I have been working with children professionally as a full time nanny for the past 23 years. I have extensive experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, including experience with twins and in nanny shares. I love to form a bond with the children I work with; I have stayed with most of my nanny families from when their child was a newborn or infant until they began preschool, 2 to 3 years later. I love spending time with kids; they always keep me on my toes! I really enjoy reading books, singing and playing with babies and young children, and taking them out to the park on a nice day. I also incorporate my love of animals and nature in our day, as I love to teach children about the living world around them, and help to bring out their inner scientist. I grew up in the Northern Virginia area just outside of Washington DC; I got my AS at NVCC, before finishing up my BS in Biology at George Mason University. I lived in Portland, OR for over 10 years, before moving to Collinsville, IL in August 2022. In my free time I bike, hike, swim, practice yoga, and cook healthy meals.

Hi! My name is Paiton I am 20 years old and in the process of getting a degree in languages studies with five years of experience providing childcare for families. My passion for working with children stems from a desire to positively impact their lives and support families in need of reliable care. I believe in creating a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. I'm a creative and friendly person. My worldly knowledge and quick thinking allow me to adapt to various situations and engage children effectively. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates and following their preferred communication method. With my experience and skills, I'm comfortable caring for up to four children of all ages. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that promote learning. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a safe and structured environment.

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.

Hello! My name is Maggie, I'm 19, and I have a passion for working with children. With each family I work with, it is my goal to leave everyone feeling happy, safe, cared for, and heard. Here's some more about my experience: I enjoy engaging kids in creative activities like outdoor play, reading, and games that keep them active and happy. I have my own car, and am willing to commute, or take the children where they need to go during the day. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and maintaining routines like bedtime and clean-up. Safety is always my top priority, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and attentive to each child’s needs. I aim to communicate clearly with parents and always follow any specific instructions to make sure your child is well cared for. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide a safe, fun experience for your children!

Im 21 years old and I am applying for this job because I love children so much. I grew up watching all my siblings and cousins from birth until they have reached adolescence stage. I am the second oldest of 4 and I've watched my little siblings.I cook , do laundry, clean, help them with homework, supervise for the activities they do. For infant/toddler babies, I would change pampers, feed and play with them. I've gone to North Technical High School for Early Childcare and I've created activities and then supervised the children. For the children whom I worked with were ages from 2 to 5 years old. I also served them snack and make sure they were safe. I made lesson plans for the following subjects math, science, language, gross motor, music, and art. I think you should know that I am certified to do first aid and CPR
