully vaccinated against COVID-19, preferring an environment in which others are too, however, am comfortable masking at any point and for any period of time.)

Hi! My name is Kate, and I bring 22 years of hands-on caregiving experience to every family I work with. Caring for others isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. Over the years, I’ve worked with children of all ages, from infants to teens, as well as families with pets who need attentive, loving care while their owners are away. I’m known for being reliable, calm, patient, and deeply attentive, and I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing environment where children and pets feel comfortable, secure, and genuinely cared for. I understand that trust is everything when inviting someone into your home. I treat every family with respect, communicate clearly, and follow routines and preferences carefully. Whether it’s playtime, homework help, bedtime routines, medication reminders, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship, I approach each responsibility with professionalism and heart.

I love being a sitter because it gives me the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s daily life. I truly enjoy helping others feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. Building trust and forming genuine connections with the people I assist is one of the most rewarding parts of the job. I have 5 years of experience working as a caregiver and sitter. During that time, I’ve supported clients with a variety of needs, including daily living tasks, companionship, mobility assistance, meal preparation, and maintaining a safe home environment. I am a certified caregiver and also hold a CPR certification.

Currently a Nanny of a 14 year old boy with Down syndrome. I’ve been with him for the past 3 years. Prior to him I watched a girl when she was 4-6 years old. I’ve enjoyed making connections not only with children but also their families. I LOVE taking kids on outings and don’t mind helping with household tasks! Although, I am a current Nanny, I’m looking to work more hours to build up my savings to get a home. I’m an unmarried 27 years old. I went to City First Leadership College for 4 years for ministry training and so if you appreciate a faith based care taker or simply someone with high morals, I’m your gal!
