Hello! My name is Linda, a 22 year old recent college graduate. I graduated from Elmhurst University with my Bachelor of Science in Public Health and a minor in Psych. Back in Elmhurst I also worked at an immediate care, meaning I am BLS certified. I used to nanny and babysit for many families back on campus, but am back in Rockford. I love kids and can provide many references. I am great with engaging kids and keeping them active with minimum screen time, as requested by parents. I met so many families back in Elmhurst, many of which I still keep in contact with. Looking to meet a family I can grow with :)

Hi! My name is Nicole, and I’m 25 years old with over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve cared for little ones through nannying, babysitting, and supporting family members with young kids—including currently helping care for my 1-year-old niece. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids can thrive emotionally, socially, and developmentally. I’m patient, reliable, and love being hands-on—whether that means planning engaging activities, helping with routines, or supporting milestones like potty training or early language development. I also understand the importance of clear communication and building strong, trusting relationships with parents. I am looking to connect with a family that values warmth, consistency, and genuine care. I’d love to bring my experience and enthusiasm to a new role!
