I am a nanny with years of experience working with children from the ages of 1 month to 12 years. I enjoy caring for children and bring a considerable skill set to meet the needs of each child. I provide nurturing, compassion, creativity, and problem solving in my care of children. On a personal note, my two kids are grown and I have more time on my hands. With that time, I want to help young families thrive and earn money to surprise my Mom with a large gift.

My name is Crystal. I am 40 years young with lots of time in childcare. I have two grown young men both looking into being in the arts. One loves music and making sounds. The other a graphic arts designer. As high schooler, I took Child Development because I've always loved children. I would say I want ten however, I was only able to have two. I am looking to foster a child and adopt. I was adopted at two weeks old so I learned to love unconditionally at an early age. I love to teach. I took seven years of Spanish in school and I'm refreshing as I continue to teach. I'm also learning sign language. I have numerous clock hours and CPR training from my current and previous jobs. My goal is to open my own center and retire watching all my babies grow in productive and respectful individuals. I AM VERY COVID CAUTIOUS! My son is diabetic and lives at home.

Hi! My name is Keiko, and caring for kids has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. I attended Oklahoma State University, where I majored in Business Management with a concentration in Human Resources. Later, I felt called to healthcare, so I switched paths, attended nursing school, and earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I recently got engaged and moved to Edwardsville, IL, and I’m currently waiting to start my first nursing job as a Neonatal Intensive Care Nurse. I’ve always had a passion for children and even had a hard time deciding between teaching and my other degrees. Ultimately, I chose different fields — but I knew I would always find ways to be around and work with kids. Nursing allows me to do exactly that! Throughout college, I led the Foster Youth Advocates Club and worked as a support person in a Pre-K classroom that needed extra hands, especially with the littles. I also spent 10 weeks as a camp counselor at an overnight camp for children ages 5–13, where campers stayed for two weeks at a time. That experience gave me a deep understanding of caring for kids on a long-term, consistent basis. Alongside school, I worked with many local families doing school pick-ups and drop-offs, dentist appointments, after-school activities, haircuts, and everything in between. I love helping families in any way I can, and I take pride in being a positive role model for the children I care for. I truly believe it’s a privilege to be part of a child’s life and childhood — even in small ways — and I aim to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment for every child I meet. I’d love the opportunity to partner with your family!

I've loved caring for children for as long as I could remember. I started babysitting at 12 and as the oldest of five siblings, I grew up helping care for younger children daily. 11 years as a mom myself, I truly understand children's needs at every stage and how important patience, structure and kindness are. I have experience with infants, including colicky babies, supporting children with attention, anxiety and behavioral challenges, as well as children with special needs. I'm calm, dependable, and very attentive, with a strong sense of empathy and understanding. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident their little ones are in caring hands.

I'm a caring and responsible individual with a passion for helping children learn and grow in a fun, supportive environment. I have six younger siblings that I’ve babysat before more than enough times.
