Hi parents! I've spent many years working with children of all ages. I've nannied infants from newborn to age 1 (including twins), worked as a daycare assistant teacher for 2 to 3 year olds, and most recently helped care for after-school groups of elementary-age kids on-site with the Rockford and Harlem public school districts. I also enjoy helping with school pickups and dropoffs, homework, and after-school routines. I naturally care for your children with the same love I'd give my own, always respecting the rules you set as their parent while supporting their emotional and developmental growth. As the oldest of four and a prior caregiver to my nonverbal younger sister with severe disabilities, I bring patience, attentiveness, and an easygoing approach to bathing, dressing, feeding, playtime, and even inevitable messy accidents! I'm happy to pitch in however I can, including cooking, housekeeping, or pet care as time allows. My favorite part of this work is staying with a family long enough to watch the kids grow and become an important part of their lives! Please reach out with any questions or concerns. I'd love to connect!

Paloma was timely, flexible, and caring with my infant (11m/o) and toddler (2.5 y/o). She put both my infant and toddler to sleep, and managed two at the same time. She provided text and picture updates and even captured a few notes that she left behind on the counter. I'd recommend!

Hello! My name is Amorin, I live in the downtown beloit area and I am a seasonal farmworker as the head chef at Kinnikinnick Farms. I have two sons (ages 2 and 5) that me and the father of my children split custody with. His days are wed-friday so those days work best for me to care for your child earlier then 9 am. I have CPR/Heimlich and First Aid certification and I love all fur babies so I would have no problem working in a household with animals.

Amorin did a fantastic job watching my 3 year old son. She was very conscious of his food allergies, yet still made sure he was fed nutritiously and stayed active. My little guy loved being with her.

Hi families! My name is Dylan, and I am a dedicated caregiver and Autism Behavioral Analyst who has spent my entire career helping children learn, grow, and thrive. My journey began early; while in high school, I earned an Early Childhood Certification through Blackhawk Technical College. Immediately after graduation, I gained valuable classroom experience at Little Turtles Daycare, followed by youth mentoring and group management at the YMCA. To further elevate my skills, I joined Caravel Autism Health and advanced my career as an Autism Behavioral Analyst. While I specialize in behavioral health and developmental challenges, my deep understanding of underlying childhood behavioral patterns and milestones gives me a massive advantage with children of all capabilities—both neurotypical and neurodivergent. I love combining the fun, nurturing energy of a great babysitter with the structured, patient expertise of a specialist to give parents total peace of mind!

Hi! My name is Jamesia, and I am a passionate Early Childhood Education professional who truly loves working with children. I earned my Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education in March 2026 and am currently pursuing my Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood Education with a focus in Leadership at Rasmussen University. I began my bachelor’s program in April 2026 and am expected to graduate in September 2027. I currently work as a Preschool Teacher with the City of Rockford and have nearly a year of professional experience in Early Childhood Education. I have also gained experience working with elementary-aged children, including teaching third grade. What I love most about working with children is watching them grow and discover who they are. I enjoy supporting their social, emotional, and cognitive development, encouraging their curiosity, and watching their personalities come to life. I believe every child deserves patience, understanding, encouragement, and a safe environment where they can learn and be themselves. I am CPR and First Aid trained and DCFS cleared. I take the responsibility of caring for children seriously and strive to provide families with dependable, nurturing, and professional care. I would love the opportunity to care for your child and provide them with the same patience, attention, and genuine care that I bring to my classroom every day. ❤️
