Hello parents! My experience includes nannying for infants from the newborn stage through 1 year of age (including twins experience) and being a daycare assistant teacher for kiddos aged 2 to 3 years old. I am also experienced in school-age pickups/dropoffs, homework help, and after-school routine management. Most recently, I have been an after-school elementary youth instructor on-site with the Rockford and Harlem Public School District. My approach with your children is loving and caring as if they are my own while maintaining the rules you set as the parent. The basis of my personalized approach is to ensure your kids still meet their emotional, developmental, and psychological goals as if in the parent's care. My experience caring for children with special needs has also greatly benefited my comfort and confidence in childcare. I myself have a nonverbal younger sister with severe disabilities. My care for her has sharpened my attentiveness and understanding of the needs of infants and young children, as well as comfort in activities like bathing, dressing, feeding, or entertaining—and not being afraid of handling messy accidents. I am the oldest child of four, so naturally enjoy caring for others and will feel fulfilled being a helping hand to your family. No job is too big or small, and I often go above and beyond to assist in cooking, housekeeping, or pet care. Please reach out and feel free to ask questions or verbalize any concerns. I’m excited to speak with you! (I am CPR/AED/First Aid Certified and fully vaccinated against COVID-19, preferring an environment in which others are too, however, am comfortable masking at any point and for any period of time.)

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 :)

Hello loves I have been babysitting for the past 6-7 years for many different families and would love to care for your little one too! I’m currently in school attending RockValley College for psychology and child development and because I love children so much I feel I learn better about them from being around them! I always have trouble expressing myself and by watching your children I can learn from them, as they learn from me!

Hi, I am a 21 year old female who needs a little extra money. I graduated in 2022 and I passed all my Childhood Education classes. I also did a preschool/early childhood class. I worked at the Boys and Girls Club for 2 years. Now I am working at a School as a GPA (Someone who watches the kids at lunch and recess).I have babysat for many occasions for friends and family.I am CPR Certified and able to handle emergency situations. I am responsible. I have a clean criminal background. I am usually a very positive person, always laughing and smiling. I am patient and I am able to accommodate for different children in figuring out what they need/want and figuring out what works best for them. I can engage in any activity that the child enjoys for example board/video games, art projects, freeze dance, kicking a soccer ball around, etc. I am a great listener and empathetic. I am experienced with babies and able to learning what needs to be done. I am good at communicating with parents about what is going on and updates, especially if there is an emergency situation. I can be a little quiet and shy at first but once I feel comfortable I am able to express my concerns/ questions/ thoughts. I have a drivers license and a car. I am able to work with the parents and whatever they need me to do what that is how they feel they need to discipline or want me to clean the house, etc. I’m all about making both the parents and children in my care feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I am willing to negotiate how much you can pay me an hour, but would prefer $20 or more.
