I have been in childcare for many years and in many different settings, including daycares, private households as a full time nanny, and of course countless date-night/occasional families. I am CPR certified for infants and adults, and am currently in school for education. I love working with children because I enjoy watching their curious nature flourish and having my part in helping them learn and grow. I have experience with all ages, as well as experience with potty training, sleep training, etc. All of my different experience has helped me become the caregiver I am today, and I look forward to growing and learning even more.

Hi! I'm currently working at a daycare where I've gained 5 years experience along with additional babysitting experience. I primarily work with 5 to 11 year olds, but I also work with 6 week to 4 year olds during the school day. Because of this I am first aid certified along with being CPR certified for Infants, Children, and Adults. I'm a current student at Northern Illinois University in the Education department. My major is in Middle Level Math education (to be a middle school math teacher), but I've also taken professional development courses in early life and elementary education. I was also chosen for NIU's 2024 Educate Global trip where I had the chance to teach for a month in Indonesia, so I have plenty of interesting stories to tell!

Being a sitter can make you feel a sense of fulfillment by providing care and support while building a positive relationship with the children and their families. It’s a job where you can be creative, active, and make a meaningful impact on young lives. Growing up as the oldest coming from a big family you take on a lot of responsibilities and skills like communication, patience, understanding of child development stances, adaptability, problem solving, safety awareness, the availability to stay calm under pressure, and being able to foster a child’s social, emotional, and intellectual growth through engaging activities.

I can watch the kids either at my house or yours, whichever works better for you. I also have a 3 1/2 nephew that loves to play with other kids if you’re comfortable with him coming with me occasionally or bringing the kids back to my house to play and hang out! I have a pretty flexible schedule, and am always up to help. I do have another nannying job that varies week to week but on days I don’t have them am very happy to help any way I can. I have always loved children and am told I have a special way with them.
