Hello! My name is Lisa,I have been working with children for over 20 years, 15 as a full time private nanny. I am CPR and first aid certified, have taken many early childhood education college courses (CDA), and have a clean driving record. I am also fully vaccinated. I am married without children of my own, so I can be very flexible with my schedule as long as it's full time. I have worked in Caledonia, St. Charles, Wilmette Palatine,Wheeling,Arlington Heights, and currently in Inverness. I have fantastic references from many former employers (as their full time nanny) who can assure you that I am never late, always early. Being a nanny is not just a job to me,it's my career,and I take that responsibility seriously. I enjoy working closely with parents to provide the best care possible for their children. My goals are to meet the physical, emotional, educational, and social needs for the children to thrive and be happy. I love indoor play (art projects, pretend play,dancing,ect.) And activities outside of the home. Parks,library,classes,Gymborree, and any other activities that sound fun and/or educational. I have a lot of experience, and I'm game for pretty much anything! I have experience with ages 2 months to 12 years, and that includes watching siblings of different ages. The family that I am currently working for has twins. My 3rd set of twins! I have been with this family for almost 5 years and the girls are going off to full time school in August. I have always had a commute to work, which I'm fine with. I have never chosen a family to work for based upon where they live. I am fortunate that I have always followed my instincts and chosen to work for families who I, and the families,believe is the perfect fit. I would love the opportunity to chat and hear more about your family and share more about myself with you! Thank you for your time, Lisa Feel free to call me at 630-779-1431

Availability is at my home and yours. Hi, here I am. You found me. I have provided childcare for many years and have great references. I have full time, part time and drop in care availability. School holiday and vacations are my specialty. I was born in Chicago and am of Polish decent (bilingual). Living in the Woodstock, IL . I am available in my home or yours. I have transportation if needed. We are a fun family and have strong family values. I have over 10 years of childcare experience. We have a clean, smoke and pet free home. I love to have fun and am passionate for caring for children. Here in my home we have everything a child needs and wants, (well...except a pony) we limit the television and encourage social, and independent play. I am a huge believer in educational play and activities. We enjoy doing crafts, baking, cooking and taking nature adventures dancing and singing too. I believe in enriching a child's days as they play. I love getting down and dirty, whether it be in the sand box, finger painting or doing crafts. I am able to help with homework and school projects. I encourage children to participate in all the daily activities including baking and cooking. I provide healthy snacks and a place to rest. Meals will be provided. Pet care is also available. Overall we have fun. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. Eva

Hello! My name is Maia, I am 22 years old I’m the oldest in my family by a big age gap, so taking care of kids has always been second nature to me. I have three younger siblings and a bunch of cousins—all age 12 and under—so I’ve been surrounded by little ones my whole life. I’ve been babysitting for family, neighbors, and family friends for years and truly love spending time with kids. Whether it’s helping with homework, keeping them entertained, or making sure they’re safe and happy, I always treat every child like family.
